cw18: grrrrrrrrrr to DS and the milk ruining your NSDs.:mad: Have you thought about freezing some and getting it out half way through the week? I do that and it’s great, I use skimmed and it doesn’t last as long as full-fat or semi, found I was throwing loads away, I don’t anymore. It definitely would have been rude not to stock up on those lovely dark M@rs, especially as AF got them in specially for you;).....

Have thought about freezing milk, but I'd need some space in the freezers in order to do that - which means resisting Whoopsied meat/pies/fish or making DS do without his ice-cream (his only 'indulgence') I actually find that the skimmed keeps for much longer than the others, but DS won't touch it at all - and only drinks semi under sufferance when there's nothing else in the house.

I thought the same about the M@rs - it was like they were there just for me, so I grabbed the opportunity while I could

After buying milk & cream in the morning, I picked up a few Whoopsies as I left work (including bread, which I'd forgotten we needed) - and then had to go back down after tea, as it was only while cooking I realised I only had enough frozen veg for one more day..... so I squashed freezer contents around so I could restock on that last night, rather than risk losing an NSD purely for that later in the week

....This challenge is fantastic. It is actually making me think about what I spend my money on ... and at the moment, I can't believe I don't want to spend anything. Had to buy a new garden hose and jet power wash yesterday and was upset that I had to spend money. Can't believe I am the same person and am actually enjoying not spending money more than I use to enjoy spending it. Thanks to everyone on this thread for keeping me motivated.:T

It's great isn't it I really don't know what I would have been doing without this Challenge. Like yesterday, I could have easily walked into the supermarket for the milk I was frightened of running out of [we haven't :T] & the couscous I forgot last week [but didn't need for our evening meal :T] & would have spent at least £20 just on things I thought I hadto get between 11am yesterday & whatever time I go out today
It all points back to how previous generations had to manage with restricted shopping hours-- 9 - 5.30, half day Weds & Sat & no Sunday opening & definitely no internet :eek: And, of course, hardly anyone had a bank account so no access to over-draught or credit cards either..sounds like bliss in a way doesn't it

I'm off to read SF's diary & have a think about what a nine year old boy might find interesting Before I go tho, :wave: MotherShipton & *sung Adam Faith style please* "I am haaaff-weigh to Target-pleeez; ssso nee-ar, yet sso-faa er-weighhhh". I :heartsmil fifties & sixties music, deffo born too late but enjoy the majority of toons apart from jazz & opera really.
In other words, can you clock me on 7 please Solvent?

positivelypurple

No. 7 for me yesterday :j However, we had a major disaster with one of our cars - I don't even want to think about how much a new (to us) one will cost :eek:

I've been on a 'spending' roll today - school fees for one child :eek: school photos for another :eek: football club :eek: language classes :eek: packet of crisps x 2, actually that was the easiest bit of my day so far! I didn't need to do it all today but figured that I would get it over and done with today.

And I want a third child No wonder DH goes a bit :eek: every time I mention it.

Claiming early to-day definitely going to be a NSD. Disaster has struck this morning, the dog just ate a cheque for £235 for some gold I sold through hatton Garden Metals!!!!! The said cheque is now in about 15 soggy bits!!! Have emailed to ask for a replacement, no doubt this will test their customer services!!!!
