I often give people time frames like that, CD, I HATE it when they take a week to reply then assume I've kept the whole day for their 15 minutes

That's definitely good practice.  Delivery people can be as bad, mind you - JL do that round here, give 12 hour delivery slots.  Argh!

Indeed - at least round here they'll just leave parcels whether we're here or not. I left the builders a key once we'd got to know them, but I don't trust this lot not to botch it if we're not here!

Hope your anxiety improves. As EH and others have said the last couple of years have been demanding

Not surprised that you feel anxious.
One way & another it has been some two years.
Please take of you xxx

Thank you all xx

So. Supermarket shop done, £67, and paid for all of it in vouchers 😁 Hoping we can get away with just spending another £100 or so extra over the month (or using more vouchers) - we'll see. Still got a hefty storecupboard of pasta, rice, beans etc to munch through.

Found out today we've got £41 worth of Boots points 😮 Mostly because we bought the fridge and hob from Boots online 😂 Couldn't use them today - we were replacing a broken electrical device but it cost more than that 🙄 did get another £2 worth of points in the meantime though.

I have no idea what's on my Boots card (I keep it mainly for when my Mum visits), in fact I can't remember when I last spent in there, it must be over two years. And I was a Boots Saturday girl (gents-electrical, I know more than I care to admit about Remington shavers and can't be in the vicinity of anyone wearing Paco Rabanne or YSL Farenheight, if they are still even a thing)!

Lovely find on the loyalty card. I have about £8 on mine I keep forgetting about too

I was very MSE with mine, I knew I’d got about £20 on and likewise hadn’t stepped foot in boots in years but needed a new lippy so went there and used my points

I have taken to buying Mr SL's toothpaste (and my face-cream) from B00ts online when they are needed and on discount - I don't have a loyalty card but I notice there is somewhere to record it (and use it) there, if that helps anyone

Just to add, we each won £25 PB this month
