Morning all. :wave:

Only virgin ones have tracked for me. Still waiting for LNER :eek:

My base points for LNER have now turned up - but not Virgin. There is hope yet !

Morning all
Sorry to ‘hear’ the news about your mum Tweets.

I am too late to double up points at Sainsbury’s? Family have finally got their act together and need to buy a microwave for the Outlaws Christmas pressie

No, you are not too late - it is on until S close tomorrow (but don't leave it too late as you need to spend tomorrow or you lose the voucher).

You get the vouchers from CS and spend at any till.

Definitely - as in a month or so if the bonus hasn't automatically applied, querying it on FB messenger seems to get a quick resolution .

Well done - now just sit tight until the GWR details have been finalised and that should be another 2000 per account D.

Was it you who wanted the pork scratchings advent calendrers from jl that ts mentioned and I also got?
I noticed in s under seasonal they have them £12 ...I think they are the same but it wasn't until the middle of the night whilst cuddling a crying chicken pox boy that I thought of them.

Eeeeeeeee found a 10 pack of birdies. Found label for 36p but these were on top shelf. Check code it was right. Took photo. Bought. Went through at £2.50 each. Went to CS and after having to ask got 42.80 back on my card. Also got cheese at lidl and daily fail.

when going to cs at s to get my du, she looked in my trolley and said it wont work on sweets...I said they were on seasonal, she then produced a pamphlet stating 'not valid on foods'
oh well I said I had 2 £7.50 quality street the other day. she then continued to say well it shouldn't take it off
At the till as well as telephones, sheet and a couple of mops the rest was from seasonal- 4 little bottles mixed fizz -expensive for what they are but at £2.50 after double up ideal, terry orange, =50p after du, tub of twigletes=£1 small pkts of gingerbread shaped shortbread=63p after du, so jobsworth was wrong I paid 9p cash

Morning

Gave up trying to sleep so got taxi to Tesco and looked high low and up in rafters and no Robins but found the 4p socks and speedy Gonzalez got them through SS quick quick. Got tv mag first so I could hide socks under it only excepting find 1 pair but I found 12 Paid with tenner because my maths is bad under normal circumstances so no chance this morning . I then folded my bag with socks up and went doing my other shopping and found these poor babies yellow stickered needing a good home. If plant in pot doesn't make it I like the vase for 60p Poinsettia's 45p each. Did rest of shopping then taxi home

Morning Tweets - great spot with the socks, 4p each and 3 for 2!and those plants will probably do well with some TLC.

Take it easy today.

For some reason our Sains has done away with customer service desk and you can only get your vouchers at the manned tills.

Long queues but many of the SAs are putting people's shopping through to see how much it is for them, then voiding the shop, doing the vouchers and then putting it through again. It also seems to take them an age to work out how to print the vouchers.
