    Thanks to everyone on here for the Sainsbobs double up comments. It's amazingly the first time I've done swipe and win and double up. I've turned £1.36 a few weeks ago into £60:T. So just kitted my self out with new boots and jumpers (I shall leave the tags on till next week just in case they are ill fitting) lol.
    I even wombled a 1000 swipe and win last week on Blackpool front.:)
    Speaking of which I was there today and they were filming corrie on the central pier. I was chatting to a lady who was watching but doesn't watch corrie, all of a sudden I shrieked in a high pitched voice 'oh look there's Mary'. Embarrasing....silly moo....it's not real you know. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Ps Roy Cropper was there as well in his little car so watch out for that in a few weeks. :)
    Sorry if this is a silly question for swipe and win, do I have to buy every day at S. thanks

    Swipe and win has finished now. It was only on for 3 days and you were given a voucher every time you spent £10 with your nectar card so every thing was broken into £10 spends inc fuel. This week has been a double up of points.

    The jeans in m&s are a nice feel, £35, only the size 8 is a bit baggy on the bum for me,I am totally a+#3less, lol, but they are a smart jean, I always wore next but their prices are:eek:

    Lovely, my kind of view. Where is this?
  • Reading the discussion on jeans, I was excited when I found some that fitted perfectly in Sains, but a couple of pairs later they had changed them :(

    Now tend to get them from M&S, preferably when the £5 off comes on Sparks. The £15 ones are fine.
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    That's when I buy, £5 off, was thinking I might try the £15 pair next time, I do like a dark indigo though 🙂
