    Well, a little thing I found today about the SuperSavvyMe coupons... boots take them!
    So for the shampoos etc on the coupons at the minute, go check out boots, they have some herbal essences on clearance and the Aussie hair stuff.
    Nipped in this aft. Found an Aussie 3 min. Miracle on clearance isle, no price. Checked at till...£1.25.( £5 usually!) I said oh fab I've got a £1.50 off coupon ( I know it would have been overage if I'd bought anything else but I didn't), anyway, I got the product for free and... the girl gave me the coupon back!!!!! :rotfl::T

    That is good to know, I was trying to scour the small print earlier as the last time I printed SSM coupons they tended to be store specific.

    I need a full day to plan a shop....that's not enough notice hillbilly:D:rotfl:

    that's the best I could do at the time..about 15 minutes before it was live.
    I very rarely am able to participate in these now as Wednesday lunchtime is when I drive home from London after my babysitting duties.

    Im home now after driving down on sunday, lovely being a bank holiday as not as much traffic so an uneventful journey :)
    Monday afternoon, we visited an inner city farm only a short bus ride away, I could have walked but im lazy, after feeding the goats looking at the animals and checking out all the veggies that were being grown we then walked for a short while down the thames path (as well as 2 boys, a double pushchair, 2 sets of reins I also took the 3 year olds scooter and the sit and ride bike for the nearly 2 year old !, and I was by myself)... which is super as no people around as the area is residential, to a playground where the boys had a great time then bus back home in time for dinner at 6pm. and popped into s for the free shopmium smoothie:)
    Tuesday up and out with sarnies made by 9.30 with a tube journey to southwark tube station, then 15minute walk to Gabriel's pier for the Mr men roadshow, THANKS TM for the link to this...but what a disappointment...about a dozen people (public) Mr Strong, a white van with a shelf with mr men books and 2 orange tubs full of vitamin tablets and mr men books, and a few bean bags on the grass...photo with mr strong, several books and lots of vitamin tablets and 10 mins later we walk towards waterloo, had our sarnies, then went to a playground near the London eye, wore the boys out and sat listening to a busker whilst the boys slept in the pushchair, then back on the bus home. As the bus stopped at Borough Market I wondered if DM was around, but so many people it was difficult to see anyone. Back at 4pm so another busy day...

    I noticed the update at the weekend and agree its a big pain.

    I also noticed that they charge 20% vat on fees now, which i don't think they used to. So not a straight forward 10% charges when working out how much you have made.

    Is that just for business sellers?
    I only list my own/family junk, but I used to keep relisting when I was allowed 100 free listings.
    That's sneakily changed as well! :mad:
