    Now One Poll have weirded me out by inserting a random question about whether I am a Santander customer into the middle of a survey about emotional attachments to cars (which was weird enough on its own without them putting that in there). No follow-up questions or explanation - just straight back on with the survey after that 🤣!
    Wonder if that was the real survey...

    So I've just been to Sainsbury's for a couple of bits and bought:
    1 vegetable pizza
    2l fizzy water 
    1 loaf of bread
    1 red onion
    1 tin of chopped tomatoes....
    .... And apparently that shop counted as 61 portions of fruit and veg for the Nectar challenge 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️?

    I honestly can't believe they're counting the pizza, but they must be based on that???
