  • Good morning all, cloudy but mild here.

    As for the APG, I rarely used it due to the 4 mile bike ride each way, my knees are not what they used to be, but I did get the odd womble.

    I look forward to different ways of saving money.

    Nothing on the Q game, apart from draws which are irrelevant to me anyway.

    Good morning all

    Thanks again Di I have ordered white this time This is DH's Christmas budget same as the chocolates yesterday Normally around £200 but will be higher this year He does not advertise his work but gives a bottle/ sweets to bigger customers and silly sized hampers to some suppliers All are gifted with his business card

    One year the suppliers got a lot of the almost free cobra, plus sweets, biscuits, pot noodles , cuppa soups etc These were all good glitches and standards now have to be maintained :rotfl:

    My first gliche was Jaffa cakes Some worked but the second shop did not as it had been fixed but it was a learning curve

    I will add my thanks to izzeyb and the other N1LDA plus all the other checkers and posters and recall the good times with Flo Flo and SFSB plus others I was thinking of Squiggs? when I was looking at a break in Lytham St Annes

    I am sure I saw SFSB when I was on my cruise. It is hard to unimagine his avatar

    Marks sparks offer have updated - mine are all the usual 20% off various clothing.

    OH though has his
    £2 wys £10 on food
    30% clothing, beauty and homeware

    which might be useful for doing the TCB offer today

    I've got £2 off a £15 spend on food

    Marks sale is at 70% so it might be worth a rummage through

    Good morning Shipmates :wave:

    Good luck with the move Bubbs :A

    I'm having an X-ray on my knee today - been giving me trouble ever since I dug the garden pond :(

    I'm making Pork rillettes today - nearly typed rissoles, now there's a blast from the past :)

    Good for a spending spree,
    Getting some things for free,
    It was easy as I,2,3
    Or even A,B,C,
    Once you found the key.

    Whatever your sexuality,
    Prefer coffee or tea,
    Prosecco or a Chablis
    Mature Cheddar or Brie,
    Any Butter or ghee,

    I am also thinking that as we are in this lull and also trying to avoid leaving the house and spending then a revival of the fabulous list of apps from a previous month might be worth a visit. Did anyone save this list for future reference?

    And a rummage though the loyalty cards in our wallets to make sure all of our details are up to date

    Boots advantage card - have you registered your upcoming babies? I think you get offers in the months leading up to and for about 6 months after the baby is born

    Morrison's - are you part of the baby club?

    Waitrose - have we ticked all of the correct boxes on our accounts

    Holland and Barret - new loyalty cards get bonus points

    Nationwide have simply offers, First Direct also have a visa offers, Halifax have a rewards page and at least another of the bank does similar - have we activated the offers recently

    Quidco - the High Street offers need reactivating every 28 days and have we checked to see all of our current debit/credit cards are listed.
