Good shopping budget?

A pesto and a butter bean mash - what great ideas! See i just have no imagination when it comes to food. Many thanks

The next chance we have to get a bed will be next week, so will keep thinking about it. I know someone who can get us a good discount at Vogue furniture, but i bet they are still mucho expensive! Keep checking gumtree too in the hopes someone lists a cheap one.

A request on Freeecycle fot the bed/duvets. people end up with spare bedding and this is easily washed.

ask at charity shops, they don't have everything out.

Lucky. Just the thought of eating all that in one day has made me put on about 3 pounds!

Woolworths have some half price duvets at the moment. I got a 15 tog single for £8 this morning for my son to take to Uni . They have some packs of 12.5 tog duvet, pillows and mattress cover half price as well. I can't remember how much but it seemed very reasonable to me.

They also had some half price organic cotton bed linen which looked rather nice but I didn't buy as we don't need
