The straight and narrow is, well, hmmm, very narrow indeed

Yay spent some money today, a whole £6.78 on fruit & veg... do you reckon that will re-ignite the economy :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Well that's the thing, I do see my friends quite often but we rarely go to the pub or have meals out. I'm not complete social outcast you know lol

I'm not complete social outcast you know lol

Well I am - count it as a compliment

Little_Maya

Well I never said I wasn't a bit :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

That is mighty impressive! I currently have presents for my Mum and Brother (eight more folk to buy for)

I just hate going anywhere near the shops around Xmas time, drives me nuts lol so I always make sure I've got everything long before then

Today's spending:
pair of jeans £10
cat food & litter £19.15
food for me £15.85

Expensive little blighters these cats aren't they?! Oh, but we love them!

Completely off track now I am looking out the window and the sky here is absolutely amazing - gorgeous orangey cololured clouds all over th eplace - like flames - I have never seen anything like it, I really should go and get thee camera and take a photo.

Aren't they just lol. Thinking of altering the litter strategy... instead of buying the decent stuff which works out at around £13 a month and completely emptying the tray every 4 days, I can get the really cheap one and change it every other day instead... would save about £5, downside is having to carry (and I'm sure it won't be the lightweight variety lol) & stock twice as many bags of the stuff. I'm lucky that the cat aren't fussy about what litter I use so might give it a go for a few months..

Did you take any pictures in the end?

Any chance you could get bulk delivery from a wholesaler, cash and carry, or maybe even a local supermarket? That said, they can be funny about delivering lots of heavy goods. I'm glad you can't tell the difference - I have a fairly powerful sense of smell (useful gift for a chef wannabe) - but I always found that the cheaper, 'gritty' stuff left my flat reeking of cat pee

Little_Maya

Well I'll try it for a bit and see how it goes... I've just taken advantage of the Sainsbury's £10 cashback on quidco and ordered next month's stock of food for the furry things as well as a couple of bags of cheap litter and some cupboard stuff for me. Grand total was £43.80 including delivery. As for the smell, why do you think I'll be changing the lot every other day :rotfl: plus I usually sprinkle some bicarb in the trays every day, works pretty well.
