    My nectar balance is as helthy as it's ever been. I'm pretty amazed at how quickly it's racked up because i was down to about £10 after the xmas double up.

    i've still got about 6000 from virgin to go on :eek:
    I would have had those from Virgin too, if they were not swines and change it to 250 when I had to buy some expensive tickets. Grrr!

    Think I might try a Viking order later.

    I still have those love2shop stupid vouchers to get rid of though, cant even add them to Amazon, totally useless things.

    I've had a £100 in total for my birthday so I've decided to treat myself to a bookcase from Ikea. They now do glass doors so I keep the dust off my books, its a problem in a old house and its hard to clean off them as it seems to stick.

    I hope you plan on eating/drinking the value of the bookcase first

    I used mine up on fresh meat, chicken and thick sliced bacon in Iceland - just the LTS giftcard to use up now. (I refuse to buy anything I wouldn't normally get, I'm too mean to waste them. :rotfl:)

    Has anyone tried the All4one in MS FoodHall? I have £30 to use up.

    Good morning everyone. I am sorry I have been MIA. RL a bit too mad at present.

    Are sharpies still working does anyone know please?

    Good afternoon. Was it you who mentioned the squeezy mayo and the problem of it sticking to the inside of the bottle a couple of weeks back? Only I recently gave the Asda SP one a try - bought it as a filler - and out of all the brands I've tried, it's the only one that doesn't actually stick to the inside.

    Sorry, me again. One more thing. Do we know if the Boots points thing is working if you buy four in one shop please? I mean, do we then get £10 worth of points? I've a 200 points wys £20 coupon and also an offer loaded to the card so was wondering if they would all stack nicely.

    Taking the whole family and I have a £5 birthday voucher. Not sure if I can use both at the same time but I'll ask and separate my shopping accordingly.

    I don't think even OH can eat £100 worth of food in Ikea lol
