    Ha. I started a really similar thread in the discussion thread. I have just been trying to find you the link and cannot find it. ???
    I know what you mean. Its a nightmare - I am not sure how money saving I do anymore - am better at finding bargains to spend it all on instead. Ooops :D

    I am addicted too. I am a stay at home mum and use this website all the time. Even when i am doing the housework the chat page is up and as i go past the pc every so often i refresh the page. I do use other formus as well though, but this is the only one that saves me money!! ::)

    I can't have a convasation without telling somebody about the website, I saved my bro money on the travellodge deal and now he's hooked. I even sent an important email at work last week to as bloke I speak to on a regular basis, we get talking about our kids and I put at the bottom of the email that baby wipes were on offer at safeway.................................

    Thank god im not the only one, I too have become semi- permenantly glued to this site.  Having been forced to give up work to stay at home since my son  injured himself ( hes fine now - but not had the final say so cant be left with holiday/out of school club) this is the first site i go to and stay logged on all day. My pc's in my kitchen/dining room so I just refresh as I pass by.  

    My only complaint is that its costing me money!!

    This is because i think to meself I'll have a cuppa now and catch up on the postings - boil kettle - sit down - read - remember tea - boil kettle - read - remember - boil kettle - etc.   I once managed SIX boilings before i got my cuppa, my leccy bill is gonna be huge and its all your fault  ! ;)

    All you people out there with your freebies, good ideas, moneyoff thingies, etc, i blame you all.

    I want to be a good saver, but I find it difficult to control my temptation to spend :o .

    I owe £1,247 more than I have in savings :( .
