Thanks for the advice on spacing - but I've already looked at the Mocrosoft Help Page and I've tried changing to Single on the paragraphs thingy - but its still giving me very wide lines ! I seem to remember that last time I had to double click on the Line Spacing Options and then change something to do with the points thing on the Indents and Spacing Tab - I've changed several things but its not helped and now I can't remember where I started ! I feel proper daft.ELITE 5:2

I kept going I to Morrisons and buying a bar of chocolate to see if the £5 vouchers printed out of the machine. Problem was I kept on eating the chocolate. Then I discovered that on line your total points will show in your match and more account, and when that number decreases your vouchers are ready to print out. You then go to any till buy the paracetamol or whatever and your vouchers pop out. This often happens about 3pm and my hubby suggests its because the american system that sorts it out it would be 9am then. By the way if you take an item back they have no way of taking points back. I am not saying be dishonest, but if the more points dont go on, as happened to me, you still keep the match points☺0

Had a thought (dangerous I know) about Morrie's more points does anyone know if you get them when buying the items when woopsied possibly being paid to take away depending on how much they are reduced0

Bon Voyage DM!
I just ordered my Morries card. I think what rosy is saying is, she got £20 back from a £31 shop which she then used to get £19.50 of Comfort, then Dettol, etc etc. You'd get diminishing returns obviously but a lot of stuff for just £31 outlay??
Correct, thats it. The till prints the £5 vouchers on your next shop0 -

See instructions here to change default:
http://blogs.office.com/2012/03/06/change-the-default-line-spacing-in-word/
For one off changes, look on the top tool bar for Paragraph and an icon with both and up and down arrow and lines next to it - click on that.

It looks like there may be 30 times that number of items with points across the whole store. It's taken me somewhat under 10 minutes to copy that from my handwritten notings-down, so 10 x 30 = 300 / 60 = 5 hours, about right! Probably a little less as didn't take quite 10 minutes and assuming I have no breaks at all (which I can tell you will not be the case). It's possible there could be some more fresh fish items if I have written them in some other place (no pun intended:rotfl::rotfl:, just realised that one as I wrote it). This will not be the post where the 'full' list gets posted, that'll all be done later, so feel free to let me have one post in a row at this point!:rotfl:. Done!:rotfl:
Thank you for the effort Savvy but as their M M&M app has all the offers, wouldn't that be easier for you? I know the M app/website does not necessarily reflect all the instore products and therefore you are gathering "new" information, but the M M&M should reflect all offers? In fact, as M M&M app covers the points and cash offers, it may mean you can focus your attention just on "normal" M pricing rather than offer prices, to save you some time?
