Hugs to you Janey - thanks for being brave enough to tell us how you are feeling. I imagine the days can be full of such moments.
SF - really sorry to hear about the job and such 'no' notice too.
Penny - Great post and I agreed with it: this forum has helped me get myself orgainsed in time for the crunch.
Nyk - great post. Belonging to this community makes frugalising much more fun. Like the sound of the chickens.
Shaz - well done on the budget:T . Welcome to the foru macwah
SM - I thought of you yesterday in the charity shop: they had a book on 'good dentistry practice' circa 1970:D . New washing indoor hanging thing now in use and it is fab.
Was given a packet of sausage by m-in-l yesterday and they are now with baked beans/passata & kidney beans in the slow cooker. Will do for OH dinner tomorrow too as I am out all day at parents til late:j . On the way home from work, some students were doing a 'be nice to people it's xmas' stunt and handing out free cake, so got a nice hunk of choc cake for OH. If he drifts off into a haze with a fixed smile on his face this evening, I'll have a guess at what it was laced with:rotfl:

Janey - remember the song and the video my heart goes out to you and cheryl too i just can't imagine .......................

Slowlyfading - you sound optimistic despite the job loss good luck finding another

BB thanks - pleased i finally posted my budget the thing i will struggle with is the grocery budget my meals cost very little but i still spend a lot on groceries mainly because i stockpile and cannot resist a bargain

I could probably feed us quite well for 6 months with all the food i have put by..... 52 jars of jam and marmalade anyone ??!!!

Best plan for now is stay out the shops....................

Well that was a bit of shock. I'm still getting email updates from estate agents, so I wasn't expecting them to send me details of the house I'm supposed to be buying with the header 'now back on the market' :mad: :eek:

I was even more surprised when the estate agents answered their phone at 7pm. Person at the other end was very apologetic and promised it will be sorted out in the morning. I think someone had pressed the wrong button...
