    PS. Does anyone know where I can get a couple of cotton reels stuck together? They must be yellow and have 'Kernow' printed on them...
    I've got a specially created, hand-crafted, eco-friendly range of bespoke and specialist natural thread dispensing towers available at the moment. These beautiful creations can be yours for just £19.95 a pair. They come lovingly wrapped in acid-free tissue paper, before being encased in a hand-crafted artisan wood-free gift box. Under the fair trade system, we've provided sustainable employment to fog knitters across the West Country. Pure indulgence, these are heirlooms of the future.

    Shall I put you down for 4 guv?

    See - I've created a market and there's a rush on!

    Buy before the price goes up. I can't keep this low price forever. You're procuring a unique blend of artisan crafts and timelessness!

    Can I buy all your stock?

    I'm planning to rent them out. Admittedly on a short term tenancy basis, and if anyone asks for their pets to be allowed to touch them then I'll have to move them on.

    Anybody got a linky to the current Tesco DTD spreadsheet please? The links I have don't seem to work.

    Also, if I buy say 3 Wilkinson Sword Hydro 5 Razors at £8.19 each from Tesco for a total outlay of £24.57, apparently I ought to get back more than I paid. But is there a £20 limit on the cashback, so those three razors will actually cost me £4.57? Is that right?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    I've got other interested parties, who are keen to move quickly on this transaction - and they're cash buyers.

    We're now entering sealed bids territory. Make your best and final offer, the other interested parties are keen for a speedy resolution and are able to proceed without hindrance. Don't miss out.

    Use separate transactions.
    2 razors, "next customer" bar, 1 razor. Take a neighbour, friend, tramp from outside and get them to run it through as a different transaction. Use different emails.

    You're better off buying two (going on the spreadsheet numbers which I've not checked are correct). That will generate 16.80 of DTD and get stuff to top it up to £20, otherwise as you point out it'll no longer be a "free" purchase
