    Good morning.

    Gocat and JTS I hope you are both as comfortable as can be and have good nurses looking after you.

    I've got to go for more treatment today so I'm hoping there will be a few toilet rolls en route.

    Bubbs I hope you enjoyed your birthday and hope the move is nearly complete.

    Morning all :wave:

    I think they'll have the results of that this Thursday go cat. Surgeon appointment will be to check the wound etc, I could be wrong but I think that's how it will be. So pleased you're well.

    Thanks for this.

    There was a report over on the dark side that you can use this offer multiple times on the same PP account. i.e. create a new esso account but use the same PP account. Is that how you're managing to get so many £10ish fills?

    I can confirm you cannot use the same PayPal on a different esso account.

    Last time my sainsbobs double up returns were put on Mr s gift card rather than credit card and I extracted the money with 8% loss buying visa gift cards and paying them into my gas account. Loss is always sad but as it is doubled up value I thought it was OK. Have also extracted in the past using new release computer games where cex give same cash trade in as sainsbobs charges.

    Netball to watch in the drizzle this am and then everyone is back to school and work tomorrow :eek:

    An 8% charge seems quite a loss?

    If I recall from discussions last year where people had bought the wrong item in their eagerness to spend points, S refunds are mainly processed onto the payment type used, unless the item was solely paid for with points, in which case it was offered on a Refund card. Items that involved some element of cash or credit card in many cases were completely refunded in that way. It sometimes did seem to depend on the CS/store though.

    It should be easier to buy what you actually want/need this year given you can get up to £200 (4 x £50) and spend across categories (so for example £190 for one item and £10 for another from a different category, rather than having to use one voucher in one category).

    Daddy, why are you crying?
    Over something so long ago,
    Those men that lay there dying,
    Why did they have to go?

    My Son, I love you dearly,
    I feel a shiver down my spine,
    I can imagine the horror clearly,
    That followed the exploding mine.

    The whistles then were sounding,
    The Order to go over the top,
    Thousands of young hearts pounding,
    Soon shot, and bled to a stop.

    Not much older than you my Son,
    They gave their lives and more,
    Whether it was by bomb or gun,
    It was the fault of Man at War.
