    But it is only saving if you use them for something that you would spend money for anyway. I shall have a glance on their website and if there isn't anything that I can use them for that I am now paying cash then clothes it will be.

    Hi All

    Hope you have had a good day:)

    Just put dinner on, tonight its toad in the hole!

    Its now day 3 AFD, although have to admit was tempted when I came in to open a bottle of wine from STBEOH. selection.:o

    Been a busy day at work and i know I should be doing some housework tonight but just feel like chilling and maybe get on with some knitting. (Xmas pressies).

    Anyone heard from Sim?

    Jo...See you have had a busy day lol:rotfl:

    I have some tesco vouchers think I will use them towards food shopping when Im off at friends in September. Cant rally see anything else I would use them for except maybe Xmas pressies. (phew Lurks is on hols:eek:)

    It was interesting to see Weezl on here earlier, I have read her thread before and found it really interesting. Have to admit have really been good this week but only because I have spent too much of my food budget for the month already:eek:.
    Having said that my month runs from 21st to 20th.

    Well off to check the bank account, take care all will try to be back later

    love

  • Just looked at the Weezl thread - it's lovely, all warm and cosy. I wish I had time to do a huge batch cook - oh well, at least I'm making tomorrow's tea tonight cos me and DD2 are going to cinema tomorrow (Tuna, pasta, corn + ready made sauce - not very exciting). Might try some of that hummus she's making ...

  • Hi all,

    AF day 2 here. It has been a bit of a struggle this evening.
    Bells rang very loudly for the last hour. I'm just about to go for a walk to shake them off I hope.

    Hugs to anyone who needs them tonight.

    Score update later.
