Afternoon all, just a quick note to say that I absolutely LOVE this site. Thanks to all your help and advice and the online/offline voucher board, I spent £11.68 in Asda yesterday but used £10.50 in vouchers (sent off for in the "great voucher hunt" thread) and only paid £1.18 - bargain!!!! I was happy all evening, much to OH's amusement hehe!!

Take care all

    Somerset Princess - I know how you feel. I bought five hair clip / bands etc from the Body shop sale today that should have cost £14.30 and I paid £1.70 ! We also went to the cinema and got a buy one get one free ticket for our next visit - hooray. Finally, I spent a book voucher on Marguerite Pattern's Jam, Preserves and Chutney book so that I can use all the lovely free fruit and veg from the garden and local bushes! OH thinks I have gone mad since I have discovered this site but he also can't believe the money we are saving! :D
  • Ah what do men know he he, they arent complaining when we save lots of money are they!!! How did you get the Body SHop offer?? Just in the sale???

    Oh Somerset,

    I'm so sorry that you stumbled upon this site cos you sound like a real nice girl.

    I'm afraid theres no stopping it now, you will probably become permanantly hooked and be completely beyond any help available. If the OH had any idea then he would pull the plug now and give the 'puter to thwe local charity shop before it's too late but that is very unlikely to happen and I'm afraid that you are now on the downward slope to obsession.

    We're all hopeless addicts!

    Riz

    Ah .. this site is a true addiction.

    You get withdrawal symptoms if you can't get on line.

    Fidget when daughter is surfing and you can't get onto the computer.

    Have to log on when you are eating breakfast ... just to say hello

    Have to log on before you go to bed (just in case there is some vital information you may have missed)

    You get excited when you find a new OS recipe and you have all the ingredients already

    ... or is it just me?
    Enjoying an MSE OS life :D
