    If she has nurses in daily adult social care should(!) know

    I read that pippo but sometimes people don't see what's happening right under their noses, complacency can set in.....and are they nurses?

    Anyone else having problems with the thread? Keep getting error messages:o

    Does anyone have a figure in their head whereby they would just concede the savings game and just give up?

    I think my break even point would be 0.75% so we are not that far off

    What then - Premium bonds? At least your money is safe and you can cash them in when you need to pay a big bill

    Do you have a pension to which you can add?

    Haha, Oh Tiny, I know I shouldn't laugh, but you're very funny in this challenge! I'm feeling every anxious feeling with you and think you've only bought sensible bargains. Try to live off of £100 for food and drink for this month only, don't count all that wine in your overall total.xx:beer:

    Bargains are better:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I think TS needs a job.... just to restrict the amount of time she goes shopping!

    I do think that alcohol and clothes should not be included. If I put diesel in the equation, I would blow the £100 in 5 day!

    That is a good idea (after paying the mortgage off).
