This is the list I have:
Suzanne
Lorna
Renee
Beth
Ashley
Trina
Amanda
April
Amy
Celeste
Sonja
Lily
Valerie
Anyone else want to sign up for this? Liz, Mandi, Kris, Kim, Sarah (both), Shannon, Nicole?
Or any of the newbies?
*Update-- I have decided that it would be a good idea to wait until the first of the year to start this. I just felt like a slacker because I hadn't done anything with it for awhile.  More info forthcoming in the next couple weeks.

Alright...add me to the list...I really hope this works out. I assume you'll add me last (which I want bc I have no need for coupons right now!!).

I think it'll work out great, much better than the trains. We'll have fast knowledge of someone not doing it right and then they'll be gone. Plus I have lots of coupons to make up for someone not working out so the others won't get shorted. I'll be choosing the coupon girl randomly within the groups but I can fix it so you're last in yours.

I'm thinking the cycles will run approx. 4 weeks long. That's what I'm shooting for anyway-- 5 weeks at the most. If this one starts on the 16th, the next one will start on Jan. 20th probably. If you wanna wait until then, no problem.

I just don't know if I can send 50 coupons to someone every month. Do we have to send them all at once?

It would actually be about 150 per month-- 50 per week except for your turn. And yes, it would be 50 at once each time. You don't have alot of extras, huh? I just assumed everyone had coupons coming out their ears like I always do. If you do end up with lots of exttras, you can always jump on a later cycle.

yeah, I don't have a lot of extras. I just started clipping everything in sight. Before it was everything I only thought I would use.
maybe in a few more months!

I will be gone a week in Dec. I can send/receive then I guess... if I bring coupons with me on my trip to give. I will be gone the 21st to the 1st. So, well... I jsut wanted to let you know. Maybe we should start this in Jan, when everything settles down? Just an idea.

I don't think I'm going to do this... not yet anyway. I don't anticipate a big need for coupons for the next little while, so I don't need to go overboard.

I might wait to do this next session, or not at all... I mean, I will be gone a good part of the time. I am going to be also cutting out my processed food buying, so while I will have plenty of extra coupons, I won't really need a whole lot... I mean, I would like to do it, but now I am indecisive.

Alright ... I'm in. I really have my fingers crossed that this works out, Teri. I'm so over people not playing fair in trades and trains or just being bums about it. I didn't get one envie the whole time we had the last train ... and maybe three the time before. I love the idea of trains, etc, and I want it to work, so here's hoping.
And we're all going to be appreciative of what we get, aren't we? 50 is a lot to pull from a 'wishlist' for non-DDs ... so put some smiles on people ... and be happy with whatever shows up.

Sounds like a good idea to wait until Jan!
