    ok well ive tried to balance out my SP and after putting in most of what I remember taking out, I owe SP £26 and 3rd P £11.50 :o I think I need to be more vigilant about paying myself back as it sure adds up over time :o

    DH came up with a cracking idea during a conversation about the food shop run as i need stuffing from Mr M, chicken from Mr A and cereal from Mr T, and ours are not that close to each other, he pipes up with 'well why dont you just order your chickens from Mr A and have them delivered for £3, as that would be cheaper than us going to pick them up! then we can just do Mr M and Mr T as they are closer together' he got a big :kisses3: for that :D

    Unless you bulk buy loads of chickens there is a minimum basket of £25 before they deliver. Don't know why though coz as long as you pay the delivery fee, why should they care how much you have spent? Sorry to disappoint you, but hope this helps
    When you were born, you were crying and everyone around was smiling. Live your life so at the end, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying!:rotfl:

    That's okay then - didn't want you to get all excited at this cost saving plan to find that there was the min basket charge of £25 and no room in your freezer for that many chickens::D

    Jake's Mum - I ordered from Mr A and then didn't for a few weeks and they sent me a free delivery e-mail. So if you could just order from them every few weeks, they might do this regularly?? I don't know, but I think I'm going to try that as a possible trick :)

    Happy Easter everyone hope you are having a good day :)
