That's a big list!! Hope you manage to work your way through it all

The games night is great, thats what we do every week at mums, have a fab weekend....if you get a chance to relax that is! :rotfl:

Haven't made huge progress through my list but mostly they are sunday to do things!!! (or so i tell myself!)

just spent a whopping £84 food shopping. :eek: So we have spent £115 already! Though i have really go almost everything we need apart from extra milk and veg. Obviously a few things will crop up but i am pleaed! We also went to a supermarket that is closing down to get the bargains. Got 2 months worth of pasta, DD1's cereal for 2 months , 2 months worth of orange juice, bargain tea bags and cheap marshmallows to use around the campfire while camping!!! Oh and at least 4 months worth of washing up liquid. All at clearance prices! So have £84 left as we have reduced this month budget to £200 from £220

I am going to try and save on the budget each month but £200 a month was my goal from the original £270 + we were spending. I don't want to lower this or we will end up comprimising on food. I will keep the bugdet at £200 and any savings will add to our overpayments

Right OH is cooking gammon, egg and chips! OMG smells good!! We have onion and cheese rolls which smell awesome!! Better get off to eat! x

Mmmm, gammon.....dribbling just thinking about it!!

Shopping sounded fab, lots to see you through so hopefully you'll come in below budget :T

Love the idea for wedding party - exciting stuff!! xx

Gammon was gooooooooooooood!

Just signed up for Butlins bingo! Did my 2 free sctratches as it is a sunday and got a 50p on my second go!!

Though reading on the boards looks like they are clamping down on people who use them for scratches only :mad: So i am thinking perhaps i will play one of two 10p games of bingo a week. Surely that won't class as 'taking advantage'?? Will have to see.

Right off to watch the race!

I'd just do it a couple of times a month Kel and see what happens, i've been doing it for ages and they've not done anything just yet. Great on the 50p - I love free money

Ooh I haven't read anything about them clamping down...

What you could do Kel is play the 1p bingo when they have it, I normally get an email saying that they are doing bingo tickets or scratchcards for a 1p minimum stake. Do a couple and at least it looks like you are taking part! You must have had the 50p that was earmarked for me this morning as I only got 2 x 10p :rotfl:

I lurveeeeeeeee Gammon, we have got honeyed Gammon for roast dinner today, yum! :T

Enjoy the race

Well i have been a lazy girl today!! Hardly done anything!!! Though tomorrow i want to get up early for the cross trainer and a bike ride so tomorrow will be my kick up the !!! day!!

Just for fun i used 10p in the butlins bingo today to play a bingo game! And i WON £6.81!!!!!!! Woohoo i was so suprised! I never win anything!! So should be able to withdraw £10 in a few weeks when it is topped up with scratches!!! I'm not sure whether to add to xmas fund or debt clearing!

Right better get off to bed as i am tired now!!

Still 2 more days off!!!

Well you'd need the whole set, it would look wrong without :rotfl: The last wedding list I saw had some right expensive stuff on it (wonder if anyone actually buys it?) so you could try lol

What did you think to the race? I loved the RBR crash (I'm blaming Webber though :rotfl: ) Shame Jenson couldn't sneak past Lewis though.
