Thanks.
The excitement of planning a shop has gone now.
I'll just be a posh muggle today then and spend a tenner. Would my coffee and paper be included in my 10 total?
Tia.

I don't get anything sent either:(



It's such a shame that their deals are changing, I get my free bus pass in 3 and a bit months and had it all planned!
Express bus to the toon, dropped of at the bus station beside Waties, get a free coffee and go and sit in 'hippy green' (Old Eldon Square) and enjoy the coffee, then it became buy something and get a coffee and now I will have to take a bigger handbag to accommodate my reusable cup (and a plastic bag to put the used cup back into). After a bit of a bimble around I would have returned to said Waities and picked up my PYOs :mad:
I was even getting another Waities card for the grumpy one as well!

You should do it, I did really well end of last year, I only took 3/4 small boxes I must have had the smallest table there but people were prepared to pay what I was asking not as much as you could probably get on ebay but I can't be bothered with that I would forget to post something or other. :rotfl:

I've halved the lipstick/glosses stash, have about 8 to sell, I'll let you know in couple of weeks how well they go. I'm selling the stuff from the Boots Natural Collection glitch too the powders and bronzers I got DD as she never did use any, I put order in too quick I should have asked her first. Luckily I did ask with the recent micellar water one as that would have been a mistake.

Trouble is I still don't seem to have made any space, it all just breathes out like the freezer does when you take stuff out. I think we get good at stashing stuff away.

Thanks TS, that is an idea, go for small but quality! It's the getting up at an ungodly hour on a Sunday morning that gets me!

Must have missed that Boots glitch (probably for the best!)

We are not allowed to mention freezers in our house at the moment. I can't get to the one in the garage because of all Grumpy's[STRIKE] junk[/STRIKE] things he needs. Then he says I don't use it, we'll get rid, then I say I will use it if I can..

Stalemate!

Hi - I've been lurking a lot on here recently. I find a lot of the discussions really confusing! But I'm trying to read and learn.

I just wanted to say thank you. I picked up my order of 10 gingerbread candles today - very impressed. I will be giving these away to the few people I give Christmas gifts to. Who would ever know they only cost 25p a pop?!

How can they be cost effective???? Surely they must cost more than that to make, then ship and not to mention the meters and meters of cling film they were wrapped in!

Very grateful thank you

I was originally going for the Heinz soups v M but when I saw that they still had the 342 signs up I switched to A v T and as the soups were straight prices in T I mixed the baxters and ainsley. My A didn't have a lot of choice of either and sadly the Pot and leek came back n/a, which is a shame as I checked T website.

Anyway I giftcard later and I'm more than happy.

Big thanks to Elaine and Izzey for all their hard work.:T:T

3 free cold drinks have just appeared on COS at Sainsburys. Can get 1 of each free. They don't look too appealing to me :rotfl:

Typical for something to appear this late in the day, I even checked the apps whilst I was in store just incase something had appeared between leaving the house and getting to Sainsburys.

This WOW is also free on Shopimum - the chia seed drink version.

Needless to say my huge Sainsburys does not stock WOW.

Nor does it stock Judes flavoured milks or the Tuk Tuk chai - so that's 3 Shopimum freebies it does not stock and the 3 COS freebies.

I don't think the Sainsburys in Newcastle or the Chester Sainsburys or the Cheshire Oaks ones are as big as ours but just incase has anyone had any success getting these freebies?

I did though see the melon water that was on the list for a while, naturally our store now stocks it now its off list
