Edit: pizza not coke0 -
Wheres my cashback what an amazing womble!
It would good to know how you experienced womblers cope with weather like this. I've walked past sodden receipts before thinking the ink will have run making them impossible to read and use so haven't picked them up. Any top tips to share on retrieving and preserving said receipts?
Many thanks from the tiny acorn
A lesson in wombles
Wombles are surprisingly strong even when soaking wet as long as they're handled carefully as they're what's known as thermal paper.
Rarely does the carbon 'ink' run no matter how wet, but it can fade if left very wet for a long long time
.
Never dry a womble with an iron as the womble will bring the chemicals out and it will turn black. Best pace to dry them is the footwell of the car with heater on full blast or leave to air dry naturally. You can dry on a radiator, but don't leave them too long as again the chemicals are likely to come out.
Never put sellotape on a womble as the 'ink' will completely disappear over time leaving a very blank sheet of paper.
Now the bad news. In studies in the US wombles have been linked to cancer due to the chemicals contained within...Yes, it's true.....but you'd probablt need to permanantly be handling the paper for it to affect you..............More chance of winning the Lotto I think !0 -
does anyone know if you can use pre-paid visas for click and collect orders please, and also, is your address linked to them?? many thanks.“Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?”

You're not about to start tonight :rotfl:
Get yourself a Mr T account and order 6x24 cans of coke (£9.99 each), a flump (to get over £60) and a box of special k red berries (free with online orders)
use a £17 off new customer code and claim £12 from clicksnap too. :money:
Oh and did I mention that the price drops to £6 at midnight so you'll not actually spend £60-£17, you'll spend £36-£17
£36-£17-£12 = £7 for 144 cans and a box of cereal :j
Note; you might have to register your T.com details with quidco for the cashback to work. Don't know for sure, I'm new to online clicksnap as of tonight
thank you soooo much xxbroke my back doing glitching :eek:

Who do you think?
Well, I'm just part of team elite contributors
You also have to thankCashlesslassie wrote: »Or if you are a brand new tesco customer you could buy the coke tonight, enjoy your £17 off for being brand new, tomorrow it will cost you £19 for 6 packs of 24 then clicksnap...
god I do hate numbers sometimes, i wish I had one of those brains that just *sees* them properly instead of the burning smell I make trying to work stuff out!
and also squills :beer: because his constant bleating about his 19.5p coke can "deal" prompted me to look for a better deal in the first place :rotfl:
and of course FloFlo for discovering the whole "order the night before a price change" trick :money:Apparently, everybody knows that the bird is [strike]the word[/strike] a moorhen0 -

And don't hold it in front of a fire to 'dry' as it'll burn and turn black!!:eek::eek: Hairdrier though, perhaps a little gentler?:) Or just let it dry naturally - does so at normal room temperature!:D0 -

I got a £15 code through the post this week but says on my first online shop, is that the same as you FC? Because obviously I have already done a first C & C or is that the same? Appreciate any help as my brain is a bit fuzzled tonight.
No, mine were addressed to me and my OH....I haven't used the accounts in months. The codes were accepted on the orders Ive done. Just looked and they say £15 off your NEXT online grocery shop0 -
