    Just wondering if anyone has had any experience in using their accumulated Costalot points?

    After we got our free coffees last week I had a look at the sandwich fridge and there was a toastie with a red half price sticker. So after a long wait in the queue I handed over my toastie and said I wanted to pay with points (I have nearly 400 points now)
    The assistant said I couldn't use them for reduced items :mad: so it went back into the fridge.

    I had a look at the terms and conditions page but I couldn't find anything about what things you can and cant buy with your points.

    You're right! I missed the crucial '.com'.


    At lunch time today I used a screenshot of a voucher I saw on FB for a free hot drink and a cake at Pausa in Dunelm Mill. Myself and my husband just showed copies of the same voucher, and the woman at the till just scanned a paper copy she had behind the till. The voucher is valid until the 15th June. I can try and work out how to put it on here if it'll be of any use to anyone.

    was it on thedarkside???
    We have quite a big Dunelm mill but it has no caf! :(

    It was on a FB group called '10 ways to save money' or something similar, normally just '10ways'.


    Ah that's annoying! I was amazed that it worked, but I had a lurrverrly hot choc and toffee cheesecake. :D


    I thought some of the elite here could make good use of it too.

    PS if anyone wants to search for it themselves it was posted on their group on June 6th. I can't believe it took me this long to actually use it :eek:.

    I was hoping that there was a bigger Dunelm near to a bigger Mr T so I can go in search of cashback items but sadly not to be ...

    oo just had a thought .... Wrexham ....

    :o


    I'm in bed.
    Very large hard swollen painful bite behind my knee, covered in blisters & dripping fluid

    Took myself to minor injuries as I couldn't bend my knee this morning.
    And was told off for not knowing you should take antihistamines with a bite :o:o:o & basically stop wasting her time :o

    But... if it becomes infected to come back :rotfl:



    So I'm very drowsy with a crusty leg :o

    So, out of the three bites you had one managed to become about the size of 50 :eek:

    I really do feel for you, hope fourp is looking after you (have to admit I have my doubts).

    Did i read you were in Salou? I have had some horrendous reactions to bites there (no where else - just there!!)


    I think there are some different types of mozzies there - Tiger mosquito's maybe? And they are much worse that normal ones.


    I go there for work every year and have ended up on antibiotics (and with cellulitis on a few occasions)


    Keep an eye on it and go back if it gets any worse!
