    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    Hi New!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Hello everyone, especially Moose and New.

    Luc, gorgeous dress.

    Linda, thanks for the poo cam link again, I'd lost it. Blimey those kittens have grown a lot!

    Well, after yesterdays moan fest I'm feeling a lot better. Need to go to Mr. T's, and I'm going to go have my last free Starbucks, I'll take my economics textbook and do some work.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
  • Morning everyone and welcome to Moose :T Just about to leave for work :o I have tried rinnig 4 times this morning and its either 'We are out of the office, leave a message' or engaged (which I guess is someone else leaving a message) :o So I shall have to wait and see if they leave me a voice mail while I am at work today. Ah well...

    Luc, I hope the group leaves on a happy note. But I do agree and think its time to mopve on :D
    Sally, Huge hugs to you, take care :A

    Morning All

    Wow...I managed to make the chat in the morning for once. Welcome to the newbies too.

    I'm still feeling poorly, stupid germs, need to get them out of my house but dont have the strength to clean up.
    Going to try to stomach some juice and a biscuit and see what happens.

    In other news, I am meal planning so I can try for my first sub-£60 food shop tomorrow, anyone have any suggestions for yummy meals we could try??

    Hugs and lots of love to those in need.

    well Tesco do a reasonable curry sauce for 4p a tin yes you read that right 4 pence, its one of the tesco value ones and it is in a tin not a jar but add it together with a little bit of meat some potatoes raisons (for sweetness) and any other veg you have or want, managed to make a meal for 4 of us yesterday for just over £2 and most of that was the cost of the meat

    cant forget the scabby turtles ;)

    mushroom, leak, potatoe and chicken gratin costs roughly £4 for 4 people
