Ok totally off topic -

Am feeling really low at the moment - my ex husband got engaged this week! Don't get me wrong am totally NOT bothered about that! Thing is my 7 year old daughter is going to be bridesmaid and I am so jealous. Every girl dreams of being a bridesmaid and she now has the dream come true but it's something I cannot be part of at all


Does that make any sense?

this might make you feel better my son is 17 with a gambling addiction and he has got me in debt by 45k,somebody is always worse off than you.
If i had not found this site and the help on here i dont know how i would survive.

Thanks Jake ... I know but have tried 3 stores and haven't found a copy ... how easy are they to get hold of?

They should be easy, ask at CS, if they dont have copies mention the voucher, if they can't help I'd suggest buying the product and emailing CS about the voucher not being in stock at any local. If that doesnt work return the knives and repurchase with till split

I know it's bad to quote myself, but I just won - Yay! It lets you have several goes and all you have to do is put together 3 9-piece jigsaws.

All you have to do is put the pieces together it has just taken me an hour and lost of frustration to win you must be good.:)

I'm sure we must have been there at the same time but I didn't recall seeing anyone with an obvious "baby bump" but did see some "large" people:o. What were you wearing?

ha large! one was probably me my bump is not obviously a bump I've just kind or grown 360 degree. I always have baby bump envy. My backside and legs get huge. however on the plus side i deflate quite nicely and quickly. to be honest i just look LARGE, Im pretty much living in some bloody awful white pregnancy pants. I'm having a ceremonial burning in the back garden when the baby arrives.( so if you see large flames over stockton in the next few days you know why) I've out grown everything! Was thinking of doing a pop to hartlepool later will let you know if its worth a jolly past. Anyhow hopefully baby will make an appearance soon.

so buy 2 of the special 2 packs (ie 4 pizzas) for £5.36, use your £1 MOC from price flop leaflet so you pay £4.36, price check then gives yo a voucher for £3.36 = 25pence per pizza!

TOTAL£ 5.36£ 2.00 2 x GOODFELLA'S STONEBAKED THIN PEPPERONI 340G £ 5.36 £ 2.00

i've not done it yet so you're safe tweets:rotfl:

big hugs to freddiesmum i've been in a unhappy marraige for years but realised I just couldn't live without him, he is a lazy so and so but i admit he is good with the kids and at least he isn't an alcoholic, stay strong....please go and see a solictor as tweets suggests you would be surprised how many rights the system gives to a mother........i wasn't aware the maintenance money a mother gets doesn't count as savings so she can still get full benefits etc. Also in 99% of cases the judge always favours the mother and she would get the family home-at least until your child was 16yrs old.


Soooooooooooooooo my day today.........

found an expired petrol coupon in my handbag BOO GRRRRR!!!!!!

working first thing, then onto 1st T's..............single lonely rail of £1 clothing got a couple of black polonecks and headed to 2nd T's .....few ladies cardi's size 6 (perfect for my mum to give away abroad).......................onto 3rd T's timed it perfectly 3 massive rails of £1 stuff loads of boys hooded T shirts and fleeces

used 2 £6 off £40 till spits and £5 DM coupon 60 odd items came down to £40 ish pounds:T:T:T

also managed to pick up some of those fly trap packs 1p can post details if anyone doesn't know but this is an old clipstrip item

also found some Bahama &co bamboo car airfresheners were £3 RTC 37p smell gorgoeus, these were in the petrol kiosk not main store

also saw loads of duracell in one store but didn't dare get DTD as stupidly just returned a toy with a receipt that had overcharges all over it (been in my car 3 weeks and desperate to get rid of it to a not so local store)will go back later when different CS hopefully on

And best news of the day (i'm so sad:rotfl:) I managed to get 7 cards on the WHSmith glitch-one sgtore said only one per person, 2nd store waited until dopey looking SA was freeand i managed 7 before the manager on the next till saw me and said one per person -neither store said anything about not being able to buy a gift card with a gift card though!
3rd store SA said straight away I could only buy with cash. Best thing is till spits out a 20% off next purchase with each transaction-which i kept giving back to her for the next card lol. I have total respect for those who managed >50+ cards, I was sweating buckets at 7 lol:rotfl::A:T

right two favours please

i npticed the silentnight thermal duvets and pillows OOd SEL finished on 2.3.12 I took the pillows to checkout but came up at offer price:( please could anyone going out test the price of the duvets pretty please -they are those navy coloured packs that were glitching earlier in the year

2nd favour if anyone is twiddling there thumbs with nothing to do please could you give me a few thumbs ups on SSM

Phew ... LOs and mum having nap ... I'm exhausted and just can't think straight so I need a bit of advice on how best to spend my last £5 wys £40 DM coupon :money:

I'm collecting vouchers for the knives (have got 1 block so far) and have 3 vouchers (need another 2 for 1st knife to go in block)

Is it poss to do a £40 spend (inc knife @ £16.99) ... use my £5 MOC ... get the 2 knife vouchers (cos it's a £40 shop) ... and then use the 2 vouchers straight away to get the £12 knife discount (all in the same transaction)??

Now I really don't need anything so it's a strategic shop to use coupon ... and my shopping list is (at the mo) a bit short of £40:

1 x knife £16.99 (less £12.00)
5 x McCain Smiles £5.00 (less £2.50 coupons) (Asda £1.32 x 5 = £6.60)
2 x Goodfellas Pizza £5.36 (less £1 price flop coupons) (Asda £2.00)
1 x Birds Custard 80p (Asda 80p)
2 x Bread (Hovis Best of Both) £2.50 (less 50p multibuy) (Asda £1.25 each no multibuy offer)
3 x Easter eggs £7.50 (less £5 multibuy)

Total: £38.10

I'm thinking the goodfellas pizza should go in a separate basket to get the JTD but not sure.

If I don't separate I need to spend another [STRIKE]£9.35[/STRIKE] £1.90 ... any suggestions??

Total sepnd after coupons and multibuys = £38.10 - £26(ish) = £14(ish) + poss £1.xx JTD

TIA

EDIT to add eggs

Probably a good idea if your going for a JTD as you need to watch out with the easter eggs, as even though some of them don't compare, they still take into account the B1G2F. Only one of mine compared the other day and the other 2 N/A but they still had the one that did compare at 83p. Sneaky boogers that they are hth's
