CapricornLass said:Happy New Year, Everyone! I've calculated the coupons left - I have 21 (85-64) as I carried over 19 from last year.It is my birthday today, and it has been just as different as Christmas was. I dont think I've answered so many calls in my life - phone, text and by Alexa! But its been a good one, in spite of being in Tier 3 and unable to go anywhere. My sister, bless her, made me a birthday cake, and drove 20 miles to deliver it to my doorstep. And I couldn't invite her in for a cup of tea and a slice of it

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........

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?2

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!Wealth is not measured by currency2
