Thankfully today was a NSD for me, we had planned to go grocery shopping but ended up putting it off for another day.

know what you mean about oh wanting to give gifts of alcohol to people, i kept ignoring mine when he said that - never buy for ourself never mind anyone else,
now i say we shoudnt buy alcohol its no good for them

If it's my friends I either give them veg out of the garden or bake something but this is the west coast of scotland and it's pretty much the traditional currency of thanks for men! Haven't been to the shop yet though;)

Couple of small spends today. Heron for a gateaux (me and he are having a quiet luxourious day off together today) and some pepsi max, and M and S for bread, milk and I picked up some yummy cappuchino belgian waffles which were delish! Meals are mostly coming out of the fridge/freezer/cupboards as we're trying to run down stores before the wedding/honeymoon. Tonights tea was nummy sweet chilli chicken with mild curry supernoodles.
So not a bad start, gonna do some massive spends tomorrow fortunatley not grocery related, paying the florist, which isn't quite as :eek: as I thought it was going to be.

CupOfChai

Hi everyone, I've been shopping so have a spend of £26.12 to report. Aaargh. Far too much to have spent already. Why do I keep spending too much at the start of the month then scraping by the end? Stupid irresistible offers. I have however saved £5.50 according to the receipt and my brain, and some of it will go toward meals in other weeks so it wasn't all just on one week.

I just wish I could have a few spend days of 93p like majjak and £1.87 like Long tall Sally, or even a couple would be nice!

Off to update signature...

Hippeee, the 93p was before my online Mr A delivery came this evening :rotfl:, total is now £56.11 which is a whole lot better than the £100s I've been spending :eek: Mind you, cupboard is all green and white (Smart price :rotfl:). Bit of a case of suck it and see with what their basics range is like, if we don't like something we'll re-think if the situation arises.

Kids are slowly getting used to the new ways but it's only been a week so we've a long way to go yet. It's the snacking their finding hard but I'm combating that with baking and fruit . Choc muffins in the oven as I type :drool:.

Hopefully, we'll only need topping up with a bit of bread/milk as the week passes ............ off to update sig, have a nice evening folks :beer:

I have to take my car for a service on Saturday (after taking a certain Ashia to a hair appt:D) I had planned on takeing in a trip to MrS (which is almost next door to the garage) and today a £6 off a £30 spend has arrived. I don't often use these vouchers as they encourage me to spend too much, but this will be useful and timely.

NSD today:j
