    No, I don't, not always - and sometimes I don't even think about the date on the receipt either!!:o:rotfl::rotfl:

    I see it - then I check the receipt and then don't think of it more.

    So I do initially notice it but it's then forgotten.

    It doesn't quite work in the way you may think (or doesn't always). Sometimes - and the executive functioning problem comes back in - I don't get time to check, or consider, absolutely everything - so I just press ahead, trying to get done quickly, and, unless I actively think about something - and I suspect I have to give active thought to a lot of things, in advance, than do most people - then I won't have noticed. Obviously, I did notice the receipt when I first saw it, before entering it. But then I did so and was then noticing the comparison and had no longer then been remembering the date of the receipt.

    So, it's not a question of not noticing things. I did - and I've noticed it now (thanks to a redirection from Sal!). It's that I was dealing with the task of looking at the comparison (and bearing in mind my focus on individual tasks, and the executive thing and not multitasking - I can multitask, to some extent, but it's not ideal!).

    I have an excellent rote memory. But long term and short term memory still operate in much the same way as anyone else.

    Thanks for the brief explanation :D

    Thanks op

    It's a "neck restorer" cream:think:

    Is this for people who haven't got a neck? Or people who once had a neck but have since mislaid it:o

    Dyed Chrysanthemums don't compare against Morries that are not dyed. The 'normal' Chrysanthemums there regular on £2.

    1x ASDA Dyed Chrysanthemums (EACH) £3.00 N/A

    T comp. comes with the voucher:

    1x Bisto Gravy Granules (500G) £2.00 £2.99:(
    1x Weetabix Weetos Chocolate Flavour Wheat Hoops (500G) £2.68 £1.34:)
    1x Pepsi Max Bottle (2LT) £1.00 £1.98:(

    So, they were cheaper, due to a mixed shop and an overpayment of £1.34 on the Weetos.

    Would have been cheaper to buy that Bisto and the one Pepsi at A and the Weetos at T. Although they got the wrong Bisto size in any event:rotfl::rotfl::p.

    And, literally "any event" too (at least as far IMO as appearance on an APG comp. is concerned - compares to much more expensive everywhere else!).
    Okay, I have got to go, for now, that's what I was trying to do earlier:rotfl:, but see you later:wave:.
