Finished the crimbo shopping today, paid cash for everything to resist the "plastic temptation" and stuck within my limit with a pocketfull of change to spare! (approx £9 :j)

A year ago Id have wasted that change on fags and vending machine snacks. NOT TODAY my friends!!! Straight into the pot it went with a clunk. Hooray for me.

Keep up the good work folks!!!

A few sentences like that are a real pleasure to read, Nige! You're a credit to young people - very well done indeed, especially with kicking the evil fags!!! :T

Very well done, Dee, Jackies, Georgiegirl (:idea: I think) and PloddingAlong. You too, lippy, NDSs are always good.

I'm pleased about that FF...though at first I thought you were going to say you'd give a bit to me! :doh:

Oh, very well done, fishcakes! A good job nobody had their knee well-aimed!

Good for you too, Palema, kochi1, sonas_baby AND LC!!! You'll need everything out of your pockets if you're to get on that treadmill.!!! :rotfl:

Have a lovely Christmas Eve everyone, but don't let the shops have too much of YOUR cash!

Sue x Anyone else wishing to join, please say the word, you're most welcome. And A Very :xmassign: All just in case any of you won't be on for the next few days.

Good morning everyone & a very very happy Christmas Eve to you all.

I am back from getting my last few fresh bits & pieces at Sainsbury. For me shopping is never a pleasure, but this morning was the closest I'm ever going to get; at 0550 hours it was virtually deserted. Some of the shelves looked as though they'd been ransacked & staff were busy restocking. I took my list, stuck to it & got everything I wanted without having to resort to more expensive alternatives because it was all in stock. So happily, I am within budget this Christmas & now will not have to buy anything except milk until the new year.

The sales adverts have started on tv!!! I can't believe it. They must be desperate for our money if they're at it so early. I shall not be visiting the sales this year. There is nothing major we need & I will not be tempted by their offers. I have decided that when the adverts come on I shall leave the room & be out of earshot & do something constructive, like pour myself a gin & tonic. The only time I will allow myself to peep at the sales is when I visit the supermarket in January; if I might spy bargains for birthdays & next Christmas.

The change from our Christmas budget has gone into the pot this morning & I have rewarded myself with a brew. Its not much, but I do think that without this thread to keep me motivated it could well have been an overspend. A big thank you for that x

A very merry Christmastime everybody.

93p from DH's wallet this morning All adding up nicely!

merry christmas eve everyone, did the dreaded tesco run yesterday and the shelves were EMPTY!! ended up having to stop in Co-op on the way home to pick up all the stuff tesco was missing, might as well just have gone there in the first place :rotfl:

Had to use my dreaded tesco CC :mad: but it was onlt £48 so there will be no probs in the new year paying it off with no interest incurred and i'll get the extra clubcard points so not all bad :T

DS did his shopping with his gran yesterday aswell and had 15p left so i waved my pot infront of him and he dutifully popped the change inside, hes such a god boy

Dont think i'll have change today as its my mincepie baking, house cleaning so santa doesnt fall over in the dark, veg preparing day
