Rewards for Talking - My Kind of Incentive!

It's a bit of a running a joke in our house about the amount of time I spend talking on the phone, especially to my mum. It's often got to the point where we have had to hang up and change phones because our batteries are running low. So when I heard that the new mobile phone service by Sainsbury's is offering Nectar points for bundles bought it made me think that I should investigate this.

Typically I use my phone mostly for social networking, photos and text messaging through the day and I use my phone for making calls in the evening once JC is bed. Sainsbury's surveyed other Mums to see how they use their phones and it seems that I am pretty much the norm...

In launching Mobile by Sainsbury's they are creating a competitive platform for pay as you go customers. They are offering double nectar points on all food and fuel purchases when the Mobile bundle is matched to their Nectar card number. They have worked out that if a family of 4 switch to the £10 bundle, link up their Nectar account and spend the UK weekly average on food and fuel, they will earn back an amazing £180 a year in points. These points can be redeemed and spent in a number of ways ...

So to celebrate this new service, I have a £10 Sainsbury's giftcard to giveaway. To take part simply leave a comment on this post, my Facebook page or my Google + page telling me what you would spend £180 of Nectar points on. The giveaway closes on 08/08/13 at 8pm and the winner will be chosen at random and displayed by 8.30pm. Good Luck!!

I absolutely loved reading this book which is why I chose this book to give away. It is a thought provoking novel which produces tears as well as laughter. I cried on the last page of this book, not because it was sad but because it was finished. Here is the blurb from the book . . . 


HERE IS A SMALL FACT - YOU ARE GOING TO DIE 

1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier. Liesel, a nine-year-old girl, is living with a foster family on Himmel Street. Her parents have been taken away to a concentration camp. Liesel steals books. This is her story and the story of the inhabitants of her street when the bombs begin to fall. 

SOME IMPORTANT INFORMATION - THIS NOVEL IS NARRATED BY DEATH 

It’s a small story, about:

and quite a lot of thievery.
