Elite 11+ shopping and chat thread part 2½

If you have the Caf! Nero app firstly do the latest update.
The email that just arrived from them says you can swipe left but for me its just the 3rd tile along on the home page. That gives a special code you can share via FB, twitter, instagram, email or messanger
In my case I could not share via FB - my phone objects as I don't have FB on my phone.

I cant quite figure this out so I might message them to clear the confusion as the email I got says different to the app - but both the giver and the receiver should get a tile for a free iced drink - possibly the receiver has to make a purchase first

We are not allowed to share so I have put a message on the refers board - redfox tell me if I am doing wrong!

I got instantly accepted for my account, but DH had to go into branch with ID. It was my fault really as when doing his online application it asked two questions to prove his ID, and I did not recognise the end 4 digits to one of his bank accounts ...he has a few :rotfl:
Made appointment and he was in and out in 15 minutes, switch all set up too...so not too bad.
Neither of us have ever had anything to do with Barclays before.

We didn't even get to that stage to confirm other accounts - perhaps the credit check system was offline.

Annoying as there is no reason to reject and our local branch closed years ago, so it would be a trek to call in for me and Mrs Anon

Hello mhoc and sorry it's not possible to fit smart meters at the moment. There are a number of properties similar to yours where the existing meter positions are particularly challenging. As well as the improvements I mentioned to tweets above, we're also working on overcoming these difficulties so all our customers have the option of smart meters without the need to pay for any equipment to be re-located. I don't have a timeframe yet but we need to be able to offer you something by the end of 2020 so we meet the current rules.

Sorry again we can't help right now mhoc. We'll be in touch once we've sorted a solution. Don't worry, these meters are optional and you can refuse any offer if you believe it isn't suitable.

If I am still living here in 2020 I could be your poster girl - phase 2 smart meter to replace a possibly nearly 25 year old meter, so last century, replaced in a difficult position with no cost, annoyance or inconvenience to the customer!

Tweets, so glad to hear about the care home. My Mum hasn't looked back since she went into hers and is so happy. I hope it works out that way for you.

Just seen this on hotdeals
£7 for 3 Tesco British Whole Medium Chicken 1.3-1.5Kg, Any 3 for 2 Cheapest Product Free

Oh no! I am trying to run down the spare freezer in the garage which was replaced with a good one and which is only there because of all the free pizza and excellent Christmas whoopsies. Maybe I shall have to joint the chickens before freezing but I'm determined to shut down that freezer before I go on holiday!

(The offer seems to be until 17 July by the way if I understand their website correctly.)

Picasso I don't want to pry but have you been to see your GP? A change in how you feel could be your body telling you something isn't right. It could be worth a few blood tests just to make sure all your levels are ok, you could be anaemic or need some vitamins etc, not worth ignoring if you don't know what's making you so tired.

You are both lovely. Thank you so much. I have just been trotting too hard. In the last two months I've had a London trip, sometimes overnight, every week and more, organised two parties, driven to Hertfordshire and back twice, quite apart from other stuff. Poor Mum has only been visited at the weekend and this week is the first where I'm not going anywhere, though that is because I cried off a London meeting. I'm just ready for my holiday. Di, you are not being intrusive at all, by the way, and if the holiday doesn't pick me up, I shall certainly take your advice. I've a clear weekend coming up (apart from visiting Mum) and then I'm off work for three weeks during which I have a 16-day holiday in Spain, so I'm expecting to be all bright and bushy tailed after that.

I went for a leisurely shop last night for the first time for ages so things are looking up. I was searching for a large white handbag and didn't find anything I wanted (now I remember why making bags is a good plan), though I did get a blue and white striped bag in M&S. I got a cool cotton dress too, which I had been intending to return, but it's OK. I got £20 off with two Sparks offers, used a credit note, two loyalty vouchers (I have an M&S credit card) and some birthday money. It brought the total down dramatically. I'd been intending to use my ICE points (from Martin's recent email) but didn't realise that they only work in M&S if you click and collect. Oh well... Will have to use them some other time.

That's the aim mhoc. More than happy to put you forward as our poster girl :cool: although, from what you say, I suspect it's likely to be nearer to 2020 before we've an acceptable solution for you.

We're trialling phase 2 smart meters (SMETS2) now so should be well placed to let you have them once we've solved your siting issue.

Watch this space as they say.

DW and I both had to confirm if in branch for switch despite answering the experian as correctly. Got to branch and told we should have booked an appointment, eventually got seen after lots of waiting and it took ages, no idea why.
