    They love me :D

    I got another £2 off (no minimum spend) voucher today when I was only spending a few quid on nappies

    It meant I could go back in and get an extra pack for just 1p :money:

    I could technically just boycott the place for months but our sainsbobs has the cheapest petrol around here so however little I shop in the place I then bump my average spends up with tanks of fuel a couple of times a month
    and then there are the Tu clothing sales

    How did you know they are my favourite? :EasterBun Are they Twinks hob nobs?

    No tales of woe except paying 78p each for 4 boxes of 500g icing sugar. I have the dilemma now of baking my brother a birthday cake or finishing off a crochet square. Both are happening today, just can't decide on the order :)

    Oh and I did get a £5 More voucher too :rotfl:

    I've just checked and have 500 points for my next shop in Homebase. There doesn't appear to be a qualifying amount to spend:)

    Make sure you check all the offers right to the last one as I got that offer and further down 750 points about a month ago, both no minimum spend and when I used my card at Homebase they both got added. :T

    I am convinced sainsbobs hates me, def have less offers. There is shed paint I want from home base and an extra 500 points would have been ideal :)

    Oh mhoc I have just looked today and I have 1000 points no minimum spend for homebase. :o In past 2 months I have had the 500 points twice, first time I only spent £2 so profit, plus the 750 points and now they have upped it to 1000, I can feel the luurve. :eek:

    I'm so lucky bubbs, one really close and one near the JL where I use my coffee and cake vouchers, but then I don't have a Morries or where was it you were all getting the Walkers from, Fultons?

    We didn't have a B&M until fairly recently think it was last year but I never seem to find any of the bargains there that are reported on HUKD. :(

    Good afternoon ..hope everyone is coping with the heat and drinking plenty...I have just had a really fun Skype with my D Bro in Denmark he is busy paint his openplan downstairs and being a smoker it needs doing quite frequently ..He was so excited cause his slow cooker has been delivered and he has been trying to get one for quite a while...he then ask me to get mine out of the cupboard to compare the sizes and I was unsure how many litres mine was so the way we compared was to put the glass lids on our heads his idea I might add and judge it that way :eek::eek:we laughed so much I nearly peed me draws:rotfl::rotfl:..I do love my little Bro .
