    Sorry to say it Tom, but for once you are wrong...............I forgot my bladdy vouchers, and only realised when everything was on the belt :( (Put it all back)


    i'm guessing there were no magazines in that store or you could have taken the coupons from one of them - it's a pain when that happens and we've probably all done it at some time. i forgot my card a couple of month back - embarrassing!! :o
