    Hi there - thanks to Zippy and Aau1 earlier for the fun over my Carling Zest calculation error. I was going to say I'm "...wrong...but right in the end". Little typos often creep in on my first attempt at posting, but I always notice them and am self-correcting in the end.

    Except that 'always' is wrong itself now and should be "almost always".

    I'd simply added the £3 difference (between the actual original charge of the product and the erroneous SEL) to my original figure which was itself wrong as I slipped on the calculator:o:o. (Double :o - once for the wrong amount and second for my mental arithmetic not being what it once was - I think if you use it... this was really good when I was at school (many years ago) but, after schoolchildhoodum, do many of us need to do those things again?:) As I'm now more recently doing calculations once again, due to taking up this shopping method, it will improve. He says...:rotfl:)

    It's now clear to me that, technically:rotfl:, Aau1 had told me of my incorrect calculation .... [tbc]

    Rice Krispie Totally chocolatey squares. £1.99 in T, £1 in A, £1 c/b on shopitize = FREE but adds 99p to PP (do you have space?)

    Dove mini deos £1.20 in T, £1.12/3 for £3 in A. use £1 MOC from ATMs and get singles for 12p or 3 for FREE (again, depends on how much room your PP has)

    I got a printout for my balance in the hope of a voucher for £1 but didn t get one. Maybe it's finished now :(

    With promos like this I've found that some machines are programmed with different deals. In a bank of 4 machines there might be 2 different deals going on alternate ATMs

    Watch the screens before you enter your card. You are looking for an ATM with a video advert for Dove and the screen says "request a receipt and get a £1 voucher"

    You taking me out mimi???

    As long as you don't mind QOC and IZZEYB coming along too.

    I've also booked myself some driving lessons.

    In 3 months time, I will have to use up £110 worth of points. What will I get? Eeeeek. See this is the downside of collecting Tosco/Boots/Consumer Pulse points, you have to spend them too! :(
