    let us know your findings, I really resent paying money in there - 10 ways says to ask for a big glass of tap water and the cup should come with one sticker

    The last time we were in it cost most of a tenner - I thought about the really nice meal deals I could get via groupon with not much more than a tenner and often a bit less

    Re the cup of water having a sticker on it , I wouldn t bet on it. They have been known to either take them off or give you a cup without one. :(

    can you do a BIG SHOUT OUT for Neros very early on Tuesday mornings pretty please.

    We went up to Sainsbobs this morning and back via Morrobobs - I asked OH why he was going through town and he said it was just a scenic route. We were driving towards the traffic lights and then there was a chorus of OMG ITS TUESDAY - both of us had totally forgotten it was Neros Tuesday so there was a shift change of direction
    - never forgotten before, very odd

    Good morning all....

    The sun is trying to shine here....but I read reports of snow further North....so my fingers are crossed that somewhere in between there is a little bit of sun to shine on someone very special today.

    I need to update my toiletries for last week....in terms of out it was a perfume sample and no in's .....but this week already I seem to be making good progress with a few things so next week will be much more productive in the out section I hope.

    warm wishes to all those waiting on results for tests and to mhoc who must be in full flow wedding mode by now!

    Frugal is going well too and I dont think we are spending too much.
    The Credit card bill arrived for last month and I am pleased that for once it was well under 4 figures so heres hoping that that can be repeated next month too.

    Was hoping for a little baby news but it looks like our newest elite is going to keep us waiting....but I hope you are managing to sleep Di, and not jumping each time the phone rings....all exciting stuff x

    love to all x
    I feel like she's been pregnant for years :rotfl:

    I must admit to over buying when I started out with glitches, but now I do pass on a lot of the stuff or if its free I get it and put it in the foodbank trolley on the way out. Not sure there was any foodbank trolleys in our town in 2013 thinking about it, as when I started putting into the foodbank I was taking it to another town 30 mins away!


    I also had put in 2 receipts into quidco and neither of them have tracked and neither showed an id no. so will redo them in a bit

    My OHs Quidco items from March 16th have now gone through but mine still have not tracked - uploaded twice so Ive got 2 IDs plus the unanswered email with photos. It makes no sense as both submissions done in the same hour.
    Well Ive uploaded todays amstel and moults, have to see what happens.

    Our reduced cans section in Sainsbobs had 2 slightly dented tins of irish stew for 15p each (normally 60p) so these are the start of my next food bank bag donation
