What a coincidence! My DD was born in January but wasn’t due until February so a pattern emerges there 😆 My mom said wouldn’t it be lovely if the baby was born on my birthday and I said no way it’s not due until February and guess what she got her wish 🤣kayannie said:SA - it's my DD's birthday today too, & she wasn't due till January.

One of my friends allowed someone to use her Nectar card so he could get the discounts as he’d forgotten his. She let him and he stole her balance she’d been saving for her Christmas shop 🤬 She’s taking it further but to be aware just in case it happens to anyone else.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0

I'm hoping that it was a misunderstanding at the till but kinda unlikely...
Good on her for taking it further, that's theft pure and simple if deliberate, hope he gets terrible food poisoning and his girlfriend leaves him.
Is she okay for money for Christmas food?0
