Fire Fox's Debt-Free in 2009 Diary

Welcome Fying Fresian: your kitties are gorgeous!
I will have to introduce them to Noah when he arrives. I did go out last night, spending £10 on a Chinese takeaway 
and £4 on a taxi home; already had the wine in stock as it was a Clubcard voucher purchase.
Just spent another £85 at PetPlanet :eek: on James Wellbeloved dry food (free storage tin), Orijen dry food (free litter the same as Noah uses), a top-opening cat carrier and large hooded litter tray. Remembered to click through from TopCashback for 7% off! :T Now need to confess on the Grocery Challenge thread ...Declutterbug-in-progress.⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️0 -

Fire Fox, I still vote for a puppy...
Seem to sound quite positive now, I like it better when people are sounding happier !0 -
I really can't have a puppy here - it's a flat, there is no green space nearby AND Noah doesn't like dogs! Why don't you get a puppy Claire? :T I'm still very tearful at random times, but distracted by Noah which was the plan.
Been to Tesco to spend a load of vouchers and realised a £6 one expired yesterday. :mad: Ended up with £64 of groceries for £41 after coupons, of which £27 was food (including two reduced organic chickens) and £14 on six bottles of wine.
Also been to Pets at Home to buy a cardboard scratching box for £5 and £2.50 on ten pouches of good quality cat meat at Home Bargains, taking my Grocery Challenge total to £73/ £100 just ten days into my month!! :eek:Declutterbug-in-progress.⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️0 -
I have a flat, green space near by but I know that Id be a rubbish puppy owner, the whole training not to pee over my stuff would be the end of me.0

Am I right in thinking OH finishes at work in a couple of days. Any news as to when he'll be going?
