    well eldest son rolled his way home, his car was still in pristine condition despite being stood for 6 weeks

    what did he buy in walmart for £200 - a mini ipad :D

    They didn't get quite as far as Calgary because of the distance but he get far enough to have his hair cut and to go to walmart for a mini ipad :rotfl:

    oddly enough as eldest son was turning into our lane OH was also doing the same so they arrived back this afternoon at the same time.

    other odd coincidences - eldest son met while out on exercise an RAF chap he also knew 2 years ago in Cyprus. At Brize Norton when he came back into the Uk he met someone he went to the local ATC about 7 years ago so he has now caught up with what everyone is now doing, nearly all of them gone into the services of some sort.

    so we took eldest son to Pizza Express and used up the last 2 of my Nectar double up vouchers - these gave 2 main meals for £5 of nectar points and expired today. Although there was 3 of us instead of 4 they allowed us to have the extra fourth meal so we got a chicken Cesar salad to share.
    so we just paid for a starter - 4 mains worth about £40 cost 4000 nectar points instead.
    (yes this is how it worked out, never realised until today I had just 2 vouchers left over)

    and then we went to Neros for hot drinks, 2 hot chocolates and a chai latte, nearly £9 worth but I had 3 of the Nectar Neros free drink vouchers which cost me 150 points total and the nice assistant stamped my loyalty card.

    a cheap afternoon and everyone well fed and very happy :T

    We went to pizza express the other night and used our vouchers, we ordered 4 pizzas, one garlic bread side and had 4 drinks, OMG the garlic bread was tiny it was like a bread roll, we were gobsmacked, and the price of it was disgusting was around £3.50 :eek:

    When the bill came, it was around £55.00 we were :eek: at that aswell, really dont know how people pay full price for pizza. The waitress had forgotten to take our vouchers off the bill.

    Coke and Fanta do not work in the same shop!

    Coke is glitching 30p a bottle picks up 2 for £3 and 2 for £2 in asda and matches tesco any 2 for 1

    Fanta is glitching about 4p a bottle at £1.85 each but 2 for £2 in asda. and matching morrisons any 2 for 1

    Both offers are not showing in store but you might want to check with CS first. But I have not heard of any with the new price. This will work till midnight!

    I will post my results at 8.30 for 10 x 2 of the same.
