I’m pleased you like it.....we are enjoying it too:)

I needed to reach into the back of a cupboard I don’t often visit and found these bad boys. Some nearly 4 years out of date. I think they were fillers during the big APG glitch. I seem to think they were 11p. Was that right?

Anyway I never ate them while they were in date never mind OOD. In the bin they go.


How wasteful I was back then:o

My gs eats the noodles as snacks all the time..so they are always our fillers:)

Break the noodles up and add them to soup.

Thanks to Snap I had a mouch around our bigger Ts today, looking at bedding etc, found some RTCs on the end of the aisle, floral duvet set, single, clearly marked at £3.75, bought 2, which I do want for when GDs come to stay, they are a bit too old cartoon character bedding now!
They went through at £15 each:eek:/:j
Off I toddler to Customer Services, SA gives me £22.50 cash, even though I paid by card. I asked if I should have had double the difference for an overcharge. She said it wasn't an overcharge, they had been moved along the shelf, I said they hadn't been when I was there and the shelf edge label, which she had in her hand, matches the product.. off she goes to find out, comes back, move to a different til and she starts scanning and cancelling and bleeping again and again. Then asks me how much she gave me before - I wrote down the sums so she could see £22.50, more scanning and pinging, she gave me my receipt back, unmarked (?) which was good for me as I have COS items on it, then she hands me £30, cash. Now whilst I like owt for nowt and a bargain I wouldn't want to be seen as fraudulent(!) or for her till to be wrong so I said, I think you've short changed yourself and showed her the sums again, she just looked puzzled and shook her head. I said well, if you're happy I'm happy!:j Oh yes she said. I said do you need to mark my receipt and she said no.

Just thinking, if I was really fraudulent I could return the 2 sets and get £30 back. I actually like them and they are just the colour I want.

Is it possible to print more than one of these, please?

Not normally, maybe tweeking Nortun Utilities might manage it, would probably wipe all your cookies and saved passwords, I haven't tried.

On what?

I've tried this twice. A few years back I used up my last big lump sum for P&O - more like an overlarge deposit which took about half the final cost and I thought that would be it, I would never collect enough ever again.
Then when I checked last year I had accumulated another £100 or so which I could convert into £300. I was trying to decide at the time between similarly priced P&O and a Cunard cruise - similar dates, ports, one less day length. The Cunard ship, Elizabeth we had not been on before but on Cunard we get invites to 2 parties, small internet package and enough OBC to cover the cost of about 2 and a half excursions. The Cunard one was slightly more expensive. On Ventura it was cheaper, one extra day length and slightly less OBC. I watched the prices for some time and they were stable. In the end we decided to go for the Cunard ship and have an inside cabin and the £300 deals bridged the gap

Now I've got about £20 - might use them for plants and seeds.

I have never used them on a cruise, I always wanted to, and should really have used them on the last one I booked, as I used the normal price, not the 'saver' price like I usually do.
I have spent them on red spotted hankie vouchers for my trains down to S/ton. Just need the vouchers to be added to my account now so I can get them booked.

It's really not the hard to work out double the difference. She worked the difference out as £22.50 which is correct. Why is it so hard to double that ? ("i'll give you the same again") Staggering how bad many people are at primary school maths.
