Lucky dishwasher tablet!

I found a gold wrapped tablet in the box, thought I may have won something. Sent it back to 'Finish' with a nice covering letter.

Unfortunately the reply stated that it was the end of the roll of packaging, thus the gold colour. But they enclosed a voucher for £4.00 for my time and effort.

Did a weekly shop at Kwik Save, 'Finish' dishwasher tablets were on offer, 50% free, then found a battered box on the 'reduced shelf' for £4.50, containing 84 tablets.

Handed over my voucher when I paid, there was a new boy on the till, who gave me my receipt, and the voucher back again!!!

Went back the next day and bought the same thing again, unfortunately they kept the voucher this time!

Got enough tablets to last nearly half the year tho!

    As a working Mum, with mild MS, and a husband who works long erratic hours its a fantastic invention!

    Mine is 11 years old, and cost £199. I can think of far worse things to waste your dosh on!!!

    Who wants to join the "Dishwasher Club"?

    We had someone in Nottingham who found the golden powerball, but it was after the closing date for the competition so he didn't get anything

    Oh no! That's worse than never finding one! Cynical me says that maybe they didn't put them on sale until too late :rolleyes:

    Toosie - Can I join your Dishwasher Club please. I got mine when I ruptured the ligament in my thumb (very painful) and couldn't do much with my hands. I wouldn't be without it now though. My kitchen is small so it really helps to be able to put stuff straight in there rather than piling up on the work surface while I'm trying to prepare a meal. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

    Dishwasher owners unite!

    And i'll join the Dishwasher Club too please , if ya dont mind, I couldnt live without mine, just cos im a lazy mare LOL, no not really, I got mine years ago when i was pregnant my stomach was sooooooo hge i couldnt reach the sink LOL, but after it was a godsend as i cant use detergents or wear rubber gloves because i get really bad excema if i do.

    Having said that, I dont think we need to make excuses for our preference for a dishwasher its a personal choice and im sticking by mine :D:D
