Just joined Bebivita - mocs & weaning spoons - hopefully!

I just got a package with a weening spoon, very disappointing. Hope you have more luck.

Have just found this pdf file for a London mag and on page 66/67 there is a 40p coupon with a 99 barcode for Ecover. Scroll down a bit more and there is another mention of the coupon which I am thinking that if this was printed booklet style would work out to be on the rear of the first coupon. If it is poss to use this coupon I am not sure how to join them up if you see what I mean.

Nice one....I printed the front, then turned my paper over and printed the back...comes out like a m/facturers coupon...used quite a lot of green ink...but not 40p worth

I printed it but the barcode was not good for me.
As said in my bestest Shaw Taylor voice keep em peeled' there will be MOC soon.
I will incorporate a MOC dance in my celebrations tonight when Man U win.
I shan't be around for the champers & chocs tonight Princess but enjoy all the same.

really depends on the sales assistant in my store. My average is about 20 - 25 coupons if its a good sa. If i'm unsure of the s.a I take minimum amount of shopping and hand over a couple. If they take them and scan them I say "oh, I have a couple more of those" and hand over a few more. Sometimes I just make friendly conversation with them, while they are scanning the coupons......but i try not to talk too much as I dont want them to loose concentration while scanning the coupon as they may miss one (this happenend to me last week). i looked at the receipt there and then and pointed out what had happend. sa was apologetic and looked in his till and saw his mistake.....

Yes, it is really quite an art to be good at the small talk while keeping an eagle-eye on the cashier and packing your shopping just to insure a coupon isn't missed!!:cool: I've had this happen to me a few times and it is really annoying when I don't realize it until I've left the store!:mad:

Ive just been fiddling around with it and have found if you save the whole document first you can then use the snapshot tool and save each part separately to a word document one directly above the other although the barcode seems a bit iffy. It would save on a bit of ink though, any further ideas would be appreciated.

Mine never scan when I use Word,the barcode always comes out blurred...I'll see if the one I've done scans OK first, much prefer to have 'em scanned than waiting for SA to offer to type it in...can play around with it...I reckon VC will know what to do...he's my techie idol. :A..I'm so not worthy....:D

Yes I know VC is quite techie, hopefully he will have a suggestion. I have since found that if you do the same as I said before that is save it to your pc and use the snapshot tool to select the coupon and not the whole page, you can print once the section of the coupon is shaded by right clicking and clicking print. First you print one side then turn over the paper and print the other. The barcode looks much better than in word.

You need to be careful when cutting out the coupon, watching both sides as its quite hard to get them to coincide spot on but basically my coupon looks ok. Its a bit long winded though.
