    Morning all.

    I've written 6 different replies to my views on the couponing thread idea and deleted all of them before posting :o
    Not sure what I want to say other than I think it's a bad idea.
    I found the elite and also myrtle turtles thread within a few mins of going on MSE via google.
    It isn't that hard to find if you want to put in a few mins work.
    The 'extreme couponing' they reference isn't as easy as grabbing a pile of MOCs and going shopping. It takes much more research and organising (and that's just for a weekly shop!) than finding the initial information on how to get started in the first place.

    It's taken me 6 months to get good at my shopping, I actually managed to do an 'on the hop' PP shop last night when half the stuff I had planned for was OOS. I managed to get it spot on :j
    It takes so much practice and I was so proud of myself for managing to do something that scared the living daylights out of me 6 months ago :D

    Not sure exactly what I want to say but this is my 7th attempt and I'm sticking with this one :D

    Morning all :wave:

    Feeling rotten this morning. Much like a hangover but without the alcohol the night before. Guessing i'm not drinking enough. Either that or a week of not really eating catching up with me.
    Must press on though. Still lots to do :cool: MIL coming over this pm to help out though :T

    Don't forget about the my special K app on FB. DH just won. Very clever whilst he's at work ;):D

    Still no sign of postie :( Off out in about half an hour. He'll be waiting for me to drive off then will run and red card me :rotfl:

    It was me yesterday, I tried buying 2 x Cherry Fizzy Vimto and the assistant said it had to be the squash, I thought she had tried putting them in but I'm not sure.

    What sort did you get please? Did you get the 2 bottles of Vimto Regular Still 500ml's?

    Also how does anyone know how they compare on the price promise please?

    They don't appear on the As or Ss website (doesn't mean they won't compare I spose) :(
    I was wondering this too because I could do with chucking some in an As targeted shop :)
