    Welcome Pips Mum. Couponing can be very addictive especially if you can use conditional spends as well as money off. Savings can be huge

    Savings can indeed be huge Snd.

    I have been a member for just over 4 years and can;t believe how I managed before mse..

    I know I have saved thousands of pounds but also we have had treats and things that I could never have afforded before. Its been an absolute godsend to me and I suspect many others on here too.

    The glitches have been so exciting, the bargains and deals are wonderful.

    So lets hope for another big glitch soon. :rotfl:to fill our cupboards

    DS1 finally moving out and up to Edinburgh this weekend to join his GF They are sharing a house in Edinburgh with other young people they were at Uni with for the moment with the intention they will eventually get their own place together. They will need to, just looking at all his gear he has accumulated:eek: they will still have a room each so he can use that for all his belongings. Best bit thou my electricity bill will drop dramatically and no more 3am drop off to work :j:j:j and DS3 can not wait to get his room back to himself with the promise he can have it decorated & a new carpet as still as it was when we moved 71/2 years ago :o:o:o.



    I know you won't miss his laundry, and the 3am drop offs but I bet you still miss him.

    Get him to set up skype on his computer and you can chat and see him at the same time so you know he is ok.

    Afternoon all. What another beautiful day. Been out pottering in the garden, but come in now to do some preparation for friends coming round for meal this evening.

    Also been making soup !! Got so many courgettes in the garden and can't keep up with using them, so soup in the freezer ready for when it is cold again! Guess what one of the veg is for tonight lol!

    We also have lots of treats (usually glitches) that we would never have had before MSE. Also, given the opportunity to buy some branded goods cheaper than own label for less money using MOC's of course!

    Totally agree with CW. We got son to set us up with webcam and himself, (before Skype was used so much) and it was an absolute godsend as far as I was concerned that I could actually "see" him and know he was OK.

    Great choice Clundu's DD!

    Morning everyone, I'm back from North Devon, had a great time, it's just such a long way!
    Didn't have much internet there either (not such a bad thing ;)) but the scenery was beautiful. Our Sainsbobs delivery on day of arrival was a brilliant idea as nearest s/market was miles away, couldn't have fitted it all in the car and of course got DD1's staff discount :D

    I'm off work for another week so it's up to the allotment today :)
    If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try - oh bu99er that just cheat :D

    Good morning. Hoping to catch up later today as trying to do a shopping list to use up a couple of £5 off £40 cond spends. It is so hard when you have no idea if it will match prices. I hope everyone is well and enjoying the cooler day. The sun is shining but there is a nice cool breeze.
    Be thankful for what you have because it could all be taken away tomorrow.;)

    well done ! :beer: yes I did thanks, meant I could claim £5 M&S voucher :A

    have you looked at gifthulk? similiar to sb but supposed to be better. I am signed upto both but not done gifthulk for a while. if you do some of the offers on gifthulk you won't be able to do them on sb too.

    tell your daughter to see if she can get a cheap android off ebay around £15 but must be operating system of froyo 2.2 or more. there are a couple of apps that she can install that will help her make money for free.

    what kind of books does she need? there are some on my fb selling page.

    Aesop has given me the details of some great apps to download that earn money :beer::beer: It is surprising how it all adds up. I just have to get my head around them all to max them and then I think it will dramatically bring my phone bill down with what I can earn.

    Morning all, cloudy here today but dry so washing on the line and hoping it will blow dry before it rains!

    Whereabouts in North Devon were you Jefery? Such a beautiful part of the country. Can be a blessing or a nuisance without internet on holiday, especially if you want to quickly look something up e.g. opening times of places etc. Bet the allotment needs quite a bit of work after the rain and sunshine, but hopefully plenty to pick as well.
