    Good afternoon tweets DS is a very good driver so no worries really for me .I have just ploughed through the pile of mail that accumelated whilst I was away and had to smile;)as one envelope asked me to renew my provisional license I have had for years due to reaching 70 years shortly and the next one enclosed my Freedom pass for the next 5 Years:T

    :D I have to wait til I am 66 for my free bus pass that's if they don't finish them :( before I get there ;)

    I did try driving once and instructor nearly had heart attack :eek::rotfl::rotfl:
  • Afternoon all.

    Thought I'd try my hand at the betfair thing. Deposited £20, played through it, and won £40. :T

    However, its only letting me withdraw £20, which I've done, but still showing as £20 on my account. Can I not withdraw that amount because its the value of my original deposit? Do I have to play through that (and probably lose this time!)?

    Thanks all.

    Yes, there will be a play through rule on the money, could be 2 or 3 times your deposit. As you say, you could play it through and get lucky, or lose it. But given it's free money anyway at least you've nothing to lose

    As for my own shopping - doing rather well, as usual. Had a total of about £8 APG across two sep. shops - I'm going down the 'buy one egg at a time at full £5' route and compare vs T at £1.50. Yesterday I bought the Mars & Friends egg, as highest weight I could see among the comparing items:D:D - today I've gone for the Teasers at 23p straight more expensive:eek:, on weight adjustment according to msm - that's what the weight costs people on A's straight pricing, as I prefer that to the Marvellous Creations and don't want two Mars & Friends ones:cool:. (I suspect the extra weight is due to the 51g Mars bars though - but really quite a rip-off:rotfl: as they are only worth 6.25p each on T's 4 pack 25p price recently.)

    All numbers matched on a.com and msm and I do not believe there is a trigger - however 10% off T's £1.50 pricing is extremely good. Cost is £1.35 each, making two £2.70. All it would be, if there was a trigger, is three eggs for the same cost as two (£2.70) which, yes, you could then have divided by 3 to say the eggs were each cheaper - however any trigger might not have been as large as the large eggs in the deal but could have been one of those small 85g:( ones, so it would be hardly have been that great if had it been available. Best just going vs T's price, as that's a very good price!

    Now, when did I last buy Yazoo Vanilla milkshake?:rotfl:

    I saw the price of 50p was still on them today and, after initially thinking maybe it's one too far, I did go for it - but used the bread I needed and a banana as distraction items. So that obviously I didn't know I was being overcharged at the time. CS was a different one from last time, but I've seen her before - will have to wait at least a year now before any further misprices with her!:eek: I thought I'd then use my last GC but increase my stake to £4, so that I could do a cereal bars Morries shop with filler items. Got another £2 GC no problem. It's the Crunchy Nut Corn Flakes I really want:rotfl::D. So, quite a good day so far. Useful as there's more than one person here in my house - so that someone else can have a milkshake as well now.

    Yes, but it's great fun coming down :D We have a steep hill locally, have only dared go on it once for a 10 mile ride into a different town, going down I am sure I broke the speed limit (30), but going up I ran out of gears and did not quite make it, ended up walking a short way but not too far :)
