Why have some people got free Mikado biscuits on shopimum and I haven't? what else am I missing

The warburtons crimpets are back in my list for free, just for 12 hours - I could not find them last time so I doubt if I will find them in the next 12 hours ....

Apparently I've been awarded a 7 year badge today! To celebrate I'm going to post this picture of a sexy quiche I didn't make

As said, it was on last year, and last week they went back to them after a year to see how they had done. Probably still on catch-up. Think it is all based on a social experiment done in the Netherlands or somewhere similar.
I best start looking for a new telly, as something will get thrown off it very soon. (watching it on catch-up as just been to get my free Mikado's and cheap wine from shopimum )

Last year's lot didn't do that well.

Reptile party man did OK, looks to be fairly independent now. I'm not convinced he knows how to care for those animals long term and his house must stink.

Car booter looks like he will end up a hoarder within a couple of years. Also not convinced he is making enough money to be self sufficient. And he still needs a driving licence!

Lady looking for a job still hasn't found one and has started to claim housing benefits and some sort of child benefit. She needs a lucky break.

It was because they have missed me (I have not used it for ages). I had the free crumpets, and saw them, but they are rank, so did not bother, even for free.

Dont get me wrong, I was not saying if they did well or not, just giving some background.

I nearly had to report a post again, but realised it was just a tart

My comments maybe politically incorrect!

The reptile man had initially stated that he had given up working to help support his wife in caring the kids - then filled the house up with animals. He used the money to faff with his hobby and then she got pregnant.... and went to have a private scan and looked for land.... I gave up the will to live!

The carbooter, well clearly he has not got the better then free shampoo from Boots.... he was working 2 shifts in a chemist, whilst his wife went out to work full-time. At least the house had improved a bit. I think you are right, he was buying rubbish/useless things including a van he cannot drive.

I was however pleased that the lady has returned to study.....

I am mega cynical at the programme - it would have worked so much better if they had given budgeting support, and support to enable them to make the most of this opportunity.
