I cant be harrised with espresso machines on a morning, used to have a Gaggia classic, but there is no way my mind can function one of those on a morning, and as for instant, yuk! Lol, love how he goes from one extreme (lovely coffee) to the other (instant hot dark water).

I am a instant kind of gal.... two spoons of a good instant in one cup.... bliss!

I dont know why they dont just use a filter machine. If it wasnt for my posh grind machine, I would use a filter machine on a morning. I use a tassimo during the day, but when I am loading up, it would be a filter machine all the way.

just tell them to get a waitrose card :rotfl:

Found the toms in world food not with tinned toms which was a relief as there were still no toilet rolls of either type and the only tuna (oil) scanned at 4 quid - at the tills as the hand scanners were out of order.

How quick did the amex sdrug go? I thought I got on quite quickly but none on any of our cards.

You just reminded me that I hadn't loaded to my card and they are all still there SD, Wilco and WH Smith.:T:T

Just thinking that I have a 25% off card for WHSmiths to use this month:)

I am convinced that yesterday OH had the WHSmith Amex offer on his card. I had problems using the card today so I went onto the account to get the pin and to make sure the card wasnt blocked.
There is no sign of the offer, not even on the saved offfers list.
Tommorow I will figure out what has happened.

Also I was in Wilkos and I forgot to check if stores sell gift cards - I suspect that they do or at least itunes ones

Be really interested if anyone can report success in multiple stores/over a couple of days with getting more than 100 of points doubled up. Ta.

Camelx3 really useful for checking prices not just for Amazon but to give an idea of 'what something actually costs' if it come sup on 'special anywhere.

Have been again earlier and got another £200 of vouchers from the same store with the same card .

Just to note, that although you can get £200 of goods overall from one category, you can apparently only use one voucher per transaction (so £50 max), not all four £50 vouchers against one item (£200). I don't know if this is the interpretation of the member of staff I spoke to yesterday or whether it is true and will be enforced by the till?


Edit - I see others have been given this message too.

I had considered that, but think I will go for one that takes nespresso pods, lidl sell ones that fit. Thats if I can not get hold of a lidl machine, as they are meant to be quite good.

Do W1lko sell Love2Shop? They obviously sell their own which should be fine for Am3x.
