    Does anyone have any idea when Mail points are changing to Nectar ? They seem to be talking about May but also say 'as soon as possible' and I can't find anywhere that give a more definite timescale. I was saving for a £25 Tesco gift card but need 120 more points and don't want to get caught out - I was wondering whether to order a £15 card rather than risk the lot. Decisions Decisions !

    I was restrained. There were four boxes on the shelf and I only bought two. And the boxes are quite small...
    I think my love of a bargain got the better of me :D
