    Sounds like you're making progress Shopgirl. Glad to hear you've cancelled that insurance too!!

    I know what you mean about shoes - I had to promise when I bought my last expensive pair of party shoes that I'd make them last well - sadly they kill my feet and only go with plain black so I've only worn them once - LOL! I've made the previous pair last exceptionally well though - they must be coming up for ten years old now and still holding up well! Mine are all stacked up in boxes in the wardrobe so it's a devil to sort out what's where.

    Well done shopgirl!

    We love meal planning, something to look forward to for the week and has really reduced our spending - last two weeks shopping about £50 per week. I've started getting deliveries as easier than dragging round baby plus getting discount vouchers too. My mum spends about £80 on her and my dad! But then she always buys branded products.
