    hey everyone, not updated for a while but sig is up to date, freezer is full and all I need to get for the rest of the month is a bit of cat food. Have managed to get all my cleaning stuff and toiletries in the challenge this month :) I've surprised myself to be honest!

  • Morning everyone,

    NSD hopefully for today - find it so much easier to resist the temptation to buy if I avoid the shops completely!

    IOIWE - hope you and your husband-to-be have a wonderful day and that the sun shines for you.

    Happy moneysaving

    :j :T :j IOIWE - HAVE A GREAT DAY FRIDAY - Here is something blue for you - I'm sure the sun will shine for you and you will be a wonderful bride - looking forward to the pic's...:T :j :T

    Morning all, not posted for ages cus i thought i was failing quite badly,but just looked at online bank statement and i/we have only spent £145ish so far this month.I suppose it feels more cus no we've started useing the joint account to pay for the upkeep of both cars, oh and also the shopping trip that turned a bit exxravegant cus the OH came. But i must admit the cuboards are still full as is the freezer. Had to throw out most of the stuff hubby put in the trolley (moaned about this last week) as the pepperoni started curling at the edges.
    Havent done any batch cooking or baking now for weeks cus there no room for it, cant wait to make the lemon maderia, but theres food that needs eating first.
    Has anyone been to the new Lidil in leicester, gipsy lane? wot a load of bum!! the only decent thing i got was a bit of salad and some pepperami type things, it's not as cheap as people make out, well my thoughts anyway. Well theree £55 to last the week for food cleaning stuff and tolietries so i think i may make it!!:D
    Lots of love to all that need it, congrats to all with good news,sympathy to all those with bad news, and lets hope the rain stays away today......
    Take care

    always on the lookout for a bargin always better when its free!!:T

    nessquic80-sounds like you are doing well.

    When DH buys pepperoni I always freeze some as he tends to only add it to pizza anyway.

    Morning everyone - not been on since Tuesday night and had loads of pages to catch up on so thought I'd sneak on before the girls get up.:p

    Had another NSD yesterday as we were visiting friends down on the coast, took picnic with us and then had Dinner back at their house. Must get milk today though so shall update total later. Not sure what we shall be doing today as we were due to visit another friend but she has cancelled as she has an upset tummy and feeling a bit flu like. I think it's due to all this rain we keep having.:mad:

    Must go out and dig up some more spuds in a moment, planning on making a Cheese and Potato Pie thingy for tonights Dinner, never made it before so hope they all like it. Trying to make some new dishes as been getting stuck in a bit of a rut. Must also make some more muffins, kids eat you out of house and home when they are off School.:p

    Hope you all have a great day.:D
