I am again attempting to get my local coupon train up and running. I think this will be my last try, as I am tired of chasing everyone down and of paying postage, for which I get nothing in return! The last train was sent by me, at the post office, with the correct postage, to someone in the same town, yet did not get there. Grrrrr....
I also joined the coupon train coordinated by flash (thank you!) and am hoping to see that in the mail too soon. I have separate stacks set aside for each train depending on whether the coupons are local, how soon they expire, if I have duplicates, etc.
$15 for the babysitter tonight...I'll be glad when the bowling season is over so I can spare that expense! Two more weeks and we are tied for first place. I have never, in all my years of bowling (10+) come in first in a league. I am really hoping we can pull this one off. We didn't bowl too badly tonight, but the team against us bowled incredibly. Grrrrr again....
Spending for tomorrow: postage for the train. I already have my lunch ready to go, so no rush trips to the fast food places. I have a stack of checks to deposit, so I will have to make a run to the bank too. I have a rebate check from Staples that came to my DH with MY maiden name. Scratching our heads on that one. I am going to check at the bank to see if there is anything they can do, as I hate the thought of sending it back to get it corrected - too much possibility to get lost along the way or ignored.

This is the benefit of teaming a train of people with different needs.
I understand REALLY well about the postage issue. If you don't receive enough coupons in the train to make it worth your while, let me know.
In the mean time, deep breath, and let me worry the details.

mjrube, the check is in DH's first name and MY maiden name. I have no idea how they did that. I am going to ask a relative who manages a bank if she can cash it, but if not I will have to send it back. I'm still fairly new at BOA, so I am quite sure they would not cash it for me ("hey, I know this check isn't in my husband's legal name, but would you mind...?"). Thanks for the help, though. I can't prove that it's DH's check as his last name was never my maiden name!
