SmlSave MFW diary - where to start?

SmlSave

Just popping in to say hi :hello:

Not spent anything today although I should have but the cafe didn't take card so my friend treated me

Looks like OH's pressie should actually be £170 instead of £200 so that's £30 spare to go towards his birthday pressie :beer:

Me and OH tried liver for the first time yesterday :rolleyes: it wasn't a great hit but we both ate it which was great as there's another portion in the freezer! Next to try is kidneys...da da DAH :eek:

Aw I love liver onions and mash with fresh carrots and cabbage, not so keen on the kidneys though, unless they are in a pub steak and kidney pie:rotfl:

You are officially invited over for dinner when the liver next comes out TPA

Not feeling very chatty today but I'm keeping up with everyones thread even if I'm not saying hi. Was up too late last night after watching Transformers2 at cinema and so am sat here with an energy drink. Got caught using a forwarded orange msg and so had to pay full price

See you tomorrow

Well done with grocery spends, if I fed the family on beans on toast everyday I could manage a low budget!

Wow, what an awesome grocery spend! I'm OK on my own, but OH just got back from six months away so I wanted to let him get whatever he wanted to eat. Hmmm... think we spent more than your month's spend in two weeks!

What did you think of Transformers2? Really enjoyed the original, was it as good second time round?

SmlSave

Hi, I'm back from a sunny weekend in Bournemouth Spent loads thou!

I fed the family on beans on toast everyday I could manage a low budget!

Ahhh evab, I think my low grocery spends just show how much stuff is still in my kitchen! and how much I used to spend :rolleyes: The freezer is still half full :rolleyes:

Hi sarah, the film wasn't even close to as good as the first one :cool: It still made me laugh and the fight scenes were good but they obviously could come up with a story line and so stole Indiana Jones'!

Anywhoo...I can't believe we're half way through the year:eek: I'm going to dig up my potatoes tonight and see what they're like - fingers crossed for a good crop

SmlSave

The potatoes were yummy I think the pits weren't big enough and I had to empty two to get enough to feed us both - I know this for next time.

The grocery total for June was very good at £120.43 but we need a serious shop this week to stock up on tea and coffee! OH has agreed not to buy alchol so this will really help

My personal spending however has gone haywire I've got to stop going out soo much.

I concur; SmlSave you need to do some penance for that enjoyment whilst we're all being good

All I did over the weekend was walk around all day and occasionally drink; it's tough when you do voluntary things in your community like stewarding events...

The downside - being called "the rubbish man" as I was clearing up at 2030hrs.. :mad:.
The upside - lost 5yr old girl rightly asked for help of a steward (me) in the crowd of about 3000 people at our music event, unable to find her family - reunited them in a matter of minutes

(You see I am a soft kind soul at heart despite what you all think of me!)
