    Thanks everyone - made a change from bills :D

    Aesop you are right in my case - my tax rebate was automatic and a lovely surprise :) - I think it was to do with the interest free car loan I get at work which I paid off this month :j. Apparently when it drops below £5000 there is no benefit in kind to pay.
    If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try - oh bu99er that just cheat :D

    Well, something strange is happening on mission control.

    I have just logged in and immediately won 5 stickers and 5 vouchers, before I even posted anything today.

    Got Top Contributor £5, Encyclopaedia £5, Silver Rated £5, Gold Rated £10, and Big Tipper £10. All lov2shop vouchers.

    These are the first vouchers I have won, but am puzzled as to why they suddenly came through together.

    Will give them to my DS as a thanks for all his wombling.

    well done CW and ahhhh to DS, what a lovely surprise he is going to get.

    ooh hope it's not a glitch, just replied to someone's post as they hadn't fully posted the suggestion, loads asking what to do, so told them and just won a £5 LTS for top contributor too.

    typical have to go out now! why didn't I check this morning when I was in?

    can't play mission control on phone. it is not built for mobiles.

    Really quick post before I do school run. JTD shop didn't quiet go to plan so I'm assuming Asda did change some prices on the Saturday. Not to worry though as I will return a couple of things ;)

    2 x ARIEL STAIN REMOVER BLUE POWDER 500G £ 6.00 £ 9.08
    1 x POT NOODLE CHICKEN & M/ROOM4 PACK £ 3.99 £ 3.85
    1 x DOLMIO ORIGINAL BOLOGNESE SAUCE 500G £ 1.99 £ 1.84
    1 x DETTOL AEROSOL NEUTRA AIR CITRUS 300ML £ 1.60 £ 1.00
    1 x AUNT BESSIE'S MIDWEEK MINI ROASTIES 700G £ 1.79 £ 1.00
    2 x AUNT BESSIE'S TOAD IN THE HOLE190G £ 3.28 £ 2.00
    6 x ANDREX WASHLETS REFILL £ 11.28 £ 6.00
    This time, your shop would have been £ 5.16 cheaper at ASDA
    I made a mistake once, believeing people on the internet were my virtual friends. It won't be a mistake that I make again!
