Just back from my most expensive trip to Mr T's ever, i did really well to start with - took back the food processor that came up as full price and got my £40 back. Looked at the meal deals but my store already has the valentine meal deals on the shelf £15 each :eek::eek::eek:
Then found a cadbury double decker egg with mug price marked at £3 but went through at £6 - so free :j:j:j


Thought i would fill my car up using the 10p off a litre voucher filled up then drove down the road a couple of miles and my car not at all well - couldn't even get 5 mph out of it, so pulled over and then had an awful thought - looked at my receipt and i had only gone and put petrol into my diesel car £60 worth :eek::eek::eek: rang OH and he said top up with diesel !! can't its already full to the brim:eek::eek:

I rang a local garage they came out and got me took me to garage and now have to pay £150 + vat for them to drain it and flush through the system and then they will put £15 worth of diesel back into it for me - going to be approx £200 :eek::eek::eek::eek:

Days like this i could really cry:mad::mad::mad:

Oh bensonsmum, that's a real pain !!! Sending hugs. :A

Oh ... :mad::mad::mad::mad: ... :grouphug:

OK ... on trying to be positive ... if it wasn't for MrT it'd be coming out of your pocket. Think of £200 ... as 11 £19 JTDs.

Sorry it's the best I can do at the moment.

What car is it? Don't mean to scare you but some of the modern diesels need new pumps after they've run petrol!!

Get yourself 2 or 3 of the 25 litre drums from a car wash and clean and dry them out and take them with you and tell them you want the fuel back. You'll be able to use it a gallon at a time per full tank of diesel.

Another edit..........check with you car insurance as some companies will cover it.

Citroen czara picasso 02 plate 2l HDi - please don't tell me mine is one of them!!!

I wish i had thought of that earlier im now back at the house - after a 3 mile walk, gave me time to calm down a bit, but no where near any petrol stations/garages and also have no way of getting them to the garage where i left my car to be fixed but thanks for the idea .

I would have a look at my insurance docs - but they are in the glove box of my car - so won't know until i get my car back - thank you xx
