Heads up Targeteers!

Morning Targeteers!

PROBLEMS PROBLEMS and MORE PROBLEMS! If anything can or would go wrong this morning while doing the ad, it has. I am now 3.5 hours into getting NOTHING accomplished. Say a quick prayer that it will all go really fast and no further problems.

Already...
- the usual site I use is down
- tried another site and cannot get it to allow me to link coupons without the LONG links showing. --won't linkify
- cannot export the typed work no matter what I try

So.....

STARTING OVER FROM SCRATCH! NOT what I wanted since I got up at 7am and have been working since then. Frustration abounds but I wanted to let you know, I am NOT giving up. I will conquer this beast.

Click the coupons links and print to snag what you need. Go clip today's coupons. Clean out your expireds. I'll be a while. SO SORRY! I am trying though!

I swear, I have only screamed outloud once and only ripped one side of my head bald so far.

Ginger, November 9, 2009 11:24 AM: Hi Lizzie!

Oh thanks but I managed to overcome my obsticles. I was just really bummed that I had tried so hard to get going early so I could have my afternoon free and it just wasn't to be.

It all worked out in the end and there is some spray on stuff I see advertised for bald patches! :)

Go save a bundle on your Target shop this week. :)
