I know how you feel, saw a lady going to basket checkout with four boxes of icecreams and I wanted to run over and give her a price flop but I didn't already have one cut out and she would have been through the checkout by the time I had carefully ripped one out.

I did share the love when the marmalade went down to 10p, loads on shelf, couple only took two jars when SEL was 20p so I told them that it had gone down further and to my surprise they still only took a couple more. I had taken 6 so seeing they were not interested in taking any more, I had some more and share with my neighbour, SIL and Aunty.

This has happened several times to me, I see people picking up and looking at stuff so I lean over and tell them the price and they just give me the strangest of looks. I don't look too bad, well, I don't think I do.
I have given 2 people coupons a few weeks ago and they looked alarmed, until they saw I had the item in my trolley, well 6 of then anyway.

QOC - Hello my lovely! I haven't meant to be ignorant to your socklessness.....the ones I bought have been rehomed to my Grampy as his keep go missing in the home. My local T's sometimes restocks the ultra thick twin pack (can't remember the name) but they're only ever size 9-12 and they're MAHOOOOOOSIVE!!!! But if you would like some I'll keep an eye out And T's marathon woohooo! :j

MagicOwen - Thank you, you're such an angel :A THANK YOU for being so lovely to me, especially when you've got so much going on. I've been thinking of you and hoping you're as good as can be expected. Will continue to think of you tomorrow and wish you all the luck in the world. Please look after yourself :Axxxxxx

I've never given anyone any coupons before.
But I have had strange looks when I tell people there's a glitch on an item:D maybe one day it will be a friend or martin's and they'll say cheers, I'll show you where I've hidden the 1p stuff:rotfl:

Just be a little careful hammering a single deal too hard as Tesco have been known to remove peoples points. 12,000 points is a lot these days.

When I was working for CSC I used to get phone calls all the time from stores querying large bundles of wombled receipts. (I had to tell a few trouts off for using the word 'fraud'...) Cases were passed to the investigations team at the far end of the room behind the ominous separators...

Basically they know you're doing it, proof is another matter. Making sure you could have physically made all the purchases within the allotted timescale (no clashes) should keep you safe. Keep a note of places and times in case it clashes with a future womble.

Has happened many a time to me and that is without taking meds of any sort. :eek:

Going to go to bed now though as car has MOT tomorrow so I have to be up nice and early, fingers crossed does not need too much work. Don't think Ts does a glitch on car parts.

Ruxpin good luck to your OH. My DD2 has first of summer exams tomorrow she has been saying how everyone else has finished and are happy and she still has 2 weeks to go!! Written this week and practicals next.

Thanks Tiny shoes! Aww what a shame your DD still has 2 weeks to go! That is rubbish esp with this lovely weather she will be missing out on Hope it all goes well for her too!

My OH has found it difficult to adjust to uni life, he has gone back as a mature student at 30 after leaving the Armed Forces last May. Our DD came along less than 2 weeks into his course starting and uni were very supportive and gave him 2 weeks paternity leave. Think he finds it hard to fit in with the other students as they obviously have a very different home life than him, he drives HGV's as a part time job and they mostly work in bars:rotfl:

And he misses not being one of the lads with the other Marines but it's def worth it to be able to spend so much time with the baby. He was overseas for 14 out of 24 months before he left and the rest of the time he was based in Plymouth and we live in Wigan! Love having him home, except when he leaves his boxers on the bathroom floor:mad::mad::rotfl:

I'd better get to bed, got a busy day tomorrow. Good night late team xx

Edit - Fudge cake you posted while I was writing so want to send you a little bit of love and a huge hug and hope things get a lot better for you soon. You are so kind and thoughtful in all your posts xx

I did my conditional spend & coupon shop this afternoon - managed to get a £77+ shop down to £61+ with multisaves, then down to £27+ after coupons (including a wombled £9 off £60 spend)!!!

Wondering why I never used to take much notice of coupons - I could get used to this!

Great shop! :T

It would help though if, when people post about such shops that they give a little more detail about what coupons were used.

Oh thats far too complicated for me I'm afraid. I'll continue to get them added a couple a day and do some fajitas. If they take my points they take my points. Someone posted the other day to say they got 10k points last quarter and almost excusively from wombles!
