Bizarre conversation tonight when he arrived to watch I'm a celeb....

'Mum, did you name me after a font?'

I'm thinking...churches....christenings....what's he going on about?

Then he told me he'd been editing a document on his computer and whilst he was looking for a suitable font for the text, he found one that is the same as his middle name :rotfl::rotfl:

I resisted the temptation to let him think I'd named him after a computer font and told him the name came from one of OH relations who was named after a font He accepted this, we watched I'm a celeb and he went to bed. He came downstairs at 11pm and said 'I think you're lying to me mum, fonts weren't even invented when uncle xxxx was born' :rotfl::rotfl:

So much for the BG being "useless":D. This might be one of the exceptions...:):):) So, here it is - my shop from tonight. Let's just pretend we're still on Friday all night okay:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: (why ruin a good thing?;):cool:).

I wasn't quite used to this "TBG at the SS machine" thing, having not done that before, and scanned a pack of the Tangfastics twice:eek:(:laugh:). The bill was at over £20 and I was trying to get the beggar to come down to the wanted under £2 amount. They require you to 'commit' yourself just a little further before paying though - and I needed to put the bags number (zero:rotfl:) into the machine. It then magically, by some weird spell that I managed to cast over the machine:D:D, dropped to £1.86!:j (I didn't though - I was trying to be as inauspicious as possible, so deffo no jumping occurred at the store!)

The bill was stubbornly above £20 though and I thought maybe I haven't scanned all the items and got 10, so I scanned the Haribo Tangfastics (still had in my hand) again. I didn't actually take two packs with me - so paid 20p and got just one pack. Thank goodness those Haribo prices at the competitor were taken down correctly!:rotfl: Morries doesn't have Giant Sour Stripes does it?:rotfl::rotfl:

I did well on these though, managing to make these 8p total between them:

1x SEASONAL NEW LOOSE POTATOES
0.030kg £0.06 n/a n/a n/a
1x BANANAS LOOSE
0.176kg £0.12 n/a n/a n/a
1x CARROTS LOOSE CLASS 1
0.033kg £0.02 n/a n/a n/a

So, with my banana (a bit big:rotfl: - but not as big as the 'mistake' of one I made at Mr A - 13p there:eek::rotfl:), the three items were 20p. Could have had two items at 10p costing 20p, but managed to have three instead. So, averages out at my 10p per filler item anyway even though I paid twice for a single Tangfastics pack. Do you think I ought to go back and claim the Tangfastics pack that I bought but didn't take from the shelf with me? Er, nah, leave it!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::T:T:D:j:j

Many thanks to the OP. Normally, I don't even go for Coke glitches as we don't really use the stuff, but for that amount at this price...:D:D:T
