    My decking was going white at 5:eek:
    Had to scrape the car this evening :eek: Our main use car lives in the garage and we drive out waving to the neighbours as they scrape but tonight I had to pick up 5 kiddies so it was the outside car.

    They also have become difficult with out of date vouchers.

    The only way to extend I can think of is to exchange for days out vouchers and then send them back with an excuse. But it's a pain and you risk them turning down your request or at least noting it on your record. I already have one leniency on expired vouchers being reissued noted on my file. I also think the value of the vouchers drops over time, so might as well use them up now.

    OH has an active hotels.com account, so I'm hoping I can redeem my vouchers to his account.
    What annoys me is that they just disappear when they expire so you don't even know how much you have wasted.
    I think....

    bird food now so not a total waste

    This is one of the reaons I've been decluttering, downsizing and re organising - so I have what I can use and pass along the excess bits :D

    I haven't done a declutter, downsize and reorganise of the food stuff since we renovated the kitchen. I am quite good at leaving things on the shelf now but back then...:o

    Even the chocolate cupboard in the sideboard is almost empty. :eek:

    Trouble is put a shelf of shampoo or hair dye in front of me and well my I have no won't power. :rotfl:

    A few miles makes all the difference - no frost here!

    Not if you keep them in the file marked 'vouchers'.;)

    Morning all! Fell asleep on the sofa for an hour last night then had a rubbish night's sleep once I actually went to bed and then woke up at 5am. Such fun! :rotfl:

    I head Kevin and Katie sold out within half an hour of the store opening locally but I notice some generous souls are selling them on eBay for around £600 if you're desperate, and one is asking £15000 for the pair!! :mad::eek::rotfl:


    Whole cage full in my local, got a couple of pairs...may go back the morrow and get some more ;)

    We always redemem them online so the paper vouchers don't mean nuffink. Somehow DW and I aswell as having cards that both collect to the same account also have a third cars on its own (I think this might have been fromt he days when they aent out loads of conditional spend coupons) so it is very hard to keep track of couchers, I suspect we have lost a fair bit but who knows?
    I think....

    I have one (older version) and it is fine - you can add Android apps on it and haven’t been bothered by the adverts.

    HTH

    Thank you. I am very tempted! Will it do that Android pay thing too?

    Going to bed now - I hope that’s not considered rude after asking a question?

    Night all.

    I've just been to M and they were totally out of these and the 24 loo rolls for £5 and the soap powder (though that wasn't so much of a bargain). I ended up buying two litres of Bombay Sapphire which will last me for a while now and then another £10 of bits I needed or had vouchers for (soup and Princes tangerines – the tangerines gave me overage as they were 2 for £1.60 and the vouchers scanned at £1). I got the 10p a litre off fuel voucher (though had a sense that the prices were not the cheapest) and my account is telling me that I earned enough More points for £5 which was an offer in an email which I activated. So I'm pleased with my shop despite their not having loo rolls and tea.

    I'd looked at the Prosecco offer but they have a better one at A, assuming that the quality is comparable, £25 for 6 bottles. Does anyone know if that compares to anything please? I rather fancy getting a further 10% off if that doesn't mess up a shop.

    Of course, checking one store tells you that they have absolutely none of these at any store in the country:rotfl:. I suspect they still have it in some stores. You mean "I've just been to one M and the one store I visited was totally out of these".
