    Discussion Time, somewhere we don't want to be! They are brutal over there. If I find the thread that was started not so long ago about people who buy RTC food, I will post it here and then you will understand certainly why I for one won't join in if it goes over there. :)

    Just my two pence worth.

    "scaff cabinet" "benefit buffet" See what I mean ;)

    We always call them the 'Benefit Buffet'.:o

    My local T's Whoopsie section is certainly not a "Benefit Buffet" as the suits from the nearby oil companies and posh car dealerships can often be found having a rummage in the whoopsies.

    Sorry to repeat, but wondered if the day crew had an opinion. Especially as no-one answered. Feel free to ignore :(

    Sorry, feeling gloomy, meds are making me feel sick and OH is working abroad this week :(

    2 different cards would be better and use them month about as it would increase the amount of money off coupons/till spits that you will get.

    I used to have my own account but I gave my vouchers to mum as we pool ours for christmas and it was a bit difficult for mum to use my vouchers if I wasn't there with my CC. I now just use one of mums key fobs for simplicity.

    Incidentally, Westie and I had a count up the other day and due to CC vouchers, Pinecone Research coupons & Valued Opinions coupons we have accumulated about £180 so far this year towards our Christmas food and drink.:beer::beer:

    havent had time to back read. (family problems) are you leaving MSE?
    i really dont understand whats hapening
    i dont 'do' facebook so looks like i wont be able to go with you
    nope, were not leaving mse. locarr wants to start a thread in discussion time, this means you have to log in to see the thread, so it may stop the lurkers.

    i personally dont think it will be of any use.

    so what if we have lurkers, that grab stuff out of tesco and sell it. loads of peeps did/do car boots. at the end of the day its tesco that is losing out. spreading the love of mse is what we are all about.
    life is like a loo roll. the nearer the end you get, the faster it goes.

    Morning
    Another lovely day and another arguement with DS(11) about why he needs suncream on:mad:

    I nipped in T's yesterday to pick up the forgotten lawnmower and got a kilo of rump steak for £5 (using £2 off meat counter) and double mocha cappucino 74p(only 1) and 30 cans carling £16 to get my £5 off for next weekend.

    Magicowen I am thinking of you today I hope you get answers to your questions.

    Hope everyone has a great day.

    I had the same argument with my 11yr old DS too, he said he wanted to work on his tan :eek: Sat him down and explained that a gradual tan using a higher factor sun cream (30) was better and more healthy than getting burnt and/or risking skin cancer. So he's off to school with a spray bottle or factor 30 and was put on him before he left this morning.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    I read and post on here now and again, always finding it a very friendly thread, but I am so disappointed to read people suggesting it is moved so that lurkers and people who do not log in cannot read it.
    Yes there are lurkers who take advantage of the glitches but then can any of you honestly say that you don't lurk on other threads and take advantage of things that are posted on there? One of the threads I know a fair amount of you take advantage of but never contribute to is the coupon thread. How would you feel if that was hidden and only a small group of people could access it or know about it?
    I don't always log in, sometimes because I am just having a quick read or am on a computer which isn't mine and I'm sure a lot of others don't always log in as well.
    Remember the next newbie/lurker could be the one who finds the next big dtd/glitch/freebie and making them feel unwanted is the best way to stop them posting about their glitch etc.
    Be thankful for what you have because it could all be taken away tomorrow.;)

    I'll drop the DT thing, it was just a suggestion!:cool:
    I know we'll never stop lurkers and as I say it was to deter grabbers rather than exclude newbies!!;)

    I ordered one to, read about someone on darkside who had ordered 99 wonder if he/she got this as well
    hopefully we will get them that would be great:j

    I ordered one also, not expecting it to come but as they say 'if your not in you can't win'
    Got the e-mail saying price guarentee but still think they'll all be cancelled. Couldn't believe that someone ordered 99 and another said he ordered 12 because he needed one for each room in his house :eek:
