So ideally you need to be in a city with a Choccy Hotel and a Thorntons shop for the eyes-scream and also a Patty Valerie for your £1 pastry (don't forget to ask for it in a posh box) and then be able to pass a Dominononos on the way home for your peeza :rotfl:
I'm certainly planning on passing the Dominononononononos and Choccy Hotel tomorrow. Sadly my O2 app stopped working and I haven't got round to sorting that out. Is it the case that you need to top it up now? The pastry is tempting but £1 is still more money than free.....and I've still got those stroopwaffles to eat.
I've just checked Shoppmium and there's free sparkling Ribena at selected pubs. It includes Toby's so maybe a good combination with those £10 ICE Mastercard thingies from the other day?0 -

I haven't sorted mine yet either. If you call once every 3 months and the person doesn't answer does that count?braveheart60uk wrote: »Top up £10 and use sim to phone or text at least once every 3 months.I Hate Jobsworths!!!0 -

The shopimum Ribena offer - it needs a picture of your receipt and a picture of the bottle as well - £2.70.
Its Toby Carvery, Vintage and Sizzling pubs - if you go to Q and High Street, register your credit/debit cards and activate, in any of these 3 you get 5% cashback - not enough to set the world on fire but every little bit ...
Then you have a clean receipt for the Ribena paid for separately and
Then you can use your android pay gift cards for the meal“Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove. Every day will allow you, --will invite you to add something to the pleasure of others, --or to diminish something of their pains.”0 -

Yes I can just imagine you hidden away at the back of Neros with your free coffee via your saved up loyalty cards and very discreetly eating your free pastry :rotfl:“Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove.
