I was just thinking how lucky I am. Lovely wife. Lovely kids (most of the time) , Nice Car. FULL CUPBOARDS and then I read about this guy



If this does not touch your heart, then you just don't have one. This is an incredible story of luck and inspiration. This guy was skint. Shopped at Aldi. Home Bargains was a luxury. Tesco was another another world.

Can you believe it? This guy, Ade Taylor, wins £181 million in the lottery last Wednesday, and then finds the love of his life just 2 days later. Talk about LUCK!

Yes but I'm sure he would have met her even if he hadn't won all that money.
Look at him, he obviously has good looks, charm, wit etc.
What normal girl would say no to a stud like that?

Here is a question then.
I assumed you need to add the same email your input with the receipt to check it. Isn't that the case?

Thanks

It is only the receipt number that matters - you can type in any old e-mail address.

wow-weeeee had my first trout experience today :eek:

Had very carefully done my 2 shops, one a dtd only cleaning & suncream shop so easy to justify as seperate. Then my usual bits plus dtd's to £20 as upgrades to usual shop (fabby looking pizza, magnums, roasties etc)

1st one scanned and packed, voucher presented, with receipt.
"Oh" she said "one of those"
yes I said
Then "well look at this you have a £20 voucher and you only spent £24. Well that's ridiculous, just ridiculous"
and she puts it to one side and asks me for the full amount. Um, I say, that voucher needs to come off please.
"Oh you want to use it on those couple of bits do you? Oh I thought it was for the next lot. But you only spent £24 and got £20 back"
this is where I start to wriggle inside but keep cool, and say, yes good isnt it?!
"No, its ridiculous" she says, calls the supervisor ver loudly points out the £20/£24 thing and supervisor rolls eyes and says "yes" purses lips and walks away.

2nd lot of shopping goes through.
I get out 2nd voucher.
Trout is even less happy now. Lips now so tightly pursed they are airtight and watertight. I'm starting to worry about her breathing :rotfl:
So she waves ot at the SA on next till "have you seen these?" "well make sure you sign right over the receipt numbers at the bottom so THEY can't use them again" SA next till serves her customer, then walks round and they both stand having a good old natter about how they need to sign over the numbers (yes we got it the first time....yawn...). I'm stood looking all casual, watching them have their conflab. lady behind me in queue (with bertty crocker and mccoys waiting to be scanned, voucher in hand) looks at me and rolls eyes :rotfl:;)
After several minutes of pouting and complaining about "them buying only stuff to get money back" I say "um sorry um but I'd like to get my magnums home for the freezer before they melt"
lady behind grins
trout begrudgingly signs it and puts it through, and I toddle off on my merry way.......

and breathe again as panic subsides when I get outside

This time last year I was living in a homeless hostel in Manchester, I know have my own apartment but things aint been easy as they say, I am gradually building a mountain of reasonably long life non perishable foods, so when dtd may end I still have some food in the cupboards.

I have £40.02 in vouchers at the moment, its my birthday today im 39, and tommorow im going to a big tescos on the outskirts of Manc and buy some new clothes after ive been back to tescos in Salfrod to get those womens bikini razors then put them on ebay.

Thankyou to everybody on here for the help and advise on what items to buuy or purchase, I couldnt have done this without you guys so this is for all of you and keep up the good work.


mmmmmwwwwaaaahhhhhhhh.:beer:

Can someone explain this for me please. I've been ready the thread on and off all day trying to make sure I buy the right things and get my head around how it works. I'm now confused that I then have to spend the voucher in a certain way or I'll lose money?

If you buy a couple of DTD items you may get your basket to be dearer than asda, however if you mix in items which are cheaper at tescos, as the comparison looks at your whole basket you will lose out
e.g.

1 lamb rack - £7.25 at T but £2.82 at A would get you a voucher back for £8.86

However throw a packet of mc cains home roasts (cheaper in tescos, £1 compared to £1.46) in too and you get

£7.25 + £1 at T compared to £2.82 + £1.46 at A so the difference now is £3.97 so voucher would be for £7.94

You could use a domain that you know doesn't exist, but sounds real, like @supra.net?
I'm sticking to 3 vouchers pet email address per month so having 10 'real' would be quite hard?
Do you really think I should use real ones, go to gmail amd actually set them up! Thanks

i never like to tell anyone what to do,but i honestly do think its worth putting the effort in i use yahoo to set mine up only takes me about 2 mins to set up 8 emails,take some advice from others and do it whatever way you choose i hope ive helped :beer:
