Last week I found a fingernail in my yogurt. Blee. My first thought - compensation money - into the pot!

I wrote a VERY stiff letter of complaint to the company in question demanding immediate compensation for a such a great trauma. After all I discovered the thing when it was already in my mouth. Blee Yuk.

All the while the pound signs flashed before my eyes, thinking about the £100's that I would get in compensation that I could add to the W4W pot.

After agreeing to send in the yogurt and fingernail 'for analysis' I today received a letter...I was trembling slightly as I opened it in expectation of see a very large number on a cheque. What did I get? £5! apparently the way it burnt demonstrated that it was in fact a fruit pip husk.

Whoops.

But hey, £5 extra in the pot eh?!

Alison has had a similar moment of fundraising planning nearing on the obsessional - her younger daughter today spilt VAST quantities of milk over a large area including several items of furniture and rugs etc. Alison's' first thought was apparently of the cash back she could generate replacing all the furniture through cash back websites and therefore...you guessed it...more money in the pot!

So there you have it. This thing is taking over our lives in a way totally un-anticipated! Great isn't it!?
