    Thanks for the comp MT. I know a lot of companies are not doing coupons anymore, but I think it is a bit short sighted of them as I have bought quite a few things cos I tried them with coupons. I now buy cravendale milk cos I think it tastes a lot better and last a lot longer so worth paying the extra dosh when there is no coupon and I also love the rice krispies squares after trying them from a coupon. Has anyone else changed what they buy cos of trying with a coupon and even though there might not be one around now still buy it?

    Has anyone tried the New boost bars? I would love a coupon for them as they are sooooo yummy:EasterBun:EasterBun

    I now buy things I didn't try before after using a coupon. the baked potatoes (Mcains) for one.

    good idea to promote their products in my opinion, even if its mostly to the thousands of mse'ers.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Hi I was wondering if one or two lovely drivellers might have some advice:

    1) MSE style query is how do I go about refilling my own ink cartridges, last essay cost £17 to print so had to give up on the coupons until I could afford new one!

    2) OH has just rung and said he's jacked in his job during a difficult shift. it's a temp Sleep in job over the summer on 24hr shifts. he will still have his old job from Sept. I am studying and only have £500 ish left in bank until mid Sept, he has more, around £4,000 but we don't share finances. After what he has told me about work I understand his decision but this is not the first time he has decided to quit jobs, he's had 4 since we have been together in 2yrs and I worry that he is always going to be on minumum wage, he is 40 and has no qualifications. None of this makes him happy and later down the line he regrets jacking jobs in because of how it looks for future employers. We talk about how he feels a lot and it makes me very stressed about the future. We got together and stayed together partly as we have a lot of the similar values, we support vulnerable people and are always the first to pipe up if we think the work is unsafe or unfair for those people, or unsafe for us. He is a lovely person and an intelligent thoughtful worker whose great at the practical side of working with people. The difference is is that I have managed to stay in part time jobs and he hasn't. Could anyone suggest ways of approaching this one that are not going to come across as judgemental but will protect my stress levels?! God I feel like dear deidre!! Thanks everyone hope you have had mellow days xx

    Re the ink. my son bought a refillable kit on ebay and bottles of ink. Best to check on ebay for your printer model number and see if one is availabl.e

    Re OH - you need to talk to him about how you can manage financially if he has no job. Talk to him about settling down into a job now he is getting older as it would save him so much stress and worry (for you to)

    Good luck hun
