I thought someone had put just our washer on without telling me.

Park run completed last week in preparation for this Sunday's Tough Mudder. MIND have sent them their running vests. :T

Thanks to everyone who has donated so far xx It would really boost their confidence if could get them well over their target. :cool:

Hey...that's not being cheeky......it's for a very good cause:T

Now don't you be doing too much at the manor.....remember your hands:o

Bit confused by your question.

I opt for annual interest with Virgin Money - because you can effectively earn 4.5% (now 5%) if you withdraw the money the evening before the account matures. It's a well known 'glitch' and boy do I love a glitch. :rotfl:

I guess the only risk with this is they fix it before new accounts opened now to take advantage reach maturity...

Have been doing this for years, occasionally get referred but always been accepted. Longer post on this this evening.

Don't forget that if you are late canxing your card they will refund the fee prorata anyway.

So we do a shuffle, DW and I referring each other for golds and platinum cashbacks( not quite as good as you need the account open for 12 months before you get the payout so you can only do one every 12 months). However you could also do nectar ones which for the last two years have had a massive sign up bonus from Nectar starting about October/November time where you get £150 or even 200 worth of points instead of the standard 100. I am looking out for it now.

re: rakuten

Folks on HUKD say the campaign is seemingly over but also that purchases have been removed from their rakuten library!

ETA: there are also reports that points totals have been wiped

I am no longer annoyed that despite filling in the form 5 times I never received an email....

Happy belated birthday to a lovely lady:D

Evening peeps.

So, in 4 days it will be Frotober. I've decided that I will be giving up drinking alcohol. If I can do this for a month, then I can do it for ever how long!! I wont be able to afford it after the APG's stop anyway!

Next thing is smoking, but I get my baccy so cheap, It's gonna be hard.

As long as my babies are ok, We'll be fine.

Stupid question - how visible is it and should anyone on here be able to see it?

Thank you

I've lost my Rakuten points too. I'll just have to catch up with Bake Off instead!

afternoon all! hope youre all ok

not been around much as had a bit of an op last thursday and its only today ive really felt well enough to go out. off work until next week though.

got the pork, got one in Leigh and one in Atherton, could have had two there but there was more fat than meat on it, even for £2.50 so i put that one back in the fridge but the butcher saw me and re collected it. oops.

got the free veggie stuff from sainsbobs, got some other Smum stuff and picked up my free donut from gweggs for my bday, missed out on my welcome drink though, never mind.

got 10% back on my takeaway last night too. Oh and did the popcorn code thing so can watch a film later.

off to eat my donut. xxx

The pork I cooked at the weekend was nearly one third fat. I was so excited to find it that I didn't really get a good look at it. No wonder it was still available to buy:o
