D'you know? This shows the difficulty I have, again, when only checking in one store on Monday. The consolation is that I have immediately noticed the one missing Moments-equivalent on checking another store. The TCB offer will probably be off by the time I get them to the list.
Do I have them all now?:rotfl::rotfl:
I've pushed off, for now, tying up some of the Rustlers products as I had difficulty with some of those instore. I thought I had failed to take the BC of one as I was getting full price - eventually ending up with the offer only when having the version scanned in my final store, another store that had both prices showing. However I notice that I did take it, again (I have to do so each time I find the product back on offer as they are on and off the list - I never know when they are off). I have taken the BC after all, so I have done well (except that it seems the product has now been on offer for three weeks already and I've missed it due to everywhere showing me only full price until now:rotfl: - it is absent from the list at the moment so I did need to take the product and the BC and, fortunately, as ever, I have done exactly that:cool:).
EDIT: Just on the above, I notice A Lamb Mince is now 2 for £5.00 so that needs to wait until its final day when it will be better (or else find two on whoopsie much cheaper before then which may be better in the sense of cheaper whoopsie price in the first place even if 2 for £5.00 vs 2 for £5.00 should be 50p rather than 40p overage on each one - sadly the individual price, for final day, has gone down to £2.90 from the straight £3.15 I had it at on my list until now).0 -

Not sure how that happened when I was logged out?
I've not been long in and trying to catch up.
I swear my orders on separate accounts are being confirmed to the same email address.
I'm pleased I'm not the only one in a pickle:rotfl:
Loads of freebies on 2 COS accounts.
Think I'll be using my Sains conditional spend after all tomorrow.

I have had an email from FreedomP - they are ending their free 200mb plan.
I would say it was good while it lasted ... but as they switched on auto top up without my input and took £10 from my account they are not my favourite company
. After complaining they gave me a £10 credit ... so I now have £20 to spend on a sim that was supposed to be free

Yes thanks
I know about them but local one seemed to be mostly walks and board games. I will expand my search to next big town next month when the will start posting their programmes

Talking of airbnb they are currently offering a 356 referral bonus for new hosts, obviously there is nothing to prove that the necessary first booking of the referee's home actually took place to trigger the bonus....
Now this could need more explaining. What is 356? Is that (arrgg!! why is my pound sign not working??) $365?“Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?”

OK, we charge less than most but don't get that many bookings, possibly we are too cheap but we are also extremely picky about who we accept. If we tried harder we could probably earn a fair bit more but it is also about meeting interesting people...and also about the fact that £1 paye gets me 27p after taxes and benefits whereas using rent-a-room £1 airbnb is worth £1.Sunshinemummy wrote: »How long have you been airbnb?
Apart from this booking issue, is it working out?
I got a lovely letter today from BT saying thank you for switching to us 2 months ago and accepting our new customer gifts of £410, now feel free to go elsewhere...I hope none of the elite were not able to see this was inevitable with BT and decide not to go with them after all.....I have had an email from FreedomP - they are ending their free 200mb plan.

So if I refer a friend to hairbb and they then rent out a room for a night as a host then I get £356 to share with said friend and there is no external check that said booking actually involved a real stay and not just a phantom one. Please ask me to delete if not suitable for elite thread.davemorton wrote: »Now this could need more explaining. What is 356? Is that (arrgg!! why is my pound sign not working??) $365?I think....0 -
