Elite 11+ shopping and chat thread part 2½

Tinyshoes

My results are in. :rotfl:

1 x 1000, 3 x 500 and 3 x 200

4 lots of £10 petrol and 3 instore shops (2 were just granola for cashback)

Spend AFTER cashback which has already been confirmed was approx. £59 for £31 of points IF I double up.

DD2 wasn't as lucky, she was quite excited her first time of splitting a shop into 3 but she only got 3 x 200. She is going to do petrol over the weekend hope she is luckier then...

Forgot to say my other shop at Sainsbobs included the Fairy platinum and Bold 3 in 1 pods using the SSM coupons. :money:

The petrol station was so busy today and I couldn't stay in the same place to fill up as there were queues. I forgot how to do the 2 lots of £10 each time like the SA told me you could last time.

The car park was even busier with absolutely no parking spaces left :eek: I have never seen it so full, I waited for someone to leave their space and pulled forward signalling left and started to reverse in and someone else started reversing back too. :mad:

I thought they were fighting me for the space. Turns out they just had not noticed me as they were intent on getting a space in front of them that someone else was vacating. Some poor woman was watching both cars and I could see her jaw dropping, by this point I had stopped and just moved myself forward so as not to get bumped. :cool:

There's someone who works in our upstairs office who I don't see very often but I say morning to now and then when I see him. He, and I, have been working in the same building for years

I went into work this morning without my pass and was waiting to be "pinged" in by reception.
This man happened to walk up to the door and open it with his pass before reception could let me in.

I was walking in behind him as I assumed he knew me when he declared that he couldn't let me in as he'd never seen me before.

Security:eek: No tailgating policy:eek:

Honestly:rotfl:

I'm hopefully going to drag Mr TS with his van, he is not amused. :rotfl:

DD3 had already filled up last week, and only driven 50 miles since so I don't think she would even fit another £10 in.

Debs gift card worked for me last time spitting out a voucher but I don't think I could get my previous points voucher added on. But I think that might be to do with some daily limit, I think Anon mentioned before. I'm trying to remember...

My results from Swipe and win
1x2000 2x1000 3x 500 3x 200

we got 4 £10 lots of fuel plus needed some wine for curling prizes

food shopping mostly got things that were on special offer, yogurts,Vimto Aunt Bessie chips,Pataks curry sauce, special k, some magazines and a few own brand things in 4 x£10 shops. Wish I had known about the gift cards.

Lady in front of me spent £81 :eek:don't think she even had a nectar card

I know - it's how people generally are. It's irrational when you think about it isn't it really?

Hehe:rotfl:

I then ended up apologising to him for trying to sneak in behind him :rotfl:

While the door slammed in my face!

There were very few people putting only £10 in their cars all the time I was on the forecourt.

You would have thought by now that they'd have sussed it out

Me too, came on here really pleased with myself with 1 x 2000, 1 x 1000, 2 x 500 + 1 x 200!

First time round had a really jolly attendant in the filling station, wishing me luck, that's when I got 200. I said it's ok i'll be back in a minute, went in to pay he said 'you've just missed it, that chap just got 5000' :mad:

Still I'm happy with what I got and I struggle to spend points at Sainsbugs, even in the double up.

Same here, except for the 2 granola shops I really struggled to get another £10 shopping together.

But I'm happy I got enough to double up and get myself a new frying pan. I got a hard anodised set in there years ago, 70% off but the frying pan is past it's best. Shame they have changed the shape of handles though so it won't actually match the rest of the set anymore.
