    Oh and I forgot to mention that you feel that in some way we should just recognise each other in the street, like Masons or something, give a knowing smile and be on our way.:D

    When you feel physically sick when the person in front of you in the queue at Boots doesn't use an Advantage card......

    (and you get extra sad credits if you are brave enough to offer yours :o )
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    When you scrutinise the person in front of you's trolley or basket at the checkout, and seethe if they've got a reduced stickered item that you would have had if you'd seen it first.

    When someone has two or more of said stickered items so you suspect there may be a glut, and you leave your OH taking the shopping back to the car, while you grab a basket and go round again in search!

    (For "you" read "me" :o ).
    :D I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe :D

    What!!! The envelopes can be reused!! They aren't scrap paper!

    See I'm starting already (sat next to my box full of bubblewrap envelopes that I have received items in)

    When you smile in the queue at Tescos CS as the trolley you're using was used by someone who owned a pub (well you'd think so the amount of alcohol they bought) and didn't have a clubcard so you go and get the points added to yours :)
    When you wonder what on earth you did before you discovered this site

    I spent lots and owed lots, I don't wonder about that one, just try not to remember it
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    When you park as far away from the tescos entrance as you can so you can check every trolley park and hedge row for womble clubcard points.


    I had completely forgotten about that, used to do it back in my student days. I think I might just take it up again :D

    When you walk 4 miles to Superdrug, just because they are selling stamps a couple of pence cheaper than the post office at the end of your street (probably cost myself more in shoe leather lol!).
