    I work at a school and one of the teachers in my team always leaves his CO OP reciepts on the table.

    He doesnt get the school lunch (which is free if you sit with the children - no brainer really and as I was so nice to the chef he usually gives you a bit extra) so every day buys a meal deal from CO OP. I'll have those points then haha.

    4p for me. Updated my OP.

    Added to that I can't seem to edit my signature to add my womble number. It doesn't matter if I am in 'edit your details ' or view your details (or whatever it says!) I can't change anything at all.

  • Took my DH on a date last night - for my first Womble around our local Azda. Picked up three receipts, only one of which had enough items on it and that was mine, and it was showing that everything I had bought was less than half the price of every other shop. So that was good - a bit of an eye opener for DH - but not so good on the Wombling front!
    Must try harder!

    Guessing that you can't because you might not have enough space?

    Having wombled some splendid asda receipts last year, I hopefully picked up what looked a lengthy chit, to find it was 4 lines of chocolate & 1 of nurofen. I do not approve of litter, but I was admiring of the pain management.
    Musty try harder with the McDonalds stickers...
    Happy New Year & Happy Wombling, all!

    Hi all, not really a wombling question but does any know, (not very good at explaining myself, but here goes)
    Will mr a do it's price guarantee on items that are oos in the other store? For example, my dd wanted Huggies baby wipes which were reduced in sainsbobs but got there and they were out of stock. Could she buy them for full price in mr a (with other comparable items) and get the APG?

    Hope i haven't confused you all, lol.

    I'm afraid I'm like a bad womble:o I don't really keep track of any extras, Tesco receipts convert to Avios, no idea how many they convert to.

    You'll still get statements from Tesco every mailing telling you how many air-miles you earned. Though Avios would be the ones to contact to find out how many miles you have accumulated.

    Do you fly often, or are you saving for a special trip?
