        Good deal @pete!

        I should add that my fidelity card can be loaded as an app on the mobile and I get a weekly list of stuff on offer that week. I can then go thru it an accept or decline and it can range from pet foods to garden supplies to toiletries, household goods, foods and drinks. I always get 10% off any fruit and veg and often get a %age or a few euros off the total spend on fish, meat or poultry.

          Yes I get something similar on my Morrisons app, but i rarely look at it TBH.
          I think they offer me stuff they know I dont buy normally, so kind of getting you to buy something different from normal.

            Picked up my new water pump and after a bit of fiddling and muscling, my washer is up and running again. I had one small leak but luckily it was just a pressure fittng for one of the sensors that only needed an extra bit of pushing into place.

            And I got my wall fan repositioned for drying clothes on a line whenever I prefer. There is only one pillar in the cellar and it had to be installed on one of it's sides to reach power.

                    Got another one tonight, freebie, they sent it with the security cap on, I said they have done that in the past and last time I nearly broke the bottle.
                    The driver said I dont want to take that back, if you are happy I'll let you have it for nothing.:biggrin:
                    No contest.

                      Rain. Lots of lovely wet rain.

                      Haven't had anything like this since May, just dribbles.

                            I've received an email from the Sovereign Revenue Administration saying that I am owed a tax refund of £453 :hapydancsmil: and I just have to fill in their online form to be able to receive it. :whistle:

                            That's great as I haven't made a tax return for 25 years - no, I'm not one of the Royals :heehee:

                            Anyone want a share of it. :roflol:

                            It will also go towards paying for extra cloud storage that I'm told I need as my current storage is full. I don't have cloud storage. :loll:

                            Little things amuse me. :biggrin:
