    I know this been answered but when I saw this question, my initial response was that I bloody well hope not - bristol to Edinburgh is a long way to go to go one stop on a train :rotfl::rotfl:

    Ha Ha....the only reason I ask is because theres an option to pick up at any station.
    I have sent a different child each time on the train as its a nice little outing for them :)
    but I have never had my nectar points and forgot to chase it up, on 1 occasion I picked my tickets up from a local station, and on another I didn't.
    so im wondering 3rd time lucky???

    Just thinking out loud, but how did we miss the Droid promo until towards the end of last year? I see the current Droid Pay Tap started in October, so it was maybe a month in when we found out, but the HeSBC promo was on for 6 months with sign up from June 13th :(.

    Only robertsons in mine and still £1.49. Came away with nothing. Lost my shopping mojo. Came home £5 richer than I went out. found £3 on ground and £2 in trolleys. No woopsies as could not be bothered to wait as so cold. still no crisps or yogs. I must do better. Just had a wonderful 1.5 hours sleep.
    Will try for some of the above tomorrow night if they are still some left & the snow keeps away.

    Sent you a pm elaine:)
