It was her 40th so a bit of a milestone.

We're obviously poor and indeed tight northerners

Those were very useful, and the Mrs has bought lots of things that make the house "nice" dipping into vouchers to do so over the last year and a bit. Somehow I think it felt like it was OK to spend it on stuff that wasn't directly useful.

But in general I think vouchers are in the store's favour, rather than the recipients.

Oh I don't know. I win beer vouchers from the one arm bandit outside Asda on a regular basis.

They are accepted at all pubs I tried using them at.
