    If it's the same as last time, inputting the code on the box generated a coupon to your email for you to print. T&c not visible on website yet as promo doesn't start until 5th April. But box says coupons valid for 14 days from print date.

    Thanks.
    My printer is not wonderful at the moment despite being nearly new and having a change of inks.:mad:
    So I don't think I'll bother this time.
    Plus we've only recently used the last pepperoni one!

    Coupon in the March T magazine for £3 off when you spend £20 on clothing.

    Nearly April and my store had only just had 3 pallets of March magazines in!

    Organised or what.....

    There is a big gang of Elite close to Wrexham - well at least 2 :)

    Then you can easily get to Liverpool and Chester via train for the big shops and all points south and north for hols and weekends away.

    And you also have North Wales for seaside breaks

    And some good National Trust places within easy driving distance :)

    And across the Welsh border you get free prescriptions and free bus passes at 60 :)

    Yes come to Wrexham lol Nellie and I will show you round :D

    I'll miss my bus pass, that's for sure, as they issue them around here at 60, so at present, just knowing I have it is quite reassuring - I've mostly used it for town trips and on my rare expeditions into Liverpool. So yes, a foothold in Wales could be handy till I get my full pass in 3 and a half years time.

    And I've already told DD she must yank me across the border the minute I reach my 80s as they cap all individual care costs there at £65 a week. :D

    But I'm very drawn towards Oswestry/Shrewsbury at present...

    Is the £1 coupon on the box,
    or is it a print yourself again?
    Tia.

    Box says:

    Make midweek matter. Enjoy a midweek treat with every pack. Win up to £10 off your shop to get a little something for yourself. Perhaps set the scene with flowers while you dine on our delicious fresh pizzeria taste or treat yourself to a post-dinner DVD. Whatever you do, make midweek matter to you. Plus get £1 off your next pizza with every pack. Visit pizzaristorate.co.uk/midweek for more details. (But it's just a holding page at present.)

    main t&c: entries close 31 May 2017, £1 off voucher valid for 14 days from date of voucher generation against Dr O pizza. Enter code online, internet access and printer required. (so it is print yourself, curl girl).

    You can also retweet #makemidweekmatter and win stuff but I don't do twitter.

    Hope this helps. Slightly stunned that I am first with all this info. That happens so rarely.

    Have you ever thought of writing a book about your family mhoc.

    You could easily pass it off as fiction, no-one would ever believe it was real :eek:

    Ive always said its like living in a very badly written sit com which has been cobbled together by a very immature intern with a re accuring hangover who barely scraped through uni :)
    Going out of the house is a bad idea but so is staying in, there is no escaping, the madness is relentless :) LOL
