    Interesting :cool:
    I normally save my double pts coupon for big Dtd's :p

    My favourite experience was when I had an SA add on the number showing under "points to date" rather than "points this visit" :eek:

    He gave me more than 600 points when it should have been about 50. :money:

    I haven't seen him again though :(

    Ive been out :D yes out.....to a proper swanky wine bar :)

    Ive had the mother of all pig days from hell:o I had a proper meltdown from DS2 earlier. It's because his room is getting done up and he's out of sorts, bless him :A BUT no-one else gave a flying fox and just left me to get on with it. I got him in bed and asleep by 9 with a double dose of sleepy medication.

    Then I had a proper rebel moment and thought.....Sod the lot of yous:D I texted a pal who also has a child with ASD, told her to get a fancy frock on and we went out :D we didn't get long.....but we vented alot of steam and had a very unMSE time drinking Bellinis. :D:rotfl::rotfl:

    I feel better :)

    I doubt he got any more grief than the price integrity team members that leave out so many OOD SELs ;)

    How comes?
    25% comes off original price. then its 2 for £3 - 50p per bottle. but I make that a £1 more not allowing for any pp. remember the more expensive the bottle before the 2 for £3. the less it costs
