I agree a bit and have hit my restraint button

I love a sale and in the last 18 months a gliche but I was "buying" for the sake of it and for others. Family are happy to "pay" the cheap price but I was buying way more than the two of us could use

I have stocked up and have all the Christmas cards and paper for this year and have enough "raffle" prizes for the GC events or a quick b'day gift
We never see wombles in sada They have guys out all the time 8pm on a snowy cold Saturday night :eek:

I have space in my freezer which I hope to start filling at the end of the month or mid February We had a beautiful roast leg of lamb last night but I bought it four months ago so a clear out is needed

I really admire those like savvy sal, et al, who womble and can keep their spend down without becoming a hoarder with the "offers" like I do Sometimes it felt like I was spending a fortune but it does look lovely all lined up in the garage though :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

It does look impressive I miss my old coal cupboard from old house, could stand in there arranging for ages. But I did turn in to a bit of a handing out wee grocery bags to frankly folk who could afford full price.
I have almost cleared the garage I went from 8 cubbie hole shelves (ikea) to less than four. Funnily enough cleaning products and shampoo left :rotfl:
The dining room has stuff we are working through now. loo rolls , cat food and soup etc. But I have severely cut back and as frugal february approaches we will run it down as far as possible.

anyway trainee due soon so I will be radio silent for a few hours. see you all later.

anway RL is going to get in the way this week so I will be more lurking than putting in special guest appearances, if and when I can get wi fi.

It is my birthday today and daughters on Friday.

so far Yorkshire tea have sent me a tea bag and I've had an email from Greggs to say there is a cup cake waiting for me on their ap

I was just going to ask about this!
How soon do peeps think it will be before this works? I can try it later on if the consensus is today. Also is there a maximum amount of points in one transaction?
I won't get the vouchers in this transaction but if I buy say a stick of gum straight away after will I then get the voucher?
Thank you.

Ive been to the garage before and put £5 of fuel in to see if a voucher popped out

My friend is still here with me so we have decided to go to an afternoon showing off "The Theory of Everything" the film about Stephen Hawking as I don't ever like going to the cinema on my own:( it always seems a rather daunting exercise:(I think it has come to that time of the year when the heating needs to be kept all the time for now and blow the expense;)cannot abide being cold

Have a lovely time at the cinema Nannylala.

Talking of yellow stuff........

I spotted this on my skip through earlier. Is it just me or is this also taking the pee??

I get ordering to add to a stash, to sell, to give away or even to hope you will get subs that are better. But phoning a store to check an item is OOS and then blatantly ordering it, knowing you won't get it and pocketing a £30+ APG??
Talk about biting the hand that feeds :(I like to think there's a spirit to glitcing and we do so well. There's no need to go this far.

Not singling this OP out, I'm sure others do it. It's just an example I saw.

And I'll be disappearing again soon so I don't care what anyone thinks

I agree with this and feel uncomfortable with it. If you know the item is out of stock and go ahead and order and take the apg isn't that classed as fraud? Or not? I wouldn't have the b a ll s to do it

Anyway, Good morning Elite :hello:

A cold and frosty morning here in Suffolk and I had a 9am appointment at the health centre.
My ankle is still giving me excruciating pain since last Wednesday or Thursday and this morning it is worse and swollen, so appointment needed as I'm worried that my knee op won't go ahead :eek:
I did ask to see the nurse but was told I'd have to see the doc, and he was lovely but, imagine my embarrassment when he told me I have twisted my ankle How did I do that? I haven't gone over on it.






































































Last Tuesday evening dh went off to bed and left his slippers in the same place as usual, the middle of the lounge floor :mad: I was so annoyed and rather than move them I viciously kicked them across the floor right under the sofa :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Could this be the cause?

I've been having a play with the '3 for £6' Toiletries offer and believe I may have found a trigger. I can't find anything blokey that compares well and as I'm not a girl, I don't know what is a good price for the girlie bits..:o

Anyway, first question is, can anyone find this for A on msm?



Hopefully not and this is what I see looking at T on msm.



So, if I have got it right, this should be a trigger in the 3 for £6 offer. Might be things worth buying now, might not, but if we try it and it is a trigger, I'm sure something lucrative is just around the corner..:D

Good morning.

I can confirm that the above item is a trigger.
