    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    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)

    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.

    i might try however have a very busy evening tonight, got to get passed the road works on the way home tonight (the quality resurfacing of the duel carriage way colapsed and closed the road for the last 2 days) then cook the food, and then shes got a 'cash my gold' party she is going to - mainly to just get out of the house and not sell anything however i expect if she gets offered a good amount she might sell something

    oh well one step at a time, i am just happy we have so far managed to go from screaming, tears and rants at the weekend to actually looking into making some proper changes on the tuesday! if i can get the changes in place by Saturday i will be one happy bunny
