Yes Amex Gold - sorry, it is currently 20k plus 2k from spending, not 22+2 (I must have got carried away spending to hit 24k :eek:). First year is free but the annual fee is £140 :eek:.

You link your Nectar from within Membership Rewards and transfer - they say it can take up to 4 working days so it is just a case of stopping spending in month 11 then transfer (you can transfer more than once, so you could just transfer at each statement if you wanted).

If you are referred the referrer gets 9k - so once I was up and running after being referred by a friend, I referred Mrs Anon and plan to cancel mine, take a 6 month holiday then be referred back by Mrs Anon. Cancel hers, then flip every 6 months . You are classed as a new customer eligible for the joining offer after 6 months .

I have mistimed on this occasion and will pay a fee for this month (apparently they refund/charge prorata) but had SD, W1lko, Am4zon and other good offers (plus ShopM coming up) so will cancel at the end of December.

Morning :hello:

Had first good nights sleep since I don't know went bed straight after Jungle

Poppy woke me just gone 4am for toilet so waitied for her to come in and went back bed next time I looked going up to 8am.

Rang doctors receptionist enquiring about a sick note I get 5 days off compassionate leave so need one for Friday .I am 60 and 3/4 years young and worked all my life and don't think I have never needed a sick note before :eek:

Receptionist said I would have to see doctor :mad: well that set me off on my crying shaking and getting angry all same time mode. I told receptionist I wasn't in right frame of mine to see either her or him and explained about her not wanting visiting mum Friday before she past. :mad:

So don't know yet but mum most probably need a post Morton leaving that , Mortem Morten Mortan Mortum whatever way you spell it gave up.

So receptionist asked would I like to see nurse I said yes as long as doctor didn't enter room to see me.

So going seeing nurse 4-30pm Thursday should have death certificate then .

Nothing planned today so hopefully can rest with our Poppy :A

Bck fencing should be done today , all up side front type fencing was told yesterday that's today if that's get done. All needs doing is cracked panes 2 now in windows and brickwork sorting outside under windows new iron front gate and paths jet washing . Then council and their partners can shoo and neighbour next door can do all patching up outside so I am

Sorry for long post had to write it while I could see eyes keep leaking then everything looks blurry

So glad you keep coming here tweets, you need an outlet, you can say anything you want here and no-one will judge you. As for your eyes leaking, well, that is far better than them not leaking, you love your mum, death does not stop that. It gradually gets easier but that hole in the heart never entirely heals, things still catch me out even now and my mum went nearly 37 years ago.

Sounds like you might have a busy day today, at least you can do what you want when you want, take it easy xx

Anyone want to join me? I'll be raising a glass to Mad Muppet at 8 o'clock tonight. The old-timers will remember him. Doesn't seem possible that it is five years.

Wasn't around yesterday but thanks for the reminder MKS.
He was such a character. Loved his tales of his supermarket and bike trips. And that song he recorded :eek: Much missed :A

Oh tweets, I know what your going through. Please look after yourself.

I am in the process of sorting all my dads paperwork out, have rang all pensions, life assurance, mortgage etc.

Have had to get birth certificates for myself and my brothers, as they wanting originals, and we have no idea where to look for them, so easier paying £12 to have new ones sent out.

Funeral is booked for 29 November.

Some family members really make life difficult, we have said no children at crematorium as we dont think its fair for little ones to go. Well some are really playing their faces at it. I think its hard enough for adults to cope with a cremation never mind young ones.

We have said we will have a little talk at home with the little ones and let some ballons off in the garden, to send grandad off.

There seems to be a lot of making it up as they go along. Allegedly a floor supervisor in one store decided that customers were 'scamming' Sainsburies by doubling up and returning last year and this year sent an internal email to all other stores telling them to be vigilant for such scamming.

As noted above T&C only say standard returns policy applies and nectar are pretty sure that it is a full cash refund....

I have 9 £200 returns to do (all purchased with balance on non-cashback credit card for obvious reasons), wish me luck!

I wouldn't call that an alleged scam, I'd call it an out and out scam.


these sort of practices will bring an early demise to a very good offer.
