    6 days since 27 April:

    10 3 5 9 7 15 = 49

    So 7 average.

    6 days - 2, 10, 11, 7, 5, 15.

    Averaging out so far at 8.33 per day.

    So on the low side of what the previous entitlement was.

    Is there any way of fiddling the wheel or has it already been done for us!

    That would be 8.16 average over 6 days. 49/6 = 8.166 rec

    Better than you thought but still not great!

    Ideally I'd like to see it averaging out at 10 which is what we were getting before the "exciting wheel of fortune".

    I'm still trying to find out how I should get excited about it!

    After 8 days -10, 6, 10, 15, 9, 3, 15, 9 - Total of 77
    77/8 = 9.6
    So for me almost double on average the 5 points a day I was getting.

    That's obviously good if you aren't a subscriber.  I am.  So I was getting double points, (10/day), as a subby.

    Anything less than that is a deficit.

    I'm amazed anyone subscribes to the DM.  GB News is free if you feel the need to receive a dose of Right Wing Rant.

    I guess it all balances out.

    I wouldn't read the Daily Mirror and I wouldn't wipe my backside with the Guardian.

    But there you go.

    When GB News starts giving Nectar points I'll think about it.

    My last 6 days points have been:-
    Today 1
    Tuesday 1
    Monday 5
    Sunday 4
    Saturday 0 - Wheel failed to appear
    Friday 3
    That's an average of 2.333 points a day for the last 6 days.
    Have I just been unlucky, or after a generous start, was introducing the wheel just a way for paying out less Nectar points?
