Morning all!


We're off to Scotland to go camping for two weeks later today :-). Well, we've got to work today but then we're driving up to Warrington to stay in a Premier Inn, tonight, then driving the rest of the way tomorrow. It's a long drive from Devon!


The car is absolutely rammed despite the fact there's only two of us. It doesn't help that we've packed THREE tents. We bought a massive Outwell tent from Gumtree secondhand a couple of weeks ago. Our garden isn't big enough to put it up so although we're fairly sure everything is there, we haven't actually seen it up. So we're taking our old, worn out tent just in case. Then we're also planning on spending a couple of nights in bothies (old, stone buildings in the middle of nowhere with no running water, electricity, toilets etc) so we want to take our tiny backpacking tent just in case we turn up to a bothy and it's already full.

I've got an APG to use up from the UHT milk so I need to swing by A's on the way to Scotland. I was thinking of buying some wine so hopefully I'll be able to slot a few bottles around our tent collection. I just need to work out which ones work vs which shop and write myself a proper list.


I've also filled a huge plastic box full of tins and packets which I've got from glitches or cashback etc. We won't have to buy any food at all for the 2 weeks that we're camping if we don't want to, but it still doesn't seem to have dented our stocks much.

I seem to think that there is an Asda in Warrington close to Ikea ...

Avoid Ikea - you cant get anything else in the car!

That is scary, sorry to hear that. I am still sitting on over £500 worth so would be mortified if they were taken.

Hopefully they will be replaced quickly.

That happened with a lot of Tesco Clubcards a few years ago. Might be worth people changing passwords 🤔

Loads of packs of lightbulbs reduced to 20p in S today. Not going through the till in my store though but staff are honouring the prices

Sorry to hear it, hope nectar will replace your points!
how can it go into negative balance though? is it because they were done on the same day i.e. balance doesn't automatically update when you spend points?
horrible people :mad:

Any stores that you shopped in within the last 12 months get an update once per day from nectar of your total available points balance. That store then updates your points balance internally as you spend/earn any points during the day and transmits your adjustments back to nectar once per day

It means you could spend all your points several times over so long as you are spending in stores that are active on your account

I've never fancied a cruise as I don't have sea legs at all but that could be one way of trying, after all its not too far is it, thanks for that I'll have a look later.

Sorry I thought you were having another appointment today to tell you whether you could have the reconstruction at the same time, I think this is a very good option if they say yes. Only one anaesthetic and only one lot of recovery.
So pleased for you that its stage one too :T

No Im waiting for appt for that one. Said it should be about a week or 2. Hope the waiting doesnt make things worse
