    Forgot to mention, Mrs Anon contacted N3ctar about missing 3k from February through FB and they have added those :D.

    It is definitely worth chasing.

    Anon

    Yes I did exactly that and the response was so quick I had my 3000 added quickly. :)
    since that I had the cards for 2000, which were added by the next morning :)
    Yesterday I ordered for the 5000 bonus points, and they have been added today:j:j:j
    ..and all of this I owe to everyone here, because I wouldn't have followed it through if it hadn't been for you crazy bunch;)
    so a good week with S its a shame A aren't as quick off the mark, I had £50 of e-vouchers I used on sunday, the bulk of my c+c order was not available and no subs given, 2 meal deals not sub even though id requested subs and a few other bits, sa then cancelled whole order and said e-vouchers would be refunded, still waiting and no correspondence from A:mad:

    I realy don't know anything about tax and working tax credits, but what boils my xxxx is that most local authorities struggle to pay minimum wage for carers for very vulnerable people.

    Yes I agree. My Mum has carers 4 times a day and they are great but dont get paid much and this useless carer wants £12.50 per hour. Sis is paying her for the next month but after that my other sis and I will reassess the situation as I dont want to be dragged back in to dealing with all the cooking and going there every day.

    Di- Hope Mum and baby are soon home. My DGD has a bit of jaundice but did not need hospital.

    Morning all

    some questions please re cashback

    On COS I've got Munchy seeds packs of 4 (bars?) with £1.50 cashback from Waitrose. These are about £2.49 so after cashback about a pound - cheaper than bars of chocolate, healthier and also useful as emergency food in your bag
    And very helpful in getting your free coffee and newspaper

    Then I noticed on mysupermaket that sometimes they go on offer for £1.50 so I wondered if Waitrose change prices at the start of the month or the first Sunday/Monday in the month - I know Sainsburys and Morribobs have patterns of price change days.

    It will probably be the day after the offer expires.
