    Hi folks

    This is difficult to write, because I don't want to upset people - and I DON'T want to be misunderstood. What I'm going to say is said with the best of intentions. :T

    Basically, I've noticed in recent days/weeks that the content of the posts in the thread have been going hugely off-topic. That's fine in itself - it's all fun and games, etc. But it takes ages to wade through all the non-relevant stuff to get to the important stuff (like new coupons, or important coupon-related news) in order to update the 1st page. For example, today there were almost 5 and a half pages of new posts (over 210 posts). That's A LOTTA stuff to read through! LOL! :p

    There's NO WAY I want the thread to be split again!!! Honestly!!! That's not what I'm saying. But maybe if we can just trim down the random chat just a weeeee bit please? :rolleyes:

    I don't want people to feel reluctant to post. But maybe just have a think beforehand and decide whether your post is coupon-related chat or not? :A

    Thanks for reading.

    Sorry honey, point taken. I think that there was a lot of chat today cos we were all waiting for news from VC and couponwoman's son, so were keeping VC and ourselves amused whilst things were being sorted.

    By the way, quoting long posts takes up a lot of a page :rolleyes: :D:rotfl:
    Be thankful for what you have because it could all be taken away tomorrow.;)

    goodnight (again!)
    Any success stories with couponnet printing....I'd love to hear them.
    Any upsets.....leave them on the techy thread:D


    Just off for a 12 hour 'shift' but have left the instructions with the more technically minded OH and will report back this evening. Many thanks for the time and effort put in by you, CouponWoman and her son.

    Mortgage-free Glee!
    Didn't manage to get on the forum this weekend - very busy! :D - Tesco, BBQ, Tesco, McFly, Tesco, Father's Day - never stopped :rotfl: and then I came on to have a look at the forum and there was 27 pages to read :eek: - I shall have a trawl through as I still enjoy a laugh - have to agree with Honey though as it seems to be taking longer and longer to read through it all.
    Coupon chat - Managed to do quite well at my local T's this weekend, they were less strict on the number of coupons again but just stuck to the 75%, so got 11, 7.89 and 7.50 off. The final shop on Sunday was for 3 bottles of wine which were over 5 pound each on a 3 for a tenner, finally paid 2.50 - yay!
    If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try - oh bu99er that just cheat :D

    Hi Guys
    With respect and in appreciation to Honey and all her hard work, might I make a suggestion? (Blimey, sounds a bit formal, you can tell I'm at the office!). How about when somebody posts a new MOC or info which requires amendment to top page, they type in a nice blue which stands out a mile.
    If there is general agreement that this is a good idea and that's what we start to do there will, no doubt, be people who don't do it in which case those in the know could post a thanks to the original useful post, quoting the post number and typing in blue.
    If you think it's a rubbish idea, I'll cry.
