Re: What have you just bought?
My weekly £50 Tesco Gift Card from the EVERUP app to go towards my weekly groceries, this time I used the cashback stored in the app to get it for £46.76, the whole process takes around 30 seconds and in doing so earned another £2.55 cashback for next week.
I wish the app allowed Amazon as an option!

Re: What have you just bought?
New gas hob and electric oven. The hob cost £120 to fit, the oven I did myself in minutes.
BUT...
Currys sent a black hob and not the stainless steel one I ordered, hopefully they will be back to fit the correct one next week.
Did you know that electric ovens don't come with any mains cable these days?

Mine come with a short on the earth. My friend was a sparky and installed it and it just kept tripping . Called Appliances Direct told them they sent a guy out from Domestic and General started stripping the oven down I said test the earth he refused tried to find a reason to blame me. Eventually he finished I said what is wrong he said a fault on the earth. I smiled and thought what a dick and I got a replacement installed at their cost. A short period of time later I got a letter of D & G asking me for payment saying it was my fault. I called and told them no and have the engineers report to prove it . I wonder how many get ripped off and pay without thinking

A new radiator key for bleeding the damn things.
Honestly, you specifically place things like this in a safe and unforgettable place . . . and they go missing when you need them

Re: What have you just bought?
The usual £50 Tesco Gift Card for this week's shop using the EVERUP app, sadly only 4.5% cashback this time, it was 5.1% but it's still £2.25 off my shop.

Re: What have you just bought?
I haven't actually bought anything (yet) but yesterday I received confirmation that I would be allowed the £200 Winter Fuel Payment.
As - apparently - all us pensioners use it for a World Cruise I'm in the process of searching for one.
Sadly they all seem to be priced in the thousands . . even on Amazon, Temu and Ebay

Re: What have you just bought?
A new PC monitor for the missus, and a new wall-mounted hand vac for the kitchen.
Her dead LG monitor dates from 2014. The old vac is from 2012.
Curry's website took an hour to say that the ones they "had" were actually all out of stock, so I chose Amazon instead and £11 cheaper overall. They say it's a Saturday delivery, but they usually arrive a lot earlier than that.
