  • BW, I tried to book a courier that you suggested but they have pulled out from parcelsplease:eek: now parcelsplease only contracted DHL - bl00dy expensive too:D

    Luckily I did a search on TCB, managed to get a cheaper courier & reputable too.

    They contracted Parcelforce to collect my parcels. Only paid £17ish including vat. whereby DHL was going to charge me £26 inc. vat:eek:

    Just letting you know that UPS no longer in their system or any other couriers systems.
    RIP my dear dear parent : Mum aged 62 (17/5/1990) & Dad aged 89 (23/1/2012)

    jeferey pick up another coke or you pay full price for rice and remember it is against S's quantities of 2 so your list has 6 all together:j

    [FONT=&quot]1 x Ambrosia 400g TIN/CAN
    2 x Diet Coke Caffeine Free (8x330ml)
    3x Diet Coke (8x330ml)
    + fillers[/FONT]

    Wasn't absolutely positive if caffeine compares as not purchased but both on MSM and don't say N/A so shouldn't be a problem.

    Then remember the cereal is W's, where you can add cleaning & robinson with your cereal options as an alternative if not available or to make numbers up but remember these go in 3 including the trigger rice + 2,5,8

    Yes caffeine free coke does work I got some the other week when they were £5 for 2

    Here's a potential coke shop (I'm assuming odd means 3 items incl. coke?):

    [FONT=&quot]1 x Ambrosia 400g TIN/CAN
    2 x Diet Coke Caffeine Free (8x330ml)
    2 x Diet Coke (8x330ml)
    + fillers[/FONT]

    Thanks again :D


    Jeferey
    you would be better getting

    1 Ambrosia rice pudding original 400g tin
    1 Ambrosisa custard original 400g tin
    2 Diet coke
    2 Diet coke caffiene free
    + fillers. That way both Ambrosia count as one of your minimum number of items needed


    got to be even numbers hun for this one to work.
