Also if anyone is wondering why they dont seem to have had much or any post recently it may be that your local sorting office has been short staffed (due to pinging) - these are the affected areas.

• Bath (BA1 and BA2)
• Blackpool (FY1 to FY6)
• Chorley (PR6)
• Debden (IG7, IG8, IG9, IG10)
• Enfield (EN1, EN2, EN3)
• Henley on Thames (RG9)
• Middleton (M24)
• Newton Abbot (TQ12, TQ13)
• Plympton (PL7)
• Rochdale (OL11, OL12, OL13, OL14, OL15, OL16)
• Worthing (BN11, BN12, BN13, BN14)

I'm on that list. The staff shortages are definitely showing, we've had much less post than usual recently.

A question please

Has anyone bought Sainsburys giftcards in Argos recently - physical giftcards in an Argos store?
Just wondering if its worth just going and asking - our Argos is in a Sainsburys store.

Looking at my Halifax cashback extras I found this useful offer
"Earn 7% Cashback on your next purchase of £15 or more at Argos. Maximum reward £30.00 Cashback. Offer expires 06/08/2021 and is valid one time only"

No mention of exclusions regarding gift cards.

And then I realised that if I use my Halifax debit card it is also on my list of saved cards for Airtime rewards for an added 2% cashback - so 7% and 2% = 9% - quite acceptable

I've bought some too for/from ComSav. They should be on display behind the till - £15 and £25.

Morning all. Thanks for the tea Sleazy, hope you’re feeling a bit perkier now

Made the mistake of looking on the amazon thread and now I have four trays of cream soda all coming on different vans. I’ll never understand how they split deliveries of the same order.

I was impressed with my last delivery..... 5 separate orders came on one van.... most of it was alcohol!

I know! I'm meant to be working as well today though, so I'm trying to tidy up a couple of things each time I walk through the house.

My raspberries have gone a bit crazy, it's hard to keep up!

Good morning all sorry not been about had a severe case of cba at doing anything I think I went into lazy overdrive. Garden is all finished furniture coming next week. Update on injured cat he has been back to vet a couple of times I sent a picture of his wound yesterday and they are now happy to not see him but I have to check it daily for any signs of infection as his fur is growing back quickly it is getting harder to check him, this is the cat that never stays still for long.

Hope everyone is doing OK and I will from today try and keep up

Have a fab day peeps

Morning all. Hot already. Didnt get up early enough to walk Tessa so she will have to do without today. Unless I'm brave enough to go out at 9pm (is it cool enough then). We seem to get a lot of what we call Maybugs even though it July, over the park in the evening. Hate them. Have memories of killing them with tennis rackets when I was a kid

Everyone terrified they would get in their hair.

Anyway, wondering if ok to put this petition here. action.breastcancernow.org/its-time-trodelvy?fbclid=IwAR02QGZdZrEQX-WGzMS6m0bAO8GTLT14eO29x07hdEPQDrmrf4eyp9_zKJ4 It's for a drug to help those unfortunate to get Triple Negative Breast Cancer and it spreads. As you know I had this 3 years ago but luckily not spread. But I belong to a few forums for those that have/had TNBC and most of the women that get it seem to be so young and with young kids. And its heartbreaking reading that theirs has spread and many die leaving their young children motherless

Would be great if this drug was approved asap to help these women live longer. I believe its been approved in USA but NHS are dragging it out. Probably blaming paperwork or something like that

Anyway, hopefully with the power of the Elite we can add many more names to this petition. Thanks in advance

Yep, they work fine. The staff have to put the amount in manually so it doesn't make a difference to them.
