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!0 -
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
• 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!
• 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
