Course Jessica

thing is we cant really run a grocery challenge thread on here, I tried to run one before it got moved to OS. I wonder whether we could start one there? Unless we just do it in our diary threads & sigs?? I think that should be fine :beer:

this is going to be exciting ...i'm getting geared up now the hubby is still crying lol saying i'm obsessive and i need to give this site a break (reckon it's cause take away's will need to be cut even more lol) but i just remind him that he is the one who kept going on about getting out of debt and having savings ..then point out how much i've already saved us from paying out ..then remind him of the dreaded s.s.p...jessicamb i have no probs with you joining the more the merrier...that way i can get more good tips on what to attempt to cook....lynz thanks for that advice i'm gonna research them all ..the more help i can get and the easier i can prove to the hubby that things don't need to change that much the better...

Hi girlies,

Can I join to please?

It's my payday on 27th of this month but could start our grocery challenge on 20th but won't do a big shop probably until start of August - however this probably doesn't matter to anyone but me!

I probably can't state an amount yet as I'm going to Rosemary Conely class on Monday (please don't shout - I know its £5 a week but am seriously overweight and doing it myself just is NOT working - this is coming out of my 'weekly' money NOT my grocery challenge) and don't know yet what meal plans are etc - but will be doing it on the cheap! There's me, OH and 2 very greedy cats on dry food (also need litter). Could say now will try for £120 but might change a wee bit if have to buy expensive things for Rose C diet.

The mods (:hello: nearlyrich!) aren't too strict on here so we should be able to get away with starting a new thread for this (sorry for hi-jacking your diary elatan!) if we specifically ask them not to move it?
