    Probably.

    Was thinking about this earlier and the quietness of the thread. I'm gonna make the assumption ( terrible I know :o) that for most of us the current way of glitching doesn't have that same thrill of the chase, the excitement, the unknown attached to it as it once did. Now that clever people have worked it out, post their findings and the knowledge that it will glitch for the entire day or even days, takes away from the buzz we once felt, that glitching on the edge, not knowing when it was going to stop working.

    Most regulars/ lurkerswill know what day and time to check in.

    In some respects there is less risk for those who couldn't afford to take the risk of it not working, so it's good for them.


    Then I thought perhaps it's quiet because it is the summer holidays and activity will increase in the months to come. :)

    There is just not the glitches there once was:( hopefully things will improve

  • I'm currently beginning a new obsession, i can feel it taking hold.

    Luckily it's overpaying my mortgage so not to bad but the insomnia will probably start soon.

    I'm pretty quiet, just because I have nothing very exciting to say, and a terrible memory so by the time I get onto the next page I usually forget it is that I wanted to comment on!!

    I actually haven't visited an asda in months, have got right out the habit of APG shopping, and seem to have a bit of apathy towards it at the moment. Although I guess if it was something I really wanted I would make the effort I suppose.

    Am feeling grumpy today - couldn't swim yesterday or do aqua today, ladies issues when I shouldn't have them if you catch my drift. Not sure if its the pill the Dr put me on or the polyp in my womb doing funny things, or a combo of both, but its really annoying as hate missing my classes and my swimming as love them both.

    Also having some issues getting my catheters in which started over the weekend and are a bit worrying, as when I can't get one in I panic and that doesn't help. Have ordered some different catheters with a different tip, as had some samples which I've used and found them easier, but only got 2 left of those.

    When the thread was recently closed, I was amazed at the number of people who follow the thread but who rarely post these days. There are seriously hundreds:o

    And if you look back just over recent weeks there have been lots of glitches, many lasting several days, coupons, a perfume glitch thanks to our Rocky, cinema tickets, Carling etc etc etc....there's no shortage of deals.

    So a conundrum........what can we do about it?

    If numbers become so low, and the thread too quiet more people will stop posting and we begin a downward spiral.

    Have we all become too complacent?

    Thanks to TM I think it was for mentioning the clearance clothing at Argoose. :)

    I picked up some denim shorts for a fiver and some jeggings for £4.50 they are both really good quality. :T

    I did reserve some shorts and jeans for Mr TS too but he says he doesn't need them. :o

    See if he feels the same about the shorts next year. :o;):D

    I also picked up some jeggings, the swimming costume and the matching dress, the dress has to go back, I cant get it over my boobs :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
