    Mnd if I join in? Have fallen off the wagon lately, so need a bit of a boost. Very small things today, but all mine...

    1. NSD - storecupboard breakfast, lunch and dinner, hopefully with enough for leftovers tomorrow.
    2. OS house-cleaning, I'm still saving a fortune on cleaning products!
    3. Laundry, including hemming some trousers myself to save on getting it done professionally.
    4. Online banking
    5. Meal plan for the week - healthy eating needed!

    Have a great one!
    Some days, it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps....

    Hi all

    Having my monthly visit to the thread as my CC bill is due - paying it off in full each month now I'm DF but it's starting to creep up to slightly unmanageable amounts again, plus we're buying a house and getting married in the next 6 months so I really need to start concentrating on my spending again!

    So, today/this weekend:

    Not going to Tesco, just to Co-Op round the corner for a top up shop, been too tempted by the £5 off at Somerfield vouchers being accepted at Tesco recently and now have food falling out out cupboards!

    Scratchies - lots of 10ps and a 20p

    Watching boxing in a minute, free not ppv luckily

    Going to watch the football later, will have a big lunch though so can just buy a snack for tea

    Part of the M&S £10 meal deal for lunch - chicken, then with roast potatoes (reduced in Co Op) and roast sweet potatoes (hanging round in bottom of veg bag!) with some green veg and gravy

    Have good weekends all!

    Hello to everyone

    Today I have/will:
    • Checked online banking – no change there as it is Sunday and I have used cash for everything :money:
    • Went food shopping, I managed to buy some bits for the freezer (sausages, bacon etc) which will come in handy over Crimbo :D
    • While I was there I picked up a leaflet about Sainsburys savings (handy as I shop there and I can automatically top up at the till)
    • Went to Weight Watchers and found that I had put on 0.5lb – not bad as it is TOTM! :o
    • Enter comps online
    • Meals from storecupboards

    Need to make a week's menu from my newly stocked storecupboards so I know the points values etc and I am enjoying loads of low point (filling) foods.

    Think that is about it, take care everyone
