    How irritating.  Clearly it was a computer said no situation somewhere....

    Went on an away-day to Morrisons as they had good offers on some things I wanted (one out of stock, sadly - but it was a great price). Managed to get an unopened 1.6kg tub of Bombay potatoes from their salad bar (who knew supermarkets still had salad bars 🤷‍♀️) reduced to clear for the bargain price of £1.25! That will go nicely with tomorrow night's curry!

    Had a similar situation to your Sainsbug card with Bcard. Reduced my credit limit to £100 a few years ago so I closed it. Six months later got pre approved for a new Bcard worth five figure credit limit 🤷🏼‍♀️

    Hmmm, that's interesting 🤔 Not sure I'd want to go back (yes, I do hold grudges 🤣), but desperate times may call for desperate measures!

    My brain just interpreted this as "Could you survive Midsommar", in reference to the 2019 horror film :D
