    Afternoon Elite!

    I am reporting back after several attempts to buy bogof cakes - mainly successful!

    The first time I bought an orange juice to make up the money but still asked for approval:mad:, lovely CS man put it through anyway.I thought I would try one lot then go back for more if it scanned ok.

    That was a stupid idea because in the time it took me to go back and get 3 more lots of cakes nice CS man was gone and replaced by trout.:( She approved the first lot of cakes :D but then on the second lot said it didn't come to £3 so I couldn't use the coupon( she has just scanned one for me but I didn't mention that!)

    Trout "have you spent £3?"
    Me "yes":o
    Trout "look they are bogof it doesn't come to £3"
    Me "Oh dear I never was very good at maths"


    So I have no real answers how to avoid a trouting with the bogof cakes...

    But here is a handy cut out and keep guide to trying to sneak bogof cakes and dodgy coupons through the SS without anyone noticing...:rotfl::rotfl:

    Cakes only total £3 / £3.10 (before bogof) - approval needed:(
    Cakes total £3 / £3.10 and 56p box of juice - approval needed:(
    Cakes total as above , £1.00 bottle of milk - approval needed:(
    Cakes total as above , £5 ish of frozen items - no approval needed!:T

    This is all through SS tills. so I now have 24 boxes of cakes in total!:T:T:T Should last a week or so.

    And I have a TON of wombles from A and T including a £4 off £30 and a 250 points for a home insurance quote:T:T:T

    :D
    :) Learn from the past, enjoy and appreciate the present and work to make your future the best it can possibly be :)

    And get lots of glitches!

    lucky you .

    A sizzling game with Kenny & Roberto locking horns in a tactical battle reminisent of Spassky & Fischer but without chess pieces .The play ebbed and flowed with pure passing a pleasure to watch ...if either team could actually achieve this it would have been .:(
    There was little opportunity to fool the ref by falling to the ground , and I almost laughed when the comentator stated that Lampard had a natural talent .
    Liverpool were fleet footed and almost completed a pass to a player on their own team . The Red Sea was parted .

    At least the 1st half went quickly .
    I was young once , now I get older all the time .
