For those that haven't partaken in cos nivea cashback, you will now be 50p better off. Nivea reduced to £5 and cashback £5.50. On dh receipt it came out as facial mist but they still processed receipt. Also the picture is of a different nivea than on the cos list but both worked.:)

The correct ones are £10.95 so you're at the mercy of COS as to whether they pay or not. Worth a punt but as some will probably slip through, but others may not as history tells us.

On a different note, yesterday I puchased 12 x bottles of wine and a yoghurt, nothing else. Claimed for the yoghurt only on COS, yet they also awarded £2 for Nivea moisturiser for men :T

Managed to persuade my sister to sign up for android pay and she used it first time this morning , when getting the tube to work. She just got a draw. Shes not impressed lol. Told her about using it up to 10 times a day, getting small items. She cant be bothered

If I'm out I will use it, even splitting shops to get extra.. draws!! But, I asked at our local shop if I could use contactless and was told well, sort or yes, but it costs me money. Given that shop only reopened months ago, after being without one for 2 years, I'm not going to push it!

Afternoon gang
long term lurker checking in, so sorry for the losses, be comforted by your memories .
I have really fallen off the wagon as dont seem to do any of the apps and things on here - never mind.
I have just been confirmed as having shingles so I'm grounded but the worrying thing is that it is hurting my rib so badly, like a massive stitch. Doc says its the nerves there, they are being damaged by the virus grrr .
Hubby is having a second op next week so its all fun here and work is "reviewing" me - don't like the sound of that either.
Never mind, hope you all keep posting, just so me and my fellow lurkers have a little sunshine during the day - take care xxxxxx

Wendy, you never were a lurker!!
Shingles is a horror, I guess it is due to the stress..

Hope all goes well for your dear hubby, and don't worry about the 'review'.

Sending positive thoughts
Pip

You can take it in suitcase (100 ml limit in hand luggage) and I think you are ok with duty free. The cost in duty free is beyond my means so will buy in sada and pack carefully.:):)

Cost might not be too bad in duty free, given you will be 'duty free' as you are travelling outside Europe!
Went to Boston earlier this year 2 x 1litre bottles of sminoff ... £18... duty free.

Oh Mrs.. please get it checked out,, I had it, but fortunately diagnosed early so the meds kicked in and only 'sufferered' for a few days.
