    so if i buy 30 sun newspapers i will get 30 light bulbs..plus the £2. moc

    do you think they will give me 30 ?....lol...

    You should actually be getting 60 light bulbs as it is 2 bulbs per paper while stocks last, though you might want to try several shops if you are after that quantity, LOL.

    If anyone's interested, this is how it works in our local ASDA: You buy the Sun, then you take your receipt to Customer Services who will give you two 60 W bulbs wrapped up together with a Sun sticker on it and Win a car! Plug in. You win. With Southern Electric. Find the green light and you have a chance of winning an eco-car! on it. Not quite sure how that works but apparently if one of the lights glow green you have the chance of winning a Toyota Prius. Definitely buy 30 papers then, cooltrikerchick, LOL!

    I literally staggered from the Newsagent today as not only did I have a number of papers and lightbulbs but she gave me two boxes full of ' Great Expectations' books for school:rotfl: - one of the less successful recent promotions! Also told me that next weekend the Sun is giving away series one and two of Only Fools and Horses. Unbelievable.:confused:

    Went to 3 tesco's this morning - and no vitamins to be seen. Apparantly there were a few on the selves early on, but seems as if our lot got to them :rolleyes:

    This may be region specific - the copy I purchased in SE London didn't have a loose leaflet in the TV plastic bag for Nicorette - just the usual loans, banks and health insurance clutter-up-your-bin type leaflets. :confused:
    Yep, mine is east anglia ed, and I had no plastic bag, couple of flyers for sky and buy our "lovely" stuff from the sun, also had 3 argos vouchers in the paper and can not find a nicorette voucher anywhere, gutted cos I didnt buy enough last week.
