    Morning all

    Happy birthday mhoc (and anyone else who is not owning up ;) )

    Mine's edging nearer and I'll be hitting a big marker.....not too sure how I feel about that.
    Not been around much for some days has have had grand parenting duties, worn out but loved it :D

    I am really quite excited this morning as after a long period of not working for health reasons I decided to apply for some part time jobs and this morning I have had 2 consecutive phone calls one offering me an interview on Thursday and the other (closing date was only Friday) offering me an interview tomorrow! Wish me luck :D

    Good luck with the interviews Hope they both go well and you may even have a choice of job :T:T:T

    who are we to judge? no-one is perfect


    This subject rears its head with monotonous regularity - and achieves nothing other than a fair bit of backbiting and upset !

    Its pretty obvious to anyone with an atom om common sense that none of us on here are 'Normal' shoppers and we are ALL taking advantage of pricing errors/computer glitches/multiple coupons etc. Some of us just take a little bit of the wee wee and others hammer it to the extreme - but I reckon that every single one of us grabs a free/very cheap item at some point.

    I probably take more 'advantage' than some others on here - and certainly there are people here that stockpile far more than seems reasonable to me. But thats up to them and I certainly don't feel I can judge them for that (especially as I am hardly innocent myself).

    Hi everyone,
    Another long time lurker in from the cold.
    I did post a few days ago but mentioned some pizza boxed to recycle and it was deleted (Sorry RF) I have partaken in many of the glitches and thank you all.
    Anyway I did an A shop yesterday but my Store doesn't stock the Pink Poo, I saw the VVPink there for the first time and decided to try it. The recent mentions on here were not very positive so I thought I'd risk it and IT WORKED!!!!

    I saw your original post re the boxes, just a thought but couldn't you put in the codes, see if you have won a supermarket voucher, then if you do print the vouchers pop them in the freezer section? if not it doesn't matter it was just a thought and I was going to mention it the other day but your post disappeared.:)

    Reduced packs of 5 sheets of tissue paper in Tosco. I got silver, gold, and a couple of mixed christmas patterns all 10p. Also got the sparkly shredded tissue. Packs with two sheets of Christmas gift stickers also 10p. Tartan bow and ribbon 10p too.
    Found all these in stationary aisle with gift bags.
