    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)

    Morning Beanie and all who follow....

    Well done on the "another card down" - :j Great feeling isn't it. I've paid off 4 this last couple of weeks and am just waiting for the statements to come through and show a zero balance before I close them.

    Feeling decidedly blugh today - been feeling really dizzy since Sunday - I just want the world to stand still and let my head catch up.

    My Mum sent me a huge parcel of craft bits yesterday, bless her, so I shall spend the day trying to find my creative urge and drink copious amounts of tea.

    Hello everyone else. Well done on clearing the card Beanie x

    Have booked summer hols - 2 weeks in July down at Mum's. Was thinking might pop on the train to see some of the more southern DFWs (BB, Sal?) for a day or 2? Including cost of railcard was just under £130 for all of us:D

    Nice one on the cards beanie and pooky! I won't be clearing any more debts for a while I think! (well, October and another one will fall)

    Can't go to the gym today as waiting for the parcel of 10 books that is being delivered, so I'm doing housey stuff. Have emptied the bin, put the DW on, put the washing on. I still need to polish and hoover, clean the bathroom and toilet, and put the washing in the tumbler then put the towels on

    I do it all because I'm scared.
