Me too, I got Granary. The white was cheap on the SEL but there wasn't any. I think wholemeal was full price so much dearer.

My Mum spotted that the large boxes of branflakes were only £1 rolled back from one pound forty something which is very cheap.

evening all,

so have had my hair dyed and had my nails done (one not so good as the rest tho ) and am finishing the packing now. i'm struggling and need to cut down a bit, i ALWAYS over pack but thats another story, am trying to cut down from (not as stressed now, just talked to my mum and read my list out, she thinks i've got it about right )

so i'm not likely to get back on after this i wanted to send you all hugs, pimms and wedding cake!!!!!!

i'm so glad i have all of my friends here and i really appreciate all your kind words.

ooh I could do with a good wedding :-) . Hope you have a lovely day.

Was just wondering if there's a thread/list anywhere of things to stockpile?

I have always had a lot of food in but have been trying to use stuff up as lots of dodgy date stuff. This month's GC has gone well since the ex moved out have hardly spent anything for me and DS. I also have a £5 voucher to use at Mr T. It now seems suddenly that my business will have to close by xmas, so the plan is to leave the GC the same and use any excess to stockpile to help us though the leaner times to come.

NSD for me today :j:j

But my current balances are :
Grocery - 90.78/60
Travel - 40.95/30 (but we've been house hunting so unexpected train/bus fares! )
Extras - 123.82 - Mainly clothing or stuff for winter proofing the house (spent before I started house hunting)

Travel costs tomorrow, and I'm supposed to be getting the end of DD's uniform and school stuff which is the extras budget, but I shouldn't in theory have to buy any groceries until Tuesday when DD gets back from being at Ex's for a long weekend

So far, I'm on target, but nothing left for emergencies ... you know, chocolate, wine, cheese ....
