Thanks all for not taking part in order to allow me my moment of glory - what gets me is you lot are so first - even when I get them right it takes me twice as long as everyone else and it is not because I am cheating and looking stuff up.

1st time I've done the quiz in ages.. piece of pish

What a busy day with customers :eek: buying things as well :eek:

Took me over 3 hours to go through £500 of 50ps Only found 2 Olympics & 4 Peter Rabbits

Just had a business drop off loads of pens, coasters, bags & googly eyed things - I'll leave them for someone else to deal with

Peter Rabbit is the only one I dont have of the set

I notice that Yeo Valley is down to 50p at COS but now 1.50 in Mr T so if you can still do COS and the T mag voucher then they are still free?

TM you were wrong on me meeting with Elaine but I am sure that would have been pleasure too

I met with the lovely BarleySugar, had a coffee and I had a cake too I am sure the carrots, nuts and butter icing are all low calorie

So lovely to meet you BS and we can catch up again when you get back from your holiday :T

I was very good and put nearly all by possible buys back in M&S outlet shop but did buy 10 jute Xmas shopping bags at 10p in the pound shop :j

Off to make DH his dinner Good little wife that I am :rotfl:

Good morning all, glorious sunshine here

I have the 20,000 point offer for American Express Nectar, couldn't spend £2,000 in my first 3 months at the moment though, although if it is still there when it gets near time to book the holiday it might be different .............

Don't forget £30 TCB if anyone is applying for this!

If I apply for this, is TCB the best way to go please?

That's the one thing I don't like about retirement, given that Grumpy is still working, albeit part time, the 'expectation' that I will cook! Don't get be wrong, I enjoy cooking, but not every day!

No I lied, there are 2 things, when I worked he did 90% of the ironing, lucky if he does 5% now:mad:

Probably worth also checking out the referrals board or PMing any of the Elite who already have an amex to see if their referral is worth more.

Good evening Elite.
Hoping everyone is warm, happy and well. Hugs to those not so.
Thanks OP - found some 75p Taylor's coffee in A. Also colouring pens & felt pen packs half price at 25p/30p.
Wilko also have a stationery range called 'Enterprising Britain' - many items say "Hello Lovely" on them - notebooks, pens, bags, boxes & accessories in this range all 70 - 90% off (now from 20p).
Also SD shelf was empty but worth checking for own brand 48hr crystal antiperspirant labelled at 18p and Palmolive shaving stick labelled at 7p.
