Aww Smithy - its hard


Its ace being a part of this, as I was alone (again!) in my kitchen last night cooking for the week ahead - I didn't feel lonely - I knew someone on here would be chuffed to hear me rabbiting on about batch cooking - tis a great sense of community here keep yourself safe and happy - chin up lovie

Lol - Always happy to hear about kitchenny based moneysaving measures

Smithy - take back control of your life any way you can, it stinks when a relationship ends badly but you don't have to let it keep hurting. Cut the ties and move on with yourself in control:D

hello everyone

happy sunday. didnt get online yesterday as was at a money training budgeting coach thingie all day and when I got home, collapsed into bed until xfactor then went right back again. Slept from just after 9 last night till half seven this morning which is a mamoth sleep for me. Still not feeling all that great and have found myself in work trying to catch my tail. I now have over 40 hours overtime from last 4 weeks and no idea when I will be able to take it off! Wish we got paid for overtime

Anyway, didnt spend much money yesterday aside from a mcdonalds breakfast in the morning and a fish supper at night - how bad is that!!!!

Today
- got petrol using 5p off coupon from Mr T
- bought a whole cooked hot chicken reduced to £1.49 from Mr T today along with my juice for the office and my snacks for next week. Spend AGES trying to work out if was better getting 2 packs of 10 coke for £6 or 2 packs of 6 for £4. In the end, I bought 1 of the 10 packs and thought will just make it last LOL
- checked online banking (sorry state of affairs)
- cleared out the smellies box to work out that I am now in October and despite not buying ANY in the past year, there seems to be as much in there as I started with
- cleared out the cupboard under the sink - found loads of washing up liquid as well as lots of other cleaning products I never used so brought them in for the kitchen at work

Not done much else, have to head over to Fife shortly to pick up DD then will get a free tea when I take her friend home After that, heading home to have a bath, wash my hair and watch the rest of xfactor.....I swear if those twins get through, I might have to slit my own wrists! Big shout out for Ethan, Lloyd, Daryl and/or Ollie

Away to catch up on the thread now, its a biggie this weekend!
