  • Interesting little factoid from Boots today: when they have a triple points day, as they had today, you can't also use paper vouchers for spend thresholds but if you've loaded them on your card they can't prevent it and you get both :money: Bonus points for buying specific products also work. This amounted to points equivalent to 20% discount today and pushes my total to:

    Hello!!!


    Once again my sincere apologies for going missing:( I'm still trying to juggle many things at once but now with the added complication of working away from home several days a week. I haven't had time to draw breath recently:o


    I think everything is now up to date but if I have missed something, please let me know.


    Welcome to our newest recruits and Good Luck to you both, still plenty of time to save towards Christmas:)


    Fantastic totals for everyone as usual, we're getting to the business end of the year now and aren't we all doing well:D


    Keep up the good work and I will do my very best to update our totals more frequently:o


    Take care
    Ellie xx
