Today I was out a wombling and also a bit of freegan thrown in. In one supermarket I saw £3.05 in the reject hopper of the coinstar counting machine.I then hit the poundshop bin and went on to get another 12 bottles of cola, this time Diet Coke brand. Obviously I needed a trolley, and found one with a pound still in it. I then went on a bit, sometimes I have to buy food so nipped into Lidle, where I picked up peppers, noodles and mushrooms. When I attempted to pay for it, the till stopped registering my money at 3p, but I had put in 9p. I called over the attendant and explained. She pressed some buttons, and went the next step up. The supervisor opened the till, found 3p and gave it back to me. Then she looked at the screen, and said Oh it's done, you paid. Errrr OK! So I have! She then apologised and said I couldn't have a receipt. That's fine.... I then went on to hit a favourite charity shop and got a lovely throw and a fleece. Not too bad so far

Wow, have you bought a lottery ticket? I bought one for the first time in ages. I only stopped for fuel and normally the bloke asks "do you want a lottery ticket" and normally I don't bother. As he didn't ask me this time and I was expecting him to, I decided to buy one for once. Vannie, can you send some good luck vibes this way?

Ecobob, happy to send some good luck your way:b I didn't get a lottery ticket, got one yesterday and didn't win so can't be bothered. I did find a tiny plastic black panther, just before I got the trolley with the pound in it.

I hope you know that artificial sweeteners found in diet Coke cause brain damage.

I play the Euro millions once a month, the last half dozen times I didn’t get a single number, so any luck going spare, send it my way.

It's the ascetic acid in. Diet coke that erodes your teeth.

It's the ascetic acid in. Diet coke that erodes your teeth. There isn't any acetic acid in Diet Coke... there's phosphoric acid, and citric acid... both of which will rot teeth... Somewhat misleadingly, the Coke website implies phosphoric acid is good for teeth, because phosphorus is a component of healthy teeth!!!!
