    Hi there, don't know if this is the right place to post on here, but thought it relevant as some mentioned tesco petrol coupon, but I've just read that they are going to give a voucher for 10p off a litre if you buy 2 9 packs of andrex loo rolls as of tomorrow.

    have only just found this thread, but it's very addictive isn't it, should be studying but am totally engrossed!

    Thanks :)

    Morning everyone,

    Very dull here today also. I have just looked out my kitchen window and there is a hedgehog in the garden running round and round in a tight circle not more than about 12 inches in diameter! He has been doing this for about 10 minutes now, there must be something wrong with him I think. Has anyone else ever seen this?

    Unless it's got a serious leg injury I'd suggest it's had a stroke, or perhaps a brain injury having been hit by a car.

    You could try here - probably put you in touch with your nearest rescue centre - offer advice at least

    Hedgehogs frequently walk or run around in quite large circles and they are often spotted doing it in gardens and parks etc. When the circles are small then we get concerned though and start to suspect injuries or illness

    one of the common causes seems to be ear infections, sometimes caused by mites where the hedgehog becomes unbalanced and can't walk in straight lines and only circles.

    Genmod55 - hope the wee hedgehog is ok.

    Savvyjade - I know what you mean about ending up with diff piles - I find it the most frustrating thing of sorting that once it's all done and in piles, the place looks worse than it did when everything was hidden until you can get rid of it all.

    Unheard of for a while but a coupon spend free weekend for me :eek: actually had to buy some things I didn't have coupons for - my that was a shock to the system :rotfl: Heatwave apparently coming this week, don't blink or you'll miss summer!

    no i haven't. sounds like he is ill, Call the RSPCA and see what they suggest. Although these days they don't seem very helpful.

    Thanks for all your suggestions. In the end I phoned the RSPCA and a very nice lady came out but unfortunately by the time she arrived the hedgehog had gone under a pile of logs and couldn't be found. If he comes out again I am to put a cardboard box over him and call them back. She seemed to think that he might have been hit by a car although there was certainly no evidence of any injury. Very strange though, he must have been exhausted as he had been going round and round in a tight circle for at least 4 hours! Anyway hopefully he will go to sleep and wake up better.

    Evening All, I have had major problems today with my laptop after DD had spent the morning listening to music and downloading god knows what :mad:. In the end had to do a system restore but for some reason have lost a fair bit of stuff.

    Have just tried to print off my loreal coupons and it wanted me to install coupon printer again, not a problem I thought until it came to the end of the install and I got this message :(......

    failed to register COM (activex) control: c:\windows\couponprinter.ocx. Failure in LoadLibrary (193)

    Which has resulted in me not being able to print any coupons at all out. Has anybody experienced this or can you suggest a way to get it to install? TIA

    Just recently if I use Firefox it says I must install Coupon Printer but always fails. If I immediately switch to Internet Explorer the coupon just prints without doing anything! So you could try another browser. HTH :) Don't know why as used to print fine in Firefox.
