Totally gutted. Have had to advertise my 2 pairs of Alton Towers tickets on a free to sell site for just £15 a set. I really wanted to swap as its so pricey to go nowadays, even with a 2 for 1 ticket
Typical, the 2 days I cannot go this week (Thurs and Saturday) are the 2 dates I have received :mad:
What a waste of time!!!!

I ended up not sending mine off, I heard of so many people getting totally unsuitable dates, and I have such little time when I can do this sort of thing that I decided it wasn't worth the stamp. I got all the tokens from my Grandma who has the paper anyway. I do get to go there once a year anyway on a school trip so at least I will go there once this year.:)

It's a shame about the knife glitch These would have been ideal to go with the forks that always seem to be offer.
I've yet to find these yet but I often hear the SA's speaking about "another forkin glitch going on".

Hi all, Ive only just came across this thread.

My hat goes of to all of you that manage to find items for a penny or pennies and I would like to help or get involve if I can.

Where are they normally lurking or is it kind of a happy surprise at the till?

Hi everyone - just dashing in quickly so Hi!

Just wondered if anyone had a copy of the latest MSE email in their inbox that they could send to me. I can send my address by PM if so.

I know you can view it online, but I need 'the real thing'

Thanks so much (",)

All this talk of knives and dangerous activities reminded me of a game we used to play as kids which was called "knifey" and a variant which might have been called "stretch"? Does anyone remember playing it and do kids still play it? (may have been very local though)

Vague memories, but it involved standing opposite each other on grass with legs apart and taking turns to throw the knife in between the feet. If it stuck in the ground, one foot would be moved to that point and so on until the feet were together. Definitely not a game to play in bare feet or thin shoes as I recall:eek:

Artha , we played it all the time , called it ' split the kipper '
Thanks for the memory jog .

I was the talk of the office last week when i bought 12 pairs of shoes in my lunch break :eek::eek::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

In my defence, one pair were my wedding shoes and the others were flip-flops. :rotfl::rotfl:

OT but which is closest to IKEA? The coach station or train station. I need to get to IKEA before the wedding and ever since selling the car, i have needed it for everything :mad:

Sundays is the hardest day of all to go whoopsying imo. 2 reasons.......

Sheer volume of people in the store means lots of competition and often from people who are willing to pay more for it than us.

Secondly each store seems to have its own little idea of when to do reductions on a sunday. I've seen stuff all still on the shelf and half price or more at the end of the day, on other occasions its all been slashed by midday and gone.

Today we got a load of fresh pineapples 15 mins before store close at 1p each. There were tons of them, but there was nothing else.

Try to go at a quieter time if you can. Specially make the effort if the weather is foul as others may not go out.

I never go on a Sunday, have never had any luck with decent offers and far too may people thinking there will be loads of stuff going cheap. Most of our whoopsies only get as far as 50% or if we're really lucky 2/3rds off :rotfl:, but I still think that is pretty good for decent stuff.
