    Hiya Suzy g - today was just a shop to get the vouchers - I didn't use any of the Mail vouchers, with 4 children in tow I was surprised at how long it took to just do the shopping !!!

    I tend to use 1 or 2 in a shop if I am tescoing, some stores say one non-identical voucher per transaction so if they say that I split my shopping into smaller lots.

    Surprised nobody else has mentioned the Yummy Mummy offer also in today's Daily Mail. :confused:

    Is everybody too busy ripping out the book tokens to read through it! ;)

    Page 108 has details. You can colllect 20 tokens and send SAE with 70p to get a voucher booklet with offers 'worth up to £250'.

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/prmts/prmts.html?in_article_id=446920&in_page_id=1777

    The vouchers include a free hair cut and blowdry, free beauty treatment, free family photo session, 2-for-1 offers at Ramada Jarvis, money off Daniel Field hair colour, up to 40% off Eurocamp, free babywipes from Lidl and 'lots more' apparantly. :confused:

    Instead of saving up tokens you can buy a luxury Yummy Mummy organiser ('worth' £29.99) for £9.99 and you get the voucher booklet for free.

    You can either send the coupon off or order the organiser by phone from 10am Tuesday: 0800 0640225

    I can remember some people sending off for this last year and saying it was a bit of a disappointment so I'll hunt out the old thread. :o

    Edit: THIS is last year's Yummy Mummy thread. Don't know whether to bother sending off for this year's.

    There is also another offer mentioned on p.108:
    Copy of Days out mag for £1.95 plus £1 p+P visit www.daysout.co.uk and quote code MAIL74 contains coupons for days out 'worth over £1200'.

    I've just been to Tescos - I did 2 transactions to maximise my h&b points vouchers and bought 15 Mails total cost of them was £10.50.
    I also gained 700 points using 10 x 50 h&b pointers and 4 of the 50 point beautiful ones - ***they both scan to give points on the same purchases ***

    I had my 5 year and 8 year old with me and the 2 oldest and in the chaos that is caused when I am trying to shop I handed the SA a voucher for a free kids magazine - it was in the news of the world last week, anyway it was to be collected from WHSmiths, so I asked for it back and said I would use it at the right store, anyway, he said if it scanned I could use it and it did so I had an unexpected £1.75 off my bill !!!

    Additionally, I had bought the Gardeners World magazine cost £3.20 - April edition (the one in a plastic bag with offer of free compost and seeds etc). Inside is a voucher for a free bag of compost and as I had the free compost voucher on me and he scanned it, (they sell it) I had another £2.99 off my bill !!! A very good read and with the free tomato seeds/lettuce seeds and chive seeds etc it is a bargain at just 21p if you use the voucher at tescos !
    We make our own compost so I didn't want the free compost as money off was better.

    Lots of empty quit envelopes around today but no vouchers.

    I didn't think the compost voucher would skan as the barcode ends in 000

    it did today at mine - although I did hand over a few but as the amount £2.99 came off my receipt I know it was that voucher he used, so I've just got another magazine for the seeds and will use the voucher at tescos next week

    Does anyone know if The Mail had a special offer on today for a paddling pool/pool?

    Hubby says there was a good deal in there.
