    This is possibly a silly question, but I've been awake since 5am and I am tired...:o

    I have got some conditional spend vouchers for Mr T, and want to spend £60 to get the 10p off fuel voucher.
    Do I need to spend £60 + conditional spend amount, or is it £60 of groceries (or ill fitting clothes :cool:) and the conditional spend counts as part of my payment method?

    Am I making any sense :p

    Ended up sending OH to T's with a very descriptive list of instructions.

    He forgot to take the conditional spend voucher, the crisp voucher and a bag for life :mad::o even though the vouchers were on the top of the list and the list was on top of a big bag for life!!

    He did however manage to spend £74 so we now have a full tank of fuel, I just hope he remembered to use the voucher for that!!

    Hi All,


    Can I ask what T vouchers others have been getting?

    SnS

    I had a set of 3, £6 off £40 and 2x £4 off £40.
    The thing that annoys me about these vouchers is the date on them, the £6 off £40 expires on 28th which is before my pay day, so normally I do tend to bin them unless I can do a really well planned shop to get things like cat food that I can't get in Aldi or Lidl.

    This plant is 12 years old.

    Anyone got an older houseplant?:)

    Where are your popaddoms?

    Morning all.
    No sparks £10 for me.
    Probably because I shopped in the sale?
    I won't use my card next time.

    I don't really like poppaddoms. I can't see the point of them:o:rotfl:

    Big crisps:o

    With a curry:o

    :D

    Morning all

    The saga of the dining room clearance goes onwards. As always it is taking six times as long as first estimated.
    I forgot that under the table were numerous bottle bags of Old Mould, Desperadoes and various Bottlegreen and other sprits so I had to excavate the under stairs cupboard again to find a new home for them.
    OH has 17 coats and jackets under the stairs that had to be moved out of the way firstly before I could even get in there.
    But I got everything off the floor and out of corners -and now the table is piled up ready for sorting.

    Then we went out for the dental hygienist appointment fully expecting to be back home by 2 to finish up. Instead after the dentist OH went up to get his blood test at the hospital and then we passed a strange C0-op on the way home so I went to get the divines. Then he wanted oranges from Aldi as he didnt like the satumas I got him the day before ... so it was nearly 4 before we got home :(


    So another day of dining room cleanimg and clearing.

    Once I've checked Marks and Nectar again ...

    oo - interesting one on Nectar - so that makes the drinks 200 points each - OK not as cheap as a Greggs coffee but you can usually get the large drinks worth over £3.
    Its also free wi fi and usefull if you combine with the various 0002 cake offers ...


    New Caffè Nero offer - 1,000 points gets you 5 hot drinks.
    How to get this offer
    Click 'Get voucher code'
    You'll receive a separate email for each code
    Show your voucher code to a barista in-store when ordering your drink
    Voucher codes are valid for use for up to 12 months

    12 days is about my limit with a house plant :rotfl:

    JTS is everything ok? Not liking your new signature.
  • Good morning all, lovely blue sky out there :D

    Two loads of washing out, might dry might not, but will certainly be fresher by the time it comes in :D

    I have a mother-in-law's tongue that must be a good 20 years old. DD has a cutting off it, now her future mother-in-law has one too :D

    I also have a money plant, aka jade plant. it is not old, but it is a cutting off a cutting off a cutting off a cutting off one my mum had that was a cutting off etc one that her step-mum had. I am currently propagating four cuttings off it, trying to persuade them to grow straight and spread nicely so it will grow like some I have seen.
