    Hi all just wanted to let you all know I'm still alive!

    I did manage to get 3 long days bank = around £500. Plus I have a nightshift booked on Thursday and I'm nightshift til then. Off to nights tonight so hoping to have time to come up with a plan for Wescot!!!

    Getting there slowly but surely - not too much else to be done for Christmas. Just one of Alan's brothers still to buy for and a handful of things to pick up for Cole. Home from 21st December til 2nd January so really looking forward to that :D. Also, I'm flying home a week on Monday for a week, then just have to fly back for 3 nightshifts then home for Xmas. Bliss!

    Just put the heating on cos I'm numb. Waxed one leg the other night then opened the wine........... best tackle the other leg at some point!!!!

    Not an awful lot to report on the money saving front as I'm blissfully ignorant re: the post as its all piling up at home. Stuck a few listings on ebay but not too much else to report. Loved the penny pinching programme on channel 4 the other night. Clearly I have to look further into supermarket coupons!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    BTW - no news from BBC Researcher yet - they did say in the next 2 weeks or so. Maybe they don't want us?!

    And Skint, when they asked in my interview what I would bring down under to the unit I of course replied - beautifully stitched perineums like you have never seen before ;).:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I want to get into couponing but it's a blooming shame we don't have supermarkets like they do in the USA where they can get like $1000 of shopping for less than $50!

    If anyone has any tips or hints, I'm all ears!

    Never too old - I love you:p.

    This might just be my new addiction. That woman on the Channel 4 programme was a Midwife...........maybe it runs in the business:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

    I'm going to love this - already starting printing off coupons and planning my next shop :D.

    I will get you on glitching next , now that is addictive.:eek:

    on the first few pages of that forum a shopping list is produced and updated , saying where the best place to use the coupons for the products.There is one for Mcdougal pies 50p off and the chicken and asparagus ones are £1.79 at the mo . so a pie for £1.29 you cant make one for that:D
