Oh my, it's blowing a gale in The Shire. Deff not going back out tonight. Need to find my coupon mojo but not finding anything of much use these days.

I know what you mean lacking mojo myself at the moment.Mind you only a couple areas in my stock pile lacking, but theres not much to be had at the moment is there?

Good morning everyone:)

Scary Evening & night :eek: was worried would be left with no roof as rafters been rattling all night long. DH looked out back at 5am another fence panel gone and one of our solid wooden chairs is broken. Winds still very high can't believe hasn't died down yet, dread to think what other areas like coastal are getting on think Wales were forecast to get it bad last night:eek:

Stay safe everyone:A

Good Morning AH and everyone. Very windy last night and this morning. Is this bad weather going to end as it seems like it has been going on forever :( I suppose can't complain too much as at least we aren't flooded. I'm just watching sky news atm and the pics look like it is another country not here as it is not something we are used to.

I wanted to go out today but not too sure whether I will bother as it looks a bit dangerous all this wind.

I too have lost my mojo, went shopping for the first time since just after christmas on Tuesday and went to Tesco for the first time in months yesterday. There seems to be hardly any coupons now, any that are seems to be a limited amount on fb. I think coupons to be printed are going to disappear tbh as people just seem to take the mickey when any company brings any out, so cannot blame them really. Free products to test to limited people or a comp to win a new product seems to the the way companies are going now. I remember when Airwick did a coupon for a free new item (ribbon candle, aqua mist spray etc), but now they are sending out new items to selected people who asks them to be a tester on their fb page. I suppose a lot cheaper, but no good for us couponers to stock up on candles etc

Morning Blue

Yes when will it end !!!

True at least we not flooded. Heartbreaking seeing what them poor people are having to endure like you say the pics don't seem real like another country we are looking at.

DH supposed to be going into work for a few hours before footie think he will be mad going out anywhere ATM. Really isn't going out weather

Good morning everyone.

We have rain and quite windy but not as bad as Wednesday gales. Still, not worth going out in though. Were supposed to be getting high winds again over the weekend. The gardens are a bit flooded as are the fields behind us.

I cannot imagine what the people who;s homes have been flooded are going through. I must be a nightmare for them.

Take care everyone if you go out.

I'm going to be positive and hope that this is just a lull of sorts! I dont think all the talk of extreme couponing and that helped but thats all dieing down now so maybe it will come full circle!
Doesn't help SSM no re-set either as can get a good all round batch from there and I almost out of dettol :eek:.As you say i think its partly down to people taking the mick.I guess im not really better ill usually get about a dozen of something when the fates collide but i do split it up so its not obvious( i dont thiknk i could be that blatent, the most i ever buy is 3 of one item at a time for fear the supermarkets will rumble me).And with my scedule its like a twice a year coupon maddy which sees us through the rest of the time.

Morning all

Stay safe and warm in this crazy weather.

Its not too extreme up here, just wont make its mind up, went from torrential rain to enough snow falling to be able to lie last night got up this morn all gone, even most on the hills has disappeared At least the winds dies down for now.

Additionally on the coupon front is it just me or is it getting more difficult to get the blooming things to print when they are about.I only realise this as i was going to print some baby coupons for a friend and realised i cant quite be bothered with the hassle right now.Seems like every time i try to do a run half of them dont print bacause of one issue or another
