You are very welcome - dig out all the receipts you can find because we discovered this after I had just cleared out my handbag and I can't tell you how cross I was!
I am a sucker for roadkill - I find loads of it but to me, these receipts are a far better find and it just takes a quick walk around the car park to find some. Bear in mind you are only allowed so many vouchers a month (I think it's ten) so I sometimes check them at work and use a different email address. And you won't get a voucher from every receipt - it has to be under 10% cheaper to get one so don't get disheartened if you have more misses than hits!
