Hi SSM!

Think I've found the volunteering place for me.
Local housing charity for 16 -24 year old.

Took in some surplus crafting stuff and had a chat, I like their ethos and as it is not a big organisation there is minimal red tape!!

Said I didn't want to get back to the s working type of thing:eek:was almost given a place on their board of directors there and then.

Also they will happily take and use well any free/cheap or surplus stuff my Eliting produces.

You will love it.

When I was at uni, I did temp. work at a hostel for young adults, it was the best job I have ever had!

I got the local fruit and veg shop donating food, everyone cooking meals and eating together, each evening I run an activity - with was often linked to Dirty Dancing film and getting people exercising! I got a farmer friend to donate a bag of wheat.. and we made heat wheaty bags, which they sold and bought a second TV for the hostel. It really was an enjoyable job x

Well, what do you say to that!!

Question from me to all......please remember I am re-learning AND I have concussion:rotfl::rotfl:

APG .....assume they cannot be re-used like it used to be possible to do?

If I had a refund on a shop but that receipt then produced an APG - when used will it flag anywhere that a refund has been issued?

and..... if i buy 3 gift sets....what would happen if I returned 1 to change for a different set?

thanks in advance

Hi, you can use it as many times as you like a day, but you'll only collect up to 10 envelopes a day. You then open the envelopes to either get a weekly prize draw or an instant win prize. These start from bottles of coke in M & S to £50 vouchers for pizza express i think.. lots of £3 greggs and M & S vouchers.
No limit to how much you have to spend. I used my card to pay the loose 19p on an asda shop today.[/QUOTE]

do you open the envelopes as you go along or wait until you get home? We dont seem to get an envelope for each purchase
Is there a minimum spend?

cool thanks- so getting 3 of the loreal sport - coz that's the only one that works from that range- could potentially take 2 back and swap for different flavours

He was very patient, hope he thought it was worth the wait.

M list is now restored, and I am more than half way through updating Wednesday. I am leaving it now for the night and with me thinking the honey will most likely work:rotfl: - I'd actually say it stands a much better chance than the 6 pack Wholemeal Baps working 65p or 2 for £1 against 50p M (A doesn't say how large its ones are, so I have omitted them, thinking it will be N/A) - the honey nowhere near as good as the ones at 10p(?)/15p(?) in M probably a couple of years ago though and, no excuse, as honey lasts "forever", if you had those in your M, you should have bought either the entire stock you had or enough of them to last your lifetime.

See you later:wave:.
