Well he said just because i have money doesnt mean we have to spend it haha, trust him to be good with his money.
It took about two and a half weeks so isn't too bad.
Asda are the cheapest I think. We always look out for deals of meat etc, as is so expensive.0 -
Great news on your OH getting more than what he thought. The starting wage is very good isn't it.
I do like Asda, they always appear to have really good offers in the paper, but my OH and I prefer to shop in Sainsburys, trust us to like the more expensive shop. The other day we went shopping and it cost us £125, it does last us around a month, but we do tend to pop to Tesco Express every other day to pick up something, not good!
Well done on the Dooyoo cheque, you seem to do really well on there! Keep up the good work chick!

Yeah think he is so happy to be earning a decent wage for the first time. I am going to leave him for a couple of months to do what he wants with the money and then I will get him saving!
I like Sainburys but we haven't got one near us.
I have transfered the dooyoo money to my ISA for the OD fund even though haven't paid cheque in yet. Thought I may as well to get the interest on it.0 -
Having a bit of a down afternoon. Haven't been feeling too well, got a sore throat and headache. The someone made a comment at work , that although was a joke upset me. Been feeling a bit fed up with work as well. Think I am just having a down day though so hopefully will feel better tomorrow.
On the plus side I have paid my cheque in. Feeling like I am getting there slowly with the money thing.0 -

Am up early today (well for me anyway). Feeling much more positive about things today.
Got some money in my account today from an amazon sale so that is in the OD fund. Very nearly at 300 of next payment. I am hoping i manage to get that last 9 pounds before the end of the month.0 -
