    Monday is fishing day.............well, had another absolutely brilliant day, 6 hours of ectasy(just can't get enough)......learnt knew things and taught new things as well, its amazing the difference a simple rubber band can make,........still never caught any flies(fly fishing)...but went home with a couple of trout.....

    Got a call from my partner in crime on way home....who said "RTP on MSE is reporting £6 blues are out again"..............well the perfect day got even better, made a 20 mile detour to a store where i have always had great coupon gathering successes..(278 was best in one go).....and lo and behold, at least 2000 of them sitting on each of the 6 clothing desks, and not an assistant in sight. Well.........I mean, whats a person supposed to do..........just take the odd one, ............NO.....I dont think so........so after picking up an inch(decided thats all would fit in one pocket), circled again and took another inch for the other pocket................said goodnight to security guard on way out, and made my way home to count my spoils.............2 trout and





    a disappointing 266 sheets of coupons....13 short of a new record.....

    always striving to improve.......etc.

    Forgot about the bit of the day that wasnt perfect, when the big articulated lorry, cut the roundabout and jammed me in the middle, I thought i'd lost the side of the car, but luckily his wheel only caught the front bumper, being on a couponing high, i just let him off with it.

    EDIT...... On reflection..my estimate of 2000 on each of the desks was a large over estimate...there was a 6" pile on each desk....possibly around 800 to 900 per pile

    Such a shame about the car, maybe if he had damaged it more it would have stopped you from going out and taking so many leaflets and not giving anyone else a chance to get anything. This isnt the first time though is it as you said. I dont know how you have the balls to post on here about the number of leaflets you take. I also dont know how you can post when other people come on and say they cant find any and yet there you are sitting with hundreds and you dont even offer them a measly one leaflet. :mad:

    I hope one day that security guard stops you and bans you before you spoil the whole thing for everyone else, not just in your area but the whole country as that is what will happen if you continue to be so selfish.

    Just out of curiosity how are you planning on using them all or are you hoping to use another site to swap them for more H&B and So B to add to the hundreds you already have.

    leadhead is very generous with his vouchers. Sent me a lot once and I know he always spreads the Tesco love around.

    carolwat...you obviously dont know Leadhead,he is a Plax drinking Xdresser,he now has enough Plax and can now get some girlie things with the clothing coupons.
    Also pretty sure if you would have pm`d him he would probably have let you have some,as he has done for many on this and other forums,Mr T doesnt seem to be suffering to much from peoples coupon habits after posting a £1.32 billion pound profit.

    Leadhead may be generous on here but on another forum he just uses it to swap coupons. He doesnt give any away. He doesnt spread his Tesco love very far believe me. If you arent aware of his other haunts then maybe you shold do your homework before sticking up for someone who blatantly asks for more So B and H&B to add to his hundreds he already has. I can show you if you like then you can make an INFORMED decision on how much Tesco love he spreads and how much he deprives other people by stockpiling coupons and emptying stores.

    I don't want to get into an argument and neither am I passing judgement on or defending ANYONE here....but....

    You can't always judge a book by it's cover - someone may appear to get masses but do you really know what goes on behind the scenes?

    My Mum has now picked up big stacks of H&B leaflets twice......but I've kept a fraction of those and handed loads out on MSE, PTS and to neighbours and friends as well as total strangers in Tescos (great fun, that one). I've also swapped lots for SB & Quits.

    If you just looked at my posts trumpeting my brilliant Mum and her coup, you'd think I was a greedy moo.......but that doesn't show the whole picture and that is something that will always be the case with anything online.

    Now let's move away from any recriminations and get back to planning how best to make use of the next wave of offers!! :D

    I always enjoy reading leadheads posts. He gives us lots of useful advice. I don't like the tone of the comments. Let's keep it friendly.

    Leadhead doesnt appear to get loads. I didnt make the figure of hundreds up from the top of my head. This is fact. Its information he has placed on another forum. He has openly posted he had 300 H&B and the same in So B and was looking to swap for more because that wouldnt be enough for him, These were his words. He also wanted to swap the points coupons for something to the value of £2 per 50 point coupon. This is all on an open forum and is free for anyone to see if anyone still thinks im judging a book by its cover. I have read the book.

    Liverbird I didnt wish any harm on leadhead if you read my post correctly. Now im back to the friendly forum where people dont take every last coupon and where other people dont think its acceptable for people to do that. Just remember who you have to thank when Tesco remove all coupons and refuse to take any more.
