    Have a lovely Sunday lunch/tea tomorrow to look forward to with lots of friends, should be a great afternoon/evening.
    The chef of one of our local hostelries is our neighbour, 2 x sunday lunch ordered and he will deliver at about 4 pm. What we get can generally last the 2 of us for 3 main meals and no cooking and minimal washing up, all for £9! :j
    (PS You should see the size of his Yorkshires!!)

    Good morning everyone. Hope you are all okay. Not had much time to keep up recently because of real life.
    Epic win for me today - another useless sizzling voucher.

    Well done trulymadly. I did venture to asda on thursday night at the time I thought they did final reductions. Kept hanging around and then got chatting to another regular who said that they varied the whoopsie time each night and sometimes it could be 2 hours later so I left. Resorted to tesco last night and did manage to bag 3 value frozen cheesecakes for 56p each Nice dessert for family barbecue.
    Dont forget to check your tcb account in case anything has gone to paid to convert to tesco vouchers before end of month. My nationwide credit card has just gone to payable to a nice amount of points for a change. Must 'take care' of these points as they are going to be very few and far between now this avenue has closed.
    Anon - I had missed your posts and wondered where you were - welcome back.
    Rhos - cant wait to see the photos

    good point about checking your TCB accounts, my OH has still got 12p to convert but I don't think any of the small cashbacks on the pending list will go green for paid on time :(
    this was my main source of my cc points for the last few years so now only if I find a messy mr Tosssers with unkempt trolleys will I get to 150 points to get a quarterly statement now.
    We have just gone into the next quarter now which will end sometime in October

    my own TCB all I've got is 1p to convert so I've been out of the game since very early July

    I've been experimenting with small bits of cashback with converting them to Amazon credit and it's gone smoothly but it takes a day, it's not immediate but it's very useful to have an amazon balance

    also I had some larger ammounts in my TCB from taking out a credit card, Asda and Tesco orders so these I just converting via BACS, over £70 - I suppose some of this really needs to go to the holiday fund

    so now both TCB will have zero balances as does the Q
