    Laura_Elsewhere thank you for the First Footing, I vigorously opened the back door and sent 2020 packing, then opened the front door and welcomed the New Year in with a little plea to the universe for better things to come.  Sorry that I was unable to offer you a wee dram though.x
    Belated happy birthday to @CapricornLass too, lovely of your sister to bring cake for you.
    See you all on the new thread........

  • Can I check - is 1 bra worth 3 coupons. Or is it half that amount?

    thanks x
  • Also this is my first year joining in. If I have spare coupons this year - do they carry on into 2022? Or is it a case of use em or lose em?

    @zoeblowe, I think bras are 1.5 coupons. Check the link above as we've gone into the air raid shelters and are carrying on our chat over there till the all-clear goes (and there are rumours of cake... :) ).

    Hello to one and all!
    How I have missed the thread.
    apologies for my AWOL-ness. I went on a social media/internet detox because frankly all the C19 stuff was getting to me mentally, so I hid on Netflix instead LOL
    I have spent some coupons already this year so just off to check how many and then update my signature.
    I do hope everyone is well, I will try to catch up!
