11+ Elite Coupon-Crazy Glitching Mega-Bargainhunters

tessietwo

Hi everyone

FK's your photo of the Robin is splendid - very professional.
Have just done a French Knickers myself.....come in late and cooked up and eaten a whoopsied meal of lamb chops, salad and potato wedges. Tons to catch up on, finished the old thread and up to page 10 on this one (may have to skip some).

Tesco stuff
So_uth Tot no cheap choc (what's new )
No Lurpak (reason I went today)
Did get 6 Treasure eggs for £3.50 and used some coupons and picked up whoopsies (chops were 2.58 which is not mega cheap but original price was £8.63). 4 big bags of Baking potatoes for 30p each and 4 diced stew packs of mixed veg, 30p each as well, so happy with my lot.........until i fished out slow cooker for making a stew in morn before work and it has a big crack down one side

Thanks hun and sorry to hear about your troubles too (((hugs))) xxx

But I'm really not in the mood to tell them, it's getting to the point I feel so rejected that I'm not even replying to their status' or anything, it will pass as it usually does but I'm currently finding out from supersavvy if me disabling my FB account (not my MSE one) will impact in anyway on them sending out vouchers.

If it doesn't then I'm disabling my account to see if anyone a) notices and b) can be bothered to contact me over it! TBH I'm bored with that account anyway, I prefer my MSE/SW one

Ahhh no worries about me, turns out my true friends were right under my nose and they are absolute darlings :j:D Finding out that they were too selfish to even care when I was extremely ill at first made me feel terrible but then I realised how much of my energy they had drained and how terribly unfriendly their behaviour was to me. I didn't feel miserable for long, in fact it was just the kick up the bum I needed to really appreciate those that did care

I think your plan sounds good. I didn't want to say on my 1st post incase it came across as harsh but my 1st thought regarding any kind of relationship is that it has to be 50/50 to work. Sounds to me like you've done plenty of the giving and are still left with nothing to take. Clearly this is not going to work and like you say, you always end up feeling unloved (jeez anyone would think I'm speaking from experience!:o:rotfl:) Leave the ball in their court, you've put enough effort in, see if they have anything to offer you. If they haven't then it's no loss to you, though it's hard to stomach and will feel like it to begin with. Friendship should be a source of strength, not a drain on it. If they've got any sense then they'll show you the love and attention you deserve, anyone would be lucky to have a friend like you :Axxx

Awww what a lovely post, thanks QPR xxx



Cheers for that, no I'm in no rush but some of my vouchers run out before then so I'll have to check the dates and work out if it'd be worth waiting, thanks though!

you can renew the vouchers over the phone, i renewed 9 months worth last feb. i just gave them the codes i wanted to replace as i told them i was saving for something special. they then got added to my next statement giving another 3 years to use them.

I had roe and chips at the chippy tonight!

Feel like crap to be honest.....was gonna make a cuppa but guess which plonker went to Tesco and forgot sugar and milk so gotta go back out again.

Finally caught up, just in time for bed.

Thanks for all the Congrats.

Mrs OB is so pleased with me. Apparently, I have "done well".

Called HO again (I know, I know ) just to get confirmation of our confirmation. We've been given the number to call and CC will add the points tomorrow, and they will be sent out with the May issue.

@fourp: not Spain, but France (again!). I love Normandy.

@FK: those pics of the robin are truly outstanding. :T
Okay, time for bed. What a mixed day it's been.

Love you all. :iloveyou:
OB.

Aww don't I'll get all emotional, you guys are nicer to me than my 'real life' friends, though maybe that's because none of you have met me yet :eek: :rotfl:

FKhow come your swan picture looks like the swan is so much closer than the water and you can see all the beads of water on it really well.
is it a special camera?

No, its not special nor expensive...wish I could afford a really nice one! It was £240 brand new just a few weeks ago.

Theres a slight optical illusion with the water as its reflected the sky and looks pale blue so kind of looks further away than it is, but also in relation to how close tot he 'eye' the swan actually is, it is relatively distant iyswim.

I love the water beads, they really make the pic. I do like the lighting too.

If you PM me your email addy, I'll send you the original if you want it. Its about 5mb though.....but at least you can resize it as you see fit.

Just a thought but why not just change all your settings to 'Only viewable to me (you)' instead of disabling your account.

You can still see then but they can no longer see you.

What good advice and what brilliant timing.

I went searching for who posted the last couple of reminders about the Favourites Competition (which I've won ) back in Feb ; the equivalent of a bargain OP, I suppose.

It was you, zippy. Thank you so much. :T :T :T

Right, just back from a late night trip to well you guess!

managed to get the baby Annabel for £11 and the baby born for 9.50 for a friends daughter.

Also a few other toys, but nothing new.

A phone with an OOD SEL (and a full DTD refund after the CS desk had shut -don't ask).

BUT, and I think this is new: Is anyone checking the HOMEWARE section?

I got a Pyrex Loaf Tin- posh non stick one for £1.75 [text removed by MSE Team] - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pyrex-Classic-Non-Stickmetal-Bakeware-Loaf/dp/B002GZ7N0M/ref=sr_1_2?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1332288455&sr=1-2- f

2 round cake tins for £1.37 from the same Pyrex range.

They had other pyrex stuff too cheapy cheapy.

Prestige Pressure cooker was £17.50.

Gino De Campo 12 peice dining sets down to £12.50 each

Waterford Crystal wine glasses half price at £7

Loads and loads of cheap Cushions, throws, pot pourri, pictures, clocks, etc. etc.




and a pair of round cake tins for even less
