    Enjoy it while it lasts Lucky :) I've seen a few of those programmes but I can never figure out exactly what they buy apart from enough detergent for a lifetime, crates of fizzy drinks to keep the neighbourhood high for a month and weird things like boxes of dried meat :eek: It is the USA though, not sure if there are any programmes about the UK? xx

    I agree tea, it’s not exactly saving if you getting things you’ll never use! One woman has enough ‘feminine products’ to last 40 years, but has had a hysterectomy so won’t even use one pack! Ridiculous! I would get them and donate them to foodbanks/women’s refuge, but I’d never keep them just to make a stockpile!! I do wish we had a better coupon policy in the UK though Xx

    :rotfl::rotfl: so funny. I think it borders on being the same as a hoarder really. I also think I'd be driving straight down to the FB to donate 90% of the stuff. Nobody needs to keep all that. xx

    Hooray for quiet time, hope it’s recharged you a bit
    As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or
    What does the saying say.... When life hands you lemons, crack open the Gin......
    Or as my Mum would instil, brush yourself down, tomorrow is another day or
    Fake it, to you Make It

    Afternoon all. Yet another day of not doing anything special - 7 days in a row now :eek:. Feeling a bit guilty but the boys seem happy enough. It was going to be a NSD, but when I rang to make a hair appointment for DS1, she said she could fit him in this afternoon so £8 spent there.

    DH fell over when out with Best Mate on Sunday and we think he’s broken a rib :( Xx
