am planning on doing car boot when my mate gets back from kenya - next weekend - ian refuses to do one ever again cos he hated it!! ha ha
and there is no way i would do it on my own! far too scary! my car is loaded and ready to go tho!

Did you see my sig? Why dont we start it today? You wont spend THAT much over the next few days will you? might make it easier, 20th-20th, but up to you.

I think with a bit of effort you might win this one as Im at a bit of a disadvantage cos Ive been stuffing up for the last couple of weeks and overspent. Plus my OH not exactly on board....encouraging takeaways, I feel like nag of the Year "we cant afford it!"

My thinking cap is on and any second now, Im going to start spending, as we need a pint of milk, so GAH! When I get back from costcutters, I ll be going through my cupbards with a fine tooth comb!!

i have been overspending like a mad woman lately! £70 last week
i am def gonna find it hard - my cats are so fussy! i spend about £16 at least a week on their food!!!!!!!!!

Do they eat dry food? My best mates cats eat dry food only ( occasionally they might be given some chicken scraps) and the great thing is theres no waste. ( and it doesnt stink) My mate gets a big tescos dry food for about £2 and last them the month, and they have beautiful coats and are in super health. Saying that theyve only EVER been given dry food, so I guess they are easier to manage cos of that. the other thing to note is that cats will not starve if they havent got something posh to eat. Leave dry food out all day, and then some wet in the evenings or something to wean. Aldis cat food gets good reports too on the grabbit boards or wherever ive seen it, and must be cheper, though not as cheap as dry food.

Now am I puposely giving you tips to beat me?? :rotfl:

loopyloulou_3

he he keep the tips coming!! not that i need them! im gonna beat you hands down!! (she says unconvinced!!!)
they have sheba (eek) morning and night
my youngest cat will literally eat nothing rather than sheba - she has gone for weeks before without eating a thing. she is SO thin and underweight and is a nightmare with food - i have to have her weighed every 3 months at the vets cos they dont know why she is so skinny!
i wish i had that problem!! he he
although this challenge may well do my diet the world of good!! (and stop ian drinking so much beer!!!!!) LOL he wont be impressed!

lynzpower

But is the reason shes so skinny medical or feeding? Is she a rescue cat?

Cos if you are feding her sheba & shes not eating it,then you might as well feed her aldis own and see if she will eat/ leave that too

Oh I cant see my OH giving up his beers either, especially with the world cup on :rolleyes:

loopyloulou_3

nah nothing they can find medically wrong, not rescue either - probably just runt of the litter!! ah bless her!
she does actually eat the sheba (i have been known to spoon feed her! how sad?! just to make sure she does actually eat!!) turns her nose up at anything else! fussy mare!

i wont be taking ian shopping with me (not that he ever willingly comes with me!) so no beer in my trolley!

lynzpower

Im 42p down already

loopyloulou_3

ha! IM WINNING!
im aiming for a no spend today!
am being dragged kicking and screaming to spinning class at the gym -which i have never done before - and am petrified!

lynzpower

Spinning looks pretty hardcore to me lou, but I have had mates that have done it and they reckon after the third or 4th time it becomes easier

Well you have to get your moneys worth dont you otherwise its going to be time for me to use this chap again ---}
