With all the reports of wins on Android Pay I am thinking I may need to get one as a spare phone (well, just for this!). Is it only recent phones that can support Android Pay or are older phones compatible too? May just have to check Freecycle!

Many thanks

I have a Moto G Play which is a couple of years old. Works fine on that.

Took the Marigold back.

T's have all the selection boxes up to 184g on offer at £1.

My little T has no notice of restriction regarding numbers per customer that I could see.

My problem is that for personal use there would be an element of wastage - eg there is a Snickers bar in the Mars box, a pack of M&M peanuts in the M&M box, neither of which I like, and the plasticised chocolate that Cadbury/Kraft now make means that the Cadbury one is less than desirable.

Otherwise they are a bargain.

How many items are in a selection box - if there are say 5 or 6 would they still be worth buying if you put the ones you hate into the food bank trolley - maybe put them all in a plastic bag and put them in together?

For me though I gave up on cadburys and the like a long while ago. I have maybe a bar of green & Blacks or supermarket finest for maybe £1.50 if and when they are on offer and then eke them out - I would rather have small quantities of something really good than a lot of the Cadbury/Kraft stuff.
I like Ritter when I can get it from Home Bargains - mint or marzipan or the marzipan logs you can get at Christmas.
Also the Moser Roth mousse au chocolate you get in Aldi - you get 5 separate bars and often these will last me 2 maybe 3 weeks - 85% coca and sour cherry chilli or the orange version - very strong so you don't need much to cure the chocolate craving .

Morning luvlies

Didn’t get to S yesterday to double up, going this morning instead. Will look at their clothing too, thanks TM.

Didn’t we all get about 2000 N points last time just for doubling up, something at the back of my mind thinks we did. Aau1, please can you check your diary for last year and let us know as you’ve been bound to have logged it ::rotfl:

Haven't they done this a couple of times? I'm sure the mrs has got reward points twice now and I've never got anything even though all account communication preferences are set the same and the cards are used equally

I got an Amazon Fire tablet using 4000 points and £10

I'll need to look into all this Android Pay malarkey now ...unless it's restricted to phones?

(I was getting a tablet anyway, I didn't do this just to join the party)

Just checked the nectar app and saw:

"Come back on Monday 20 November for a special offer from Virgin Trains East Coast."

I wonder if our children will all be going on another journey together

Lidl's dark chocolate with raspberry pieces is gorgeous - unfortunately it's called Grosse or similar which could put people off...

It's nearly time for a stock up on Aldi cherry liqueurs

My mum has just opened her second box of these, she reckons they are one of the nicest she has tried and only £1.99
