Make some calls? Send some texts? Data?

:rotfl:

playstation wallet top up. I put £11 via debit card to take £10 off as you have to pay for the text.

On another i gave some to charity
Any charity will say text xxx to xxx is also another
this was because i didnt realise that it took money off for the text so was under the figures you could send to playstation wallet

This is the first time I've bought my child a train ticket.

When will I see the points in my account?

Coop are now doing Marvellous Mis-shapes (wonky veg).

Bag potatoes 89p, but paid 39p with moc, parsnips rtc 15p, received another 50p moc off a ready meal.

OO a ready meal is a hard one ...

We went in yesterday to get OH his cloudy lemonade 2L - his preferred drink now and I also got brandy mincepies for 30p - all my stores are rubbish at doing RTC. There was a very nice chap on the till and he was very enthusiastic about the coupons and how quickly the points build up - the till gave me another 50p off breakfast cereals.
I was going to get the porridge oats I got when I had the last coupon but instead I got the cornflakes - possibly not the best choice but OH eats them by the handful as late night snacks so at least he is not eating biscuits.
So the chap scanned the cornflakes and the MOC and the 2 blue cards and said why don't you use some of your points to pay for the cornflakes - didn't realise you could use points, MOC and cards all in one transaction.
Free cornflakes :T

Co-op are also now doing two 2l bottles of milk for £2 - so I've got a good excuse to try the cards at least once a week
(yes I know milks £1.50 for 2 in FarmFoods but its not as easy to get to and because of this I would spend a lot more than £1.50 in there ..)

Afternoon everyone.

A little warning to anyone thinking of getting a nexus 7 for AP....the one I bought does not have anywhere to insert a SIM card. So I can't use it. Only found this out after downloading AP and adding my card so I won't be able to play now I don't think.

Unless anyone knows of another way. Fed up!!!

Sorry, just a quick question.

Now I've registered my only visa for AP on a useless device, is that me out of the game?

Thank you

No, I've used the same card on multiple ap accs. You just need an nfc phone.

I think Emerald said she used a Nexus 7, not sure but maybe she could help?

Hello TS:T:T

I can give you an early morning forecast but it may not be very relevant.

A19 now open after a lorry jack knifed, lots of snow has fallen But neighbours are on the move.
As the lady in Lidl said....it’s the Dunkirk spirit all over again:rotfl:

I’d already planned to work from home for the first hour or so today so think the roads will be clear soon:)

Last night was the first night this Winter that Oz has cried to go out. He’s now on my knee under my dressing gown warming through:)

Where abouts do you live? There was a jack knifed lorry on A19 just near to us xx

Love a freebie.

I got a good ready meal with a similar moc last week - Tandoori Chicken, rtc 75p from a hefty £3, so I paid 25p. It was from their Balance range so less fat/salt, but it was really lovely and only 4 mins microwave. It had fresh parsley on top and about 65 ingredients, mostly Indian spices, chicken and sweet potato with Balti rice, non-freezable so I ate it the same night.

Co op are saying today (Business News) that their loyalty card cost them 35 million :eek::eek: last year but it was worth it.

Interesting - at least they seem to value their loyalty scheme and actively try to promote it, online and the staff in stores.

Unlike Mr T who have been trying to kill theirs off for at least 6 years. I tried to find out how much clubcard is costing them but I found this very old article which said its more than paid for by them selling our data to promoters - and this was long before cashbacks offers were invented ..
