    Morning all, I have to make white chocolate and cranberry fudge for the school fayre, noticed a 50p coupon in T's magazine, non in my store yet, I have spent hours trying to work out how to print from the online magazine without any luck! Just thought I would mention that they are on offer at £1 in sada and Morries, so would work out at 50p with brand match and coupon!

    use 'the snipping tool'

    Good morning all....

    Sitting on the sidelines a little this week....hope you don't mind.

    I though I might add my 2ps worth to marmites requests for ideas about baskets....
    I'm not a great basket fan they are pretty but usually too small to do much with afterwards except recycle on to the next person....so have you though about putting all you bits in maybe either a plantpot or planter,a kitchen mixing bowl or even a nice large roaster or cake tin.The pound places are usually quite good for ideas on containers too.....just a thought if the recipient isnt a basket person.

    My homeless lady is still homeless and living in the tent in the bus shelter....does she seem happy....I guess she's resigned to her circumstance....I've been along several times with the odd hot drink and a muffin and a pasty or small warming things that are easy to eat "on the hoof" so to speak.
    Still can't ge much conversation from her but I guess some people keep themselves to themselves....she is however recognising me and giving some acknowledgement.

    I shall continue without being intrusive.
    frugal October...£41.82 of £40 food shopping spend for the 2 of us!

    2017 toiletries challenge 179 out 145 in ...£18.64 spend

    Could anyone please offer any help with the printing of the coupon for the cranberries from the Tesco magazine, I can find the magazine and the coupons, but cannot figure out how to print them! Sorry to ask, but I have spent ages trying to figure it out without any success!
    Happy Birthday TM, I hope you have a great day!


    I use the snipping tool and save to desktop.
    go to desktop click on image
    top right hand side of screen 3 small dots click on them
    open with (I use) windows photo viewer
    click on print
    click on 'fit picture' (in tick)
    scroll and click image far right (to how many images per sheet)
    go to far left-copies of each picture- scroll on the number up/down
    enter
    click print
    hey presto

    im using IE windows 10

    (snipping tool is found on your little window icon far bottom left of computer. click and it should be on the menu)
  • I have been released. I was sitting here bored waiting for a delivery that might not come today anyway. Anyway, can now go and get the stuff I need before lunch now!
