£1 loan payments, orangutans and learning it doesn't all happen overnight...

Herewego

I fell out with Tesco this weekend, make sure you check your bill. A girl at work told me there were complaints on watchdog about overcharging and boy can they overcharge

Saw on your diary HWG - what a cheek, I would have been fuming!

We didn't accept a substitution and sent back two bags of potatoes as I didn't think they were good enough - because we paid in vouchers that actually means they owe us money, wonder how that will work?

My hula hoop arrived today :j I'm so excited - just had a go with that one and another girls - I can do two at once!

£4 to the o/d to round it to £100 and £6 to the loan

Check you out with your double hula-hooping! :rotfl:My best friend took a vid of me trying to hula hoop in toys r us and put it on facebook, oh the shame . Her phone camera wasn't great and you could hardly see the hoop, it just looks like I am having some sort of fit!!

How on earth can you do a £35 shop that lasts two weeks? I spend at least £50, if not more like £60 a week on food :eek:

Kepp

Apparently I look like a nodding dog - so I may be able to do it but it's clearly not with style! :rotfl:

Does take a bit of planning because OH can eat and eat (if you're on a budget I don't suggest being with someone who is 6ft 6 and goes to the gym every day as they eat too much! :rotfl:) but by doing a lot of proper cooking it's normally around that - we try not to spend over £100 a month.

Mine eats like a horse!

I've never known someone to eat dinner and start eating snacks/cereal less than half an hour after finishing dinner :eek:. I'm still trying to stretch last weeks shopping but he is already moaning there is no food in the house!

:rotfl:@ nodding dog!

Kepp

I can completely relate to that - mine has to eat sandwiches while waiting for dinner to cook! :rotfl:

A cheap one for this is peanut butter sandwiches - filling but don't cost much.

Kepp

And I wouldn't mind but there's no fat on him!

Would not be the case for me if I ate like that!

jtr2803

Snap! I think it's an Andy thing...girl at works OH is Andy as well and he is tall, slim and eats loads!

Kepp

Dammit - I should have been called Andy! :rotfl:

Woowoo

Morning Bec's

Phew, have only just managed to catch up on the diaries this morning - I have been busy doing that rather boring activity known as work!

I too am amazed that you can get your shop down so low and cook from scratch with all the hours you work! Am also well impressed with the double hula hooping
