Thanks HG, anything for the Amex nectar card? cheers

I’m afraid I don’t have one of those. As far as I know I can only refer for the cards I hold. I’m sure there will be a member of the elite who can help

I got accused of fraud from A's a while back when I bought some DB and they werent in stock. They told me not to shop online there again. I've never done a c&c since but still do instore shop there.
The word fraud seems to be bandied about too easily

And the word "slander". Should an ASDA employee accuse you of fraud again, try popping it into their lughole.

Good morning all hope the elite are well, xx
Of to Bangor today after 14 months Ds3 has finally got a specialist appointment. Tesco's in Bangor to so may have to go get some pizzas, anyone know if they all compare please thanks xxx

Probably too late for your shop, but the pizza's have gone down to £1.50 in Tesco, so no overage.
Got some last night without realising and had to pay for the extras I was getting as matched Asda's price of £1.50

Did anyone get the Argoos testers email this afternoon and if so did you manage to apply on time?
If so can you put me out of my misery and tell me what is being tested - I am hoping that it was mops, floor polishers, irons, ironing boards, gaming equipment ....
Anything other than something I would actually have wanted ...

They don't seem to like me at the moment

On the plus side though I thought this morning it was high time I tackled the Boden problem.

At the end of last year they kindly sent me a voucher :j and I ordered some jeans with it paying partly with the voucher and partly with paypal. Then we went off on holiday and I forgot totally until we came back and I realised when we came back that the jeans had not arrived.

I rang them up and they refunded me my money back into paypal and said they would put a gift voucher onto my account.

Today I noticed that their was still a 70% Boden sale online so I looked through and I found a nice floral top for £16 - I thought I had either £10 or £15 gift voucher on the account so I would just pay the difference. The gift voucher was not showing though so I rang them up. I must have ordered things before as a guest because the girl could see 5 accounts in my name but she did find the missing gift voucher and gave me the account number. I was to put this number into the special instructions box when I checked out and the gift voucher would be adjusted from my bill.

It turned out that the voucher was for £20 :j - not ten or fifteen as I imagined so I had another look and found a plain blue and a plain red tops with round necklines for £14 each, useful to go with the summer white jeans and ordered these instead of the floral one - so 2 Boden tops for £8 in real money with 80p from TCB eventually
- around here our charity shops are very expensive and you just would not get a top for £4 never mind a Boden one - there is never any nice labels.

Then I trotted off to the Co-op in search of milk. Our Co-ops have had the 2 bottles of milk offer for £2 for a few weeks so with the NUS and Co-op cards it was working out at 2 for £1.80.

(I know Farm Foods is cheaper but its not as easy to go in that direction and I always ending up with a trolley load when I go there)

The milk offer was off but they had wisemans milk for £1 - 90p after using the 2 blue cards so that was good enough.

The till gave me a till spit coupon - 50p off pet food :j I've had this one a few times before and fortunately the little square cat food trays were still on offer for 25p so I got 3 of those which after discounts was 18p :T Sophie cat likes these, very much a Princess cat!

I didn't think I was due for a coupon as I got one on the last visit last week - 50p off breakfast cereals and I got 500g bags of porridge oats for 26p - we had literally run out of porridge oats that day so the timing was perfect
