Just checked all of my Q accounts - all have 43 items - nothing extra - just the fage yogurts from Waitrose to be got this weekend .

The lucky people who are getting extra freebies - chocolate, Amstrel etc - are any of you Quidco premium?
Just wondering if there was a pattern...

I am premium and even got the email on Wednesday about the chocolate but it is not there.

Potential spoiler of Morocco vs Iran World Cup match if you are watching on catch-up or +1 (yes, I am way too kind giving this).


























































Yes I've got Iran in the sweepstake!:j

(Not that I rate their chances or really enthusiastically like having this country, but they've just scored in the match.)

In other news (not news really), the M list is now up-to-date again in the sense that the expired items should now be removed and it should be up-to-date as far as it goes although there are many new items now to start to be added. It should provide an up-to-date picture of what's still on though which hopefully will be of use to you.

As regards spoilers, I actually saw the Russia match on +1 and knew the final score before the end. I like knowing the result in advance sometimes (or at least decided to do so on this occasion), I know the complete opposite of some people who see that as being "spoiled". I therefore knew it was going to be 5-0 from seeing it on the BBC News website, by choice, when it had actually finished but I was continuing to watch on ITV1+1 - however, when it got near the end on there, I didn't trust the BBC and thought it had got the scoreline wrong so went out of the room to watch my tea but, sure enough, the BBC were actually right and I missed the fourth goal:doh:. (I had already missed the first goal of the Cup live when it happened. No problem with ITV interrupting matches with ads this time - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSdPa7Ty1Fw - instead it's myself that I need to watch out for! I decided to go out of the room at 11 minutes in and put the tea on the first place, only to return and find the only minute I was out of the room, of course that's when they go and score:(! That was what then put me onto +1 in the first place. I'm jinxed - there will be matches of long periods without a goal, I will get bored and go out of the room to attend to something else, and that's when one of the teams will score:doh:!)

Another spoiler warning, this time for Portugal & Spain.
















































They've done it again - I've just left my living room, literally for 10 seconds, again to check on tea - 0-0 when I left and I thought there might be a goal in the very seconds I was away so came back quickly but - already 1-0 when I came back!:rotfl:

You don't need to be able to predict whether there will be goals or not - just need to know when Savvy leaves to go to the toilet:eek::rotfl:!

I've been watching from the start of this new match and watching now - but the few seconds I leave there's the goal! Hang on, I just need to leave to check the tea again now...

Leaving in ten seconds' time - cue goal in 11 seconds from now:rotfl:.

Savvybuyer

Danger, danger, danger - I'm out of the room.

I'm back in now - has there been a goal?:rotfl:

Savvybuyer

Just need to go and grab a coffee from the kitchen..., back soon:rotfl:.

Savvybuyer

Yes I was out of the room again just now:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

evening,
sorry for not being around recently,

I came back from my babysitting duties on Tuesday with tooth ache, this time top back tooth, which 3 years ago had root canal treatment.
had an emergency dental appointment Wednesday morning for a further appointment thursday morning for an extraction:(
Because there was a crack in the tooth dentist thought there may be a problem, 6 injections later...no pain the tooth minus 1 root came out:eek: the remaining root was embedded in bone, but with my consent he would try and remove it otherwise off to hospital...I think I had a further 3 or 4 injections, 45 mins later after using a tray full of forceps the remaining root came out... the dentist was really good I felt a little woozy but DH was there and took me home..
After an hour or so the pain was excruciating, analgesic taken and off I went to bed...there I stayed for the day dozing on and off...
I got up and luckily I had 1 or 2 yogurts in the fridge:D so that was my tea:)
after a restless night still a little soreness and still feeling woozy, but no swelling or bruising we made our way to W for the free yogurts:) so im now sorted for a few weeks...
As I write this I now have very minimal pain, which only occurs when bending, and I feel so much better.
its amazing in 24 hours how quickly the body can start to heal

APG UPDATE- from a couple of weeks ago,
dh rang asda saying that the receipt said wait 3 hours........
this was then 5 days later.... she said sorry for any inconvenience, I see your account is in order I will send you a £5 gc, but we knew the apg should be nearly £11 (granola for shopmum)
Tuesday the £5 gc arrived and on checking the receipt again we then had £10.90 :) so good result
