    Just started on BBC 2 - The Hairy Bakers - Bread, cakes and pies - could be fun;)
  • Hi all,

    just a small spend of 1.12 for some bananas today so have updated signature. Hoping for a NSD tomorrow as no plans to go shopping as remoska arrived this afternoon and want to do a bit of playing with recipes.

    Bree - sorry to hear about Annie

    Ifonlyitwaseasier - congratulations on the new job - that must be a weight off your mind - you can now focus on the big day!

    Happy moneysaving everyone

    Just used this and it works!

    XX-TKCR - £5 off a £35 spend at Tesco

    Noticed Tesco now have their own 'eco' versions of bicarb (500g) and Borax (400g)... bought some so that I use less of the 200g tubs of bicarb (less packaging) and also curious as to the Borax - Rhonda Jean from the Down To Earth thread seems to use it alot and I've seen it mentioned for household cleaning...

    I got the longlife milk (semi skimmed, 18 litres) and 6 of the Cheerios BOGOF (600g) as Mr EL likes them. Plus a few staples like Marmite (250g for £2), Tesco tuna in springwater etc.

    Thanks, I could do with using Tesco.com as I can't drive but didn't want to have to spend £50 to get a code that covers the delivery charge. Fingers crossed that my Clubcard vouchers come tomorrow as I was hoping to use any extra point coupon codes that come with them too.

    I often find that I spend more shopping online as I make the order up to £50 so I have a code to cover the delivery charges.
    Nevermind the dog, beware of the kids!
  • just updated my totals. Just under £45 left till the end of the month. Fingers crossed we'll do it!

    Another £7.57 spent for me (already) - packed lunch for holiday club partly to blame - I'm finding the recording all my sins on the forum useful though - it certainly focuses the mind. Some of your monthly amounts are amazing!
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!

    Hi tried to catch up on the thread but far too many messages!!!!!!!

    Updated sig, £236.87 spent so far. I think I will be within budget if all goes according to plan!!! SHould have a few nsd's as went to MrT's today - it's terrible in there in the school holidays!

    I got a bargin at Mr S on Thurs. Went in with the girls to pick whatever they wanted for tea as a treat, should have been going away but DH still offshore, long story, twice tried to go away, hopefully he will be home this week so we can go this weekend, anyway, on the woopsie shelf there were 2 poussins (sp?) 40p each - WHAT A BARGIN. Had one sunday for lunch with veg etc and had the rest of it in tortilla wraps for tea tonight, girls at the moment want sausages all the time.
    Anyway, chattered enough, hope everyone is having a good month, sorry to hear about the pets, thinking of you all and well done Denise on the job.

    Need to sort my life out! :T
