    Am I the only one that sits on a bench outside Ts and tears the coupons out, and dumps the mags in their bins? Mind you, I do have to walk home.

    No you're not on your own. I'm on the other end of the bench :cool:
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Spooky - that's what I'm doing shortly!

    Surgery is near a Ts so a mag hunt for me too.


    Well I had mine and I'm now sweating, face all shiny :o. Because I'm over 65 I get a special new flu jab. I hate needles but this wasn't too bad. I didn't bleed this time :T

    My local Mr T has the mags. I picked up 3 on Wednesday and Mr AJ got 3 yesterday. I don't like the baked crisps but ds4 does. He is no further on finding a new flat :eek: the two of them haven't made much of an effort saving up. I can see they will be still be here at [STRIKE]Chris[/STRIKE] the end of the year.

    Scamps , did you say your wife was paid this money? Why isn't she the one they are after for repayment? It seems so wrong.

  • A wee hint for newbies about !!!!!! mag coupons. Ones you you think are useless, KEEP THEM until expiry. !!!!!! sometimes overlap price reductions and the coupons. So a coupon that seems uselss might become useful before they expire, so keep them. Also in the past some have scanned for higher amounts or scan for other products too.

    Both, Now that UC has finally kicked in, apparenly my wife was overpaid child tax credits and I have to pay half!( not my son)

    I haven;t worked since 2011 from an accident, to my legs.

    They're chasing me for the overpayment and I only get £225 a month whilst my my ex gets £1400.

    I aint got a clue what todo!!!

    As others have said, don't worry,get proper advice.

    Without APG, maybe get into coupons and competitions.

    !!!!!! mag fro crisps


    You could possibly sell each on 50p per or even 2 for £1.50

    Wish my !!!!!! sold the prince's, would save visiting another store and I could get 2 in 1 shop.

    Morning all :wave:

    Ordered 2 front fastening bras from d@m@rt for my upcoming op and they are too small :( Have to pay postage to send them back :mad:
    However got a free fleece tweed effect coat with it that I like very much. Do I have to return the free gift too or just the goods I paid for.
    Anyone done this before.
    Looks like will have to pay a trip to MnS now :eek:

    I'd be very surprised if they let you keep it but you never know

    Good Morning all :)

    Had a couple of my " episodes" this morning when I was in Lidl then Morissons then when I was putting a box of lager in the boot and leaning over I banged my head as I couldn't see as my hood was up and the shock of that made me hurt my back lol
