I struggle to use up £50's worth of Nectar points, but I tend to 'check out'most things asap, just in case!

My BF, who I have converted to more savvy money saving in the last 9 months, is leaving everything she earns in the various accounts for Christmas. I totally understand that, but choose not to risk it.

Getting my nectar points level too high worried me. When OHs got too high I bought a lawn mower with it from Argos.

Now my points also need to be used but there is nothing I can think of. Maybe a dashcam for the car but I don't know much about these ...

Sadly I haven't had this offer.
Just as well really, I've only managed to lose 1 lb in 6 weeks, I need to live with aau1.

You sure? My wife gets just a wee bit annoyed at how quickly i can lose weight compared to her

I've lost 48lbs now! :eek: But going on holiday on thursday for 10 days might put a few of those back on.

At least i got my kilt on comfortably for the first of this summers weddings last night. That was the target

I picked up someone's receipt yesterday in a S trolley. They had £120 worth of points, similar to mine, I think a lot save them for Christmas.

I was hoping for a double up?

thats about my average weight loss as well - takes six weeks to loose one pound. Ive just had to resign myself to this. But in spite of this very depressing slow loss I am still down 14lbs from my very worse weight and I can honestly say I am a 14 in most things except some shirts and tops. Still very top heavy.
I have about 6 underbed boxes with stored summer clothes - many have not been out for years as we have had only very short summers. Its been interesting though getting things out to try as quite a few old favourites now fit again!

Don't forget you can spend them on Ebay too.

I am thinking of spending them on fuel.
Unless there's a better offer than 500 points for £2.50?
Any advice welcome please?
