    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?

    I have to agree.

    I have tried to write a response but I can't find the words to express what I want to say.

    :o:o:(

    It's strange catching up on only 4/5 pages, I remember when it was over twenty pages and when you thought you had made it to the end only to fin when you hit refresh another two or three pages appeared!!

    Time to get some beauty sleep :cool:
    Something unexpected happened which made me smile and still continues to make me smile.

    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.

    Good luck miss c.

    I keep becoming obsessed about this... and it dominates my thoughts usually whilst I am driving to work and then I forget about it!!

    agree, it has been very quiet over here, I keep thinking I am missing something but maybe not much is happening

    I've even wondered over to the dark side and not a lot seems to be happening over there either

    Not sure if other items affected or reported, but I bought a pair of black jogging bottoms from T earlier in the back to school aisle, age 10-11 B/C 21857, priced £7 but scanned at £3.50. May be worth a visit with the scanner.
