    Flying ants are rife here today! I hope there is a huge thunderstorm heading for London but without epic rain as our roof tiles started falling off today. Hello everyone!

    Ok, I couldn't resist doing the maths. Something has to keep my brain alive. :p

    Kelloggs fruit n fibre
    T - £2.69 3 for 2
    S - £1.34
    Buy 9
    Before 3 for 2 kicked in price was £24.21 so 4 fuel vouchers
    Pay £16.14 v £12.06
    TPP = £4.08

    Kelloggs Just right
    T - £3.14
    S - £1.49
    Buy 4
    Get 2 fuel vouchers
    Pay £12.56 v £5.96
    TPP = £6.60

    Total spend £28.70 and TPP of max £10 so fillers need to be about same price. Or buy each type of cereal separately, (don’t do some and some or you won’t get 4 vouchers with the fruit n fibre.)
    If my theory works, you get 13 boxes of cereal for under £19, and 30p off per litre of fuel. :D

    I have only been back online a few hours and the maths is already giving me a headache. :o

    Thanks Elsie. :)

    And I will thoroughly enjoy eating them all the more:D:D:D
    This is normally a nightmare store, for coupons and managers but great CS staff:beer:

    Worth keeping an eye on this tonight. :eek:

    I just found a picture on the Larmer Tree Festival Facebook page by someone of the lightening that I was under last night. :eek: (sorry have no idea how to show pic on here :o)

    If I had seen how many forks were coming down to the ground while we were in the Comedy Club tent I would have been pretty scared, no wonder they decided to evacuate. :eek:

    That was the Salisbury area about midnight last night.
