In one of my local stores I have a helpful SA (Non trout) who I'm helping with their personal life at the moment (Job application - obviously has ambition higher than Tesco SA). This SA allows me, just as many allow all of you with your MAM and PF vouchers, to use more than one voucher.

I had several clubcard coupons and 3 of the £5 of £40 coupons. I also used some double up coupons, a £9 off £60 spend and 3 x £20 JTD vouchers. This brought the bill to £23 :beer:

I have since had a mower and two microwaves (mine and mother's went down at once). Two of my colleagues at work who also do this have their own SA in the respective stores.

Whilst I realise some will say they will get told off, etc, the same could be said for them putting 2 MOCs through. The price flop ones clearly stated 1 per transaction. :money:

To Fudge - Thanks for the useful and enlightening post. I hope all will judge others as they do themselves thus not entering into a debate about the morality of coupons when by just being on this thread, you're invalidating the T&C about "spirit" in the PricePromise T&Cs. :A

Thanks for the reply. I was only curious!

Celebrate you should be so proud of yourself for taking the neccesary steps to sort out life for you and your children. You only get one shot at life and we all deserve to live it to the best of our abilitys. Life can be so short and taken away in the blink of an eye.

Many of us have had bad relationships and it takes along time to break the cycle of going back.
I went back again and again to someone who amongst other things kicked me down the stairs whilst I was 6 months pregnant, I literally begged him to take me back and agreed to everything he wanted. I was broken and hurt and didnt know any better, I thought it was 'love'.
Until enough was enough and I walked away, it hurt more than anything, I felt I would be alone forever. But I grew stronger, learned to love myself and life and was happy.

There are some really amazing people on this thread, the kindness that is shown is truly humbling at times. You know you can post any time day or night and someone will be about to give hugs / hold your hand / be your shoulder to cry on or just to give you a kick up the backside.

At times it will hurt like hell, there will be times when you just want to curl up unde rthe duvet and there will be times when you want to burn all his clothes! But through it all you have your faith and your little ones and that is more than some.

Celebrate please remember you are not alone in this, you can share as much or as little as you need but we will always be here x

I rarely quote from other people because it just makes this thread longer and harder to read. But I had to quote this post because I think it is so right. Good luck, Celebrate, You will be fine in the long term. x

Still not managed my first proper coupon shop.

Mum has been admitted to hospital, went round luckily before I went to Ts and found her slumped on the toilet, fully clothed. :eek:
Could not get her to sit up properly let alone stand up so had to ring for ambulance, she was shaking quite bad and drifting in and out of sleep. Paramedic was brilliant, listened to everything I said about how she normally is and decided hospital was the best option rather than ring for GP once we managed to get her off toilet onto a chair. Her temperature was over 40 degrees. :eek::eek::eek:

I can not fault the NHS this evening at A & E they were all brilliant and I stayed with mum right up until she was taken to a ward about 12.30am and even then was not pushed out the door straight away. Bloods and urine show a major infection they just need to make sure what so being treated with correct antibiotic. Think something is working though as last temperature taken was down to 37.4 degrees thank goodness and she remembered there were windows left open at hers (I did go round and shut them before I came home). Just hope she has a comfortable night and news will be positive in the morning.


Celebrate think I have said before you would know when the time was right to decide which path to take, there is only so much anyone can take, having been at the receiving end of some horrible stuff myself in my first marriage, I just knew one day that it was all over and I have never looked back. I hope time will ease how you are feeling. Take care x x

Don't want to leave that as the last comment for tonight, so on a more positive note seeing as I am a novice couponer what are the guesses that I will get my £40 shop down to when I finally get around to doing it.

I have mentioned I have a conditional spend and a B & J JTD (though did not say how many pizzas etc I got). Have also mentioned few other coupons I have printed and I do have OHs clubcard mailing but not sure if I will be allowed to use that too.

Night all.
