  • HI happy.:D i try to keep posotive its going to be a long haul for me prob debt free 2017 so i try to take each day and plod on baby steps is my motto!:).
    Been to arg&S today as its 3 for 2 and got 3 ds presents cheapest free was 22.99 so well worth it!
    Then went to tesc& and got a nerf lazer gun for £7.50 it was marked £15 offer was £5 off but scanned at £7.50:T.
    Also bought a tin of cadbury biscuits in morris&ns £5.49 instead of £10:T.
    Dont know if i mentioned it but i bumped my car:eek: into a post and needed a new back light casing sourced one form ebay £20 and the garage will fit it. There was a time i just would have booked it into garage and just paid the bill. Nice man in garage suggested i do that though so cant take credit really!:rotfl:
    Just made shepherds pie with reduced lamb very nice to! Did cheat and use ready made mash though as its cheaper than buying pots and all the gas to boil them (yes really);).
    Full now (need a piggy icon).

    I did the 3 4 as well as Argos, but for DD birthday, got her Simpsons Cluedo, Chocolate rotator, and got Hello Kitty backpack and stationary set free £13.

    Mother hen moment!! - don't forget to check the clearance section at your local store, on home page, half way down, where the boxes of writing are, yellow box, with black writing, rather than searching trhou 3.000 sale items, your store might only have 300, but overall found that I've managed to get 95% of the items.

    The best today was pr of 9ct gold creole earrings, £28 reduced to £8. xx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx
