    So I don't know what to do.
    Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.

        I took it out when they first appeared. I dutifully used it for months and did not shop anywhere else.

        After about 8 months they sent me a load of vouchers. For nappies, make-up and ladies sanitary items.

        I sent the vouchers and the card back with a sharply worded letter asking where they thought I ought to stick the tampons and that they can stick their card in the same place.
        When I was most recently on the bench and things were a bit tight, I was able to use two years of Nectar points to get three weeks' food shopping with the addition of trivial amounts of change. I still have another couple of weeks of feeding myself on the card, ready for the next time cash is short.

        A penny in the pound mounts up in the long term. Thinking about it, at least a couple of those three weeks included wine and/or beer.

        Actually, one included a rather expensive wine that was almost exclusively devoted to a boeuf bourgignon. But it was free, in the sense of having been paid for by much prior shopping, and the meal cheered me up

        I never actually use the vouchers they send though: just the points. They add up in the long run

          Why have you been living in the kitchen? And why do you have to move out twice?
