    That makes more sense, thanks.

    As well as adding an extra 0 on the end he also got the comma in the wrong place :rotfl:

    I am only guessing redox. ;)

    It was rather a big mistake to make. :eek:

    Thanks to the op for mentioning the marmite.
    Got a jar this morning would have loved another one but there were only 6 jars left on the shelf and lots of seniors standing with their coupon and asking the cashier where it was .

    So happy with 1 and pleased with myself from resisting to get more. :rotfl:

    Cant see how to get £60 of petrol in a car either unless you are driving a tank AAU1 :eek:

    it's not that difficult really....my car quite regularly takes £55 or there abouts from an "on the flashing light" tank....and if you then have a couple of those 5lt green cans to fill at the same time theres around £65 gone.

    we are a 2 car and a 2 wheel family so its not uncommon to take 2 cars to the petrol station to fill at the same time...although the second car does have a smaller tank.
    frugal October...£41.82 of £40 food shopping spend for the 2 of us!

    2017 toiletries challenge 179 out 145 in ...£18.64 spend

    Doesn't make sense does it to exclude some but not others. :(

    Luckily mine isn't on the list so I will give it a go later.
