    Using ipad sorry previous post is a bit messy, the last bit should have been in the middle somewhere, but i made a spelling mistake and hit the wrong thing when I tried an insert...should have said the £40 and £50 shops for 2p were the norm...that was pre Black Friday.....

    Even though you can get 2 by hitting the back button I never do, it does actually tell you not to hit the back button on couponnet......
  • Do you have a spare rewards club number from Sunday 19th Feb edition of Mial on Sunday.

    If so please PM me, I didn't get to a newsagent yesterday.

    Cheers

    I should have said if you had more than one PC or computer and one was blocked then the other worked, so they had actually blocked your computer, it was very worrying knowing they could do that.My laptop was paid for within a month with the use of mocs though as there were loads around at that time and T's took 1 of each for every shop and you never had to buy the product, PDF's were wonderful....used just go to my desktop list of them and print off 1 of each everytime I left the house, call at T's and spend their value on whatever took my fancy.....went fishing every week with a newspaper,pop,sweets, sarnies, crisps and the latest fishing weeklies or monthlys and never paid a
    penny.....
  • has anyone had anything other than vouchers today on ssm?

    pre Black Friday........those were the days, I remember your fishing trips very well Bully :)


    Veggiecar got me back up and running again too - it was a complete nightmare

    It does not work for me when I push back button - 1 coupon only for me - and I posted genuine tips and thumbed the ones that were of interest to me and then to help others

    CW won't say but it was VC and her son who got us going after warbygate;) I remember refreshing and refreshing to see if any updates on it all day:eek:There was a lot of carp chatter on the coupon thread that day while we were waiting. Hmmmmmm wonder if BT was the Board guide then:cool:

    Those were the days, Bully was even on personal terms with her store manager and went to his office for tea and cakes:D Guess who is still using tetley tea bags from those days;) Yep OOD but still taste good.:D The only thing I could get my OH to go to the shop for using coupons. He used to visit Tesco when he went past a couple of times a week and buy 240 tea bags for 2p:D I am at the moment using a laptop which I bought using coupons. My favourite coupons in black friday days were the pruina £4.99 ones:j:j

    Just starting to come around again from a busy weekend starting from no sleep fri night. I just hope it is worthwhile and we get the prizes. Mine still say processing, but I have no reports or anything. I keep going into it and clicking on any replies I have had. Going back to catch up on posts now.
    Be thankful for what you have because it could all be taken away tomorrow.;)

    The two lovely 50p cif pdf's spring to mind:D MT and others go on about not changing coupons/printing just the coupon/so many to a page etc but in those days a lot of regulars used to fit so many pdf's to a page and then let others have a copy if they couldn't do it (like me:o).

    Hi Farmville. I got to sleep at 7am this morning cos I think I was too tired to sleep. I keep having a couple of naps today but still tired. Like Bully I'm not counting on the prizes, but supersavyme do say they are genuine and I think more likely with them reducing the top prizes. If they were still giving out all the best stuff I would think no chance but a bit hopeful. I still remember my not getting my £1,000 velvet win so will be happyish with all the coupons for the moment. They did say they could take up to 28 days.
