Ok what is a cheeselet is this a culinary delight I am missing out on? Are they like mini chedars?

.

Awww, I was trying to post a picture, and I couldn't!

They're little square cheesy crisp type snacks. They aren't as 'biscuity' as mini cheddars. My landlord says they're better because you only on average 18 mini cheddars in a pack, and that's rubbish! (lol!) Cheeselets are cheaper, cheesier, and there's more of them. I'm not convinced! :rolleyes:

Glad you're like the OUTLAW term. OH's mum and stepma both introduce me to people as the outlaw daughter now. I was introduced to the term by a friend who was in a similar situation, about 6 years ago.

So are they like Sqaures but cheesy?

I think with a bit of effort OUTLAW could be an accepted dictionary term in the next couple of years.

Very late evening (or early morning!) to all!!

I think I'd like to pledge £15 again this week! Not including ESSENTIAL groceries, petrol or direct debits!!

Thanks Pointy!

Happy February! Where did January go :eek:

This week my budget is £50. It's a big one for me, but it will be a one off I think. I hope to have some left over to put in my savings tin.

Happy February! Where did January go

I agree I still forget we are in 2009.

First post updated with Diana Prince and babs2008.:D

I have to do some work at the library today and then going to my friend's house for dinner (M&S dine in deal) so hopefully should be a low spend day. I need to get my bus ticket but this is budgeted for else where so will not count for weekly spends.

Oh to clarify my budget for this week excludes anyhing budgeted for else where such as food but will include any extra treat food or lunch bought at work etc.

Enjoy Sunday everyone.

Morning, fellow budgeteers!

Where does everyone get their emoticons from? They rock! I only seem to have basic ones and Valentine's Day ones (none of which I will be using because I'm having an anti-Valentine's Day with my single girlies!)

NSD yesterday, and I'm aiming for another one today. My main downfall is chocolate-buying, but considering I put on FOUR POUNDS this week:eek: I need to stop that habit .

Happy Sunday everyone - anyone else think it's crazy that it's February already?

Thanks to F_F I have recently discovered the wonderful world of emoticons, I just googled free smilies and took it from there. You just need to copy and paste the forum version of the code then if you preview your post you should see your fab smilie. As you can tell I am easily pleased.

Unfortunately I am a fan of chocolate especially desserts with chocolate like the melt in the middle chocolate puds M&S do (which I am secretly hoping I get for dessert tonight)

What makes it worse is that Feb is such as short month so we are nearly in March!

Hi Guys Can I join in? Im going to give myself a budget of £1o for this week, Im going food shopping today ( budgeted for) and have petrol in the car, so I shouldnt really need to spend anything else this week.

I got paid on Thursday, but I really want to see how much money I can keep in my bank account until next pay day ( end of feb)

Drawstrings on purse are well and truly tightened!
