    I think there are quite a few using their car boots as mobile stash storage :rotfl:

    OH moans at me even if I leave stuff in there a few days.
    I went to T before Christmas to return something only to find it had been taken out of the boot and was at home in the spare room. :mad:

    Incase anyone has a Sparks card and an upcoming birthday the birthday offer is 20% off clothing, one usage and 10% off food one usage valid for a fortnight.

    sadly does not include alcohol :( so possibly it wont work on a meal deal.
    The clothing one - I am wondering what would happen if I bought a jumper in store - would it also take my jumper £5 off and then take another 20% off ... might be worth an experiment. Online I suspect it will only take one offer - it wont take the 20% off ...

    Big thanks to the kind person who encouraged us to go to the ref board and put our codes in. A kind person has used my shopmiumms code this morning - I think I get a free Lindt bar but its not showing on my list yet - will it take a few days, am I being impatient??? Free chocolate is always very exciting!

    I think it might be a good filler item for a
    a v Mr T shop

    if propercorn is still on the COS list and my store has restocked and I can think of a good enough comparison list ...

    Also can I ask what happens now. Do I delete my original message? How long before I can put a new code up? Will shopimumm issue me with a brand new code?

    Morning luvlies

    That’s great mhoc, they get the chocolate and you get £4 referral credit added to your account. This means if you fancy buying something half price at £2 instead of £4 for example you get it free and £2 is taken from your referral credit. You always keep the same code.

    I was the one who initially bought shopmium over to our thread and I think about 6 people from here used my code, I still have about £5 of my credit left :)

    I went to T before Christmas to return something only to find it had been taken out of the boot and was at home in the spare room. :mad:

    MY OH tends to over compensate and always asks if I want things left in the boot as he assumes I am taking things back - I don't do that many returns!
    Over Christmas he was driving around with two trays of cat food - 24 tins in all - convinced they were going back to Asda - and then the morning cat food cans was very low stock and I needed the Asda tins he had taken the car and the cans to work with him :)

    ta for this - I had a proper look now and it says I've actually got £8 pending - so 2 people have used my code - even better

    Fingers crossed a new offer comes up soon :)

    Also COS have sent me one of those weird cashback offers via text again - free 1.75l coke zero and also £1 off eight-packs of cans.

    I am thinking that 2 coke zeros are about £1.75 each or £2.50 in sada and Mr T so that's another good addition to the list

    Have to do a search back to see if they are matching :D

    They had one of these a long while back, I was totally unconvinced but it worked - the cashback appeared on my totals.
