Famed 11+ thread...home of the elite coupon swipers and obsessive chocolate stashers!

Janeyc84

Morning all, what a day yesterday, left the house all set with DS, DD motherbear and coupons safetly tucked away in babies bag ready to grab some bargains.
But the worst happened...DS water cup leaked.....all over my coupons :(:A:(:(:( I was devastated, as was meant to be getting a full shop in with OH later on after he finished work.
Ended up at A where I had a successful wobbling trip, DD picked up a total of 6 receipts :rotfl: which I will check today.
So I thought I would get home and print of more coupons before we had to go to T, however OH decided to rush me out of the door so didn't get a chance :mad:
Ended up walking round T not having a clue what I wanted, no coupons, no list, no glitches resulted in a £50 spend which I won't even get a JTD voucher back

In other news, cousins funeral is on Thursday morning, it is goin to be horrendous, she was only 22 my aunty and uncle are devastated and not coping well at all. Very worried about mum she is worn out looking after my aunty, but she is stubborn and won't take a day off which she so desperately needs.
Poor OH is being fab so a well deserved Sunday lunch is on the cards for him after work

Sorry for rambling on hope everyone has a fab Sunday and hugs to everyone

I went yesterday. All I can say is thank goodness i am not coaeliac. The food is pretty bland and tasteless.

Sorry, had to take issue with that, it's not at all.

The only trouble is, you have to cook it yourself!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. The stuff they all sell in their little gluten free food ghettoes is rubbish.

(Diagnosed Coeliac for over 30 years, had to learn to cook in the interests of self-preservation )

Not managed to locate any of the tesco mags down south, would appreciate knowing if anyone has managed to find them down here. TIA

Realised earlier I missed out on a 5p petrol voucher yesterday . It has taken over 24 hours for the penny to drop that I should have spent another couple of £s to get one. I still have a lot to learn about couponing.

Hi Tinyshoes, I think I spoke to you last year when you were trying to complete a kitchen collection from Mr. T, I have only just found this thread, I think the reason being that it had 'chocolate and coupon' in the title. I picked up a copy of the 'Living Mag' at Fle***dge last week, went to Fern**** yesterday and got the price flops but no Living.

Managed to use the fruit and veg ones but found it quite tricky working it all out and adding it up!

Back from a fortnight in Majorca! Really hoping the weather picks up this week, its freezing, they were having a mini heatwave and temps were in the thirties which is good for this time of year! Tried a resort we havent been to before Camp de Mar and will definately go back, it was beautiful. Good to be back in my own bed tho & feels nice to have carpets & not just tiles!! Came back to a pile of freebies that the postie had put through for me, which was nice too!

Hi freddies, I'd noticed you'd gone quiet . Glad you had a lovely break.

Went out yesterday to WHSmiths and used some of the vouchers from the glitch a few months back, was a lovely feeling to be getting something free from a "different" shop for a change:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:They had some stacking boxes reduced from £21 to £10.99 which DS wanted for uni and a I wanted a book with the Alphabet down the side (Like an address book) Still can't get over how fab that glitch was:T
And Rooted Nomad, I'm with you on returning stuff.I have a bag of tights in the car that need to go back:oJust working out where to take them as I don't want to draw any attention to myself :rotfl:

morning all, have been up a while but have cooked for most of the week because have to share a kitchen and work:o

sorry you are having a bad week janeyc84.

A few ideas for a jtd shop would be ben and jerrys 4.49 a t's 2.50 at a's plus an n/a icecream. Use the price flop.

welches juice doesn't compare. Flora buttery is apparently a good deal too. Also have you signed up to the loreal website??
i have been getting the 2.50 moc of skincare and using for age perfect wipes. Buy in groups of 3 and get a jtd.

most of the time when i log on the skincare voucher will print again. so i have had at least 12 coupons. HTH :A
