OMG just how? :eek:

I checked out 2 Ts and even had a walk around an As under cover of darkness and nothing. We must be a tidy bunch over here

I was hopeless at it for ages but refined my technique this past few days.

Last night I entered 7 asda receipts and 17 tesco ones, and had 6 of the 5p fuel vouchers. That pile tonight contains 12 asda receipts, 20 tesco ones and 6 of the 5 off 40 till spits for next weekend.

wow i am impressed!! I struggle to get any around our way as there are litter wardens who hand out £75 fines for anyone caught littering, they handed one out the other day to a lady who's receipt got blown out of her trolley by the wind as she was trying to open the boot of her car!! :eek::eek: There is no way i would pay a fine for that though as she didnt throw it away on purpose as my insurance once told us after we were flooded, No money as it was an act of nature/god! (wind blowing it away)
Anyway they hang around my local A's a lot as it shares a car park with a few other shops, but everyone in the borough is being careful which i agree with of course but it really mucks up my wombling! lol

I wouldn't have paid, in fact I wouldn't have even acknowledged them and certainly wouldn't give them any details. Rentacops, I hate em!

Or me apparently they even have cameras on them now to film evidence and follow you to your cars to get your number plate!! :eek:

I certainly wouldn’t pay them, they were in our local rag a few months back as an old lady accidentally dropped some cotton, string that came out of her glove when she took it off, they gave her a £75 fine and she was very upset, well as you can imagine her family were not happy at all so they got the paper involved and the council who employs them and they had to apologise and give her a refund.

On another note of rentacops, my daughter had teacher training day on Friday so I took her dress shopping in another town and we got stopped by the kid catchers!! lol I had to fill out a form with all our details and give the school details and give an explanation of why she wasn’t in school! As it was a different borough they didn’t know anything about her school and they wouldn’t believe me she had a teachers training day. lol

Morrrrnnnnning :p:p

Had a couple of whoopsies in A's; milk 10p and bacon chops 15p to have as a treat with egg and chips tomorrow and a bag of 5 plaited crusty rolls for 9p in M's.

Lunch today was;

• 2 packs of butter basted chicken breast (pre cooked and sliced) whoopsied to 10p each last night
• Sauteed potatoes (roughly cubed maris pipers from the 2nd 5kg bag whoopsied to 16p over 2 weeks ago :T par boiled then fried in olive oil, sprinkled with mixed herbs and seasoned
• 1/3 of white cabbage (15p whole) 1/3 of cauliflower (25p whole) + 1/4 bag chantennay carrots (5p whole bag)
• + gravy and it was delisshhhh! :j :j

Well of course it would be the 'normal' thing to do to have a bbq on a day like today but thought I'd take the MSE route instead :rotfl:Makeshift Sunday roast on a hot Saturday!

Morning. Just going to have a quick read back and finish loading the car - doing a car boot this morning. Would be happy if I make anything near what the multi-talented Miss Laid made. Just hope we can get parked under the big tree in the field. When it is really hot every one seems to head for some shade (under the one tree) and have a 'root' whilst cooling down!
