    That was my first thought so I'm going to keep a little list;)Nannylala is lurking because she keeps telling me things she's read. She told me today about someone getting trouted while wombling in A's:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:I've skipped a few pages and must have missed it so did she dream it or did someone really get trouted while wombling:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    This was the original post:

    told OH that they had got the reg number of the car


    Some people have suggested printing this out and taking it with you when wombling:

    :o:oWhy did I think it was 1 point for 4 cans?:cool::cool: The thing I don't like though is it doesnt give you a receipt for the points (Stood their like a right lemon waiting for something to come out:o) So I'm going to make a list of all the times I go just in case they forget my points;)

    I think it was at one point. I'm sure I remember a time when they stopped giving points - I think I gave up at that point. Also a lot of people just recycle to recycle and don't use a clubcard, so always worth swiping your CC before and after you deposited.;)

    Just spent a few days visiting parents while Dad had some hospital treatment, gave Mum a lesson in reading the till spits, rather than binning them. :sigh: She then produced about 20 S till spits and they were all useless to her and thinks she's proved her point.

    I guess every little helps;)

    Yeah, that might be the difference between 491 and 500 points at voucher time :rotfl:

    I reckon 5 would be my lowest limit
