Hello, Rosalind.
Thank you for the info.
No, I won't bother.
I was just curious to find out about where the Nectar points came from.

Good evening, Rusty!
I think the episodes of "Murder" sound interesting....I had just never come across any of them.
Now, Nectar points...Ros seems to have covered a fair bit.
500 points would be worth £2-50 deducted from the cost of one's shopping at Sainsbury's.
I know this is not a lot...but every little helps!
You can "spend" straight from your card by swiping it at Sainsbury's till.
Easy!
You can also spend the points at Argos or Vue Cinemas......or you can spend them online towards holidays , hotels, and days out.
Something for nothing in one sense.......so why not?
I did not previously know about ebay and Nectar...but here is a link
https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/buying/paying-items/ebay-nectar?id=4704
I hope this is of help?

P.S. Rusty!
I forgot to say that I can now also spend my Nectar points, when buying online from Sainsbury's.
Can't be bad!

Hello, Elle!
"Murder" is a good series.
The relative of the executed person is pinning their hopes on getting the judge to say the conviction is unsafe.
They can get quite emotional, having lived with the knowledge of a hanged relative all their lives.
I think I shall pass on Nectar points.
I do not spend enough money to gain very many.

Hi, Rusty!
Sainsbury's are quite good at "rewarding" their customers.
Apart from being able to use the Nectar card in Sainsbury's, the store also sends out vouchers occasionally; so much money off the bill if one spends a set minimum amount.
I like shopping there, although we do have an Aldi and a Lidl quite close by.
Tesco's is further afield, and I would need transport.
I notice that "Casualty" is on the TV tonight.
I am recording it.
I cannot watch it, until I have caught up with the last three episodes!
I am way behind with my viewing!

Hello, Elle!
Sainsbury is too far away from me. Roughly 8 miles.
And I would have to pass ASDA, ALDI, TESCO, and Morrison's to get there, so I am unlikely to ever go there.
No TV for me this evening.
But the slalom is on EuroSport tomorrow morning, and I won't miss that!

Hi, Rusty!
Yes, eight miles is definitely too far to go to do your supermarket shopping!
Sainnsbury's and Aldi are about equidistant for me, but I prefer Sainsbury's.
We have a Tesco Express (a "mini" store) down on the High Street, but the "proper" larger Tesco store requires transport to get there.
We have neither a Morrison's nor an Asda, here.
We used to go to Morrison's, though, when staying in Pakefield, in Suffolk.
I rather liked it.
What time does the slalom start tomorrow morning?

Good morning, Elle!
Seems to be dry outside!
It is years since I was in Morrison's.
I used to take the girls to the cafe there, after school.
I liked the store.
Always remember they had a super fish counter.
The first run of the slalom is around 9 o'clock and the second run is around noon.
I saw a photo of Doddie Weir yesterday and he was wearing a neck brace...and a big smile.
He's a brave man!

A Very Good morning to you, Rusty!
It is dry here, too.
Mildish, but dull and dreary.
I prefer a crisp, bright, sunny morning!
The girls were lucky, having you to collect them from school...and watch the Olsen twins, Ashleigh and Mary-Kate, all together!
I cannot remember the name of the programme?
Speaking of twins, I noticed that "Parent Trap" , where Hayley Mills plays both twins, is on the TV some time over the festive period.
I enjoyed that, when I watched it many moons ago.
Yes, Doddie Weir is indeed courageous, battling his adversity with such a smile.
I expect you are watching the slalom now.......how is it going?
And I need a coffee!

Hello, Elle!
Great day here!
Mary-Kate and Ashleigh were in "Two of a Kind".
It was a great programme!
Slalom going well.
After the first run Mikaela Shiffrin is leading Petra Vlhova with Nina Haver-Loeseth in third place.
Only two crashes, too.
The bottom section of the course was very tricky and Mikaela seemed to be the only one who held her speed through the difficult gates.
And that's how she's the best ever!
I am looking forward to your Sainsbury delivery.
Will they substitute a packet of Persil for a half pound of mince?
Could be great fun these home deliveries!
