    Morning Everyone

    Hope I get some pennies today. just sent DH to Mr M's to get brown bread and salad. Yes! we are on a healthy eating plan trouble is DH doesn't think he has eaten unless it's meat and chips!! Wonder what he will come back with? I also told him to get some fruit as jam pudding and custard are out . He is not happy walked out muttering about not being a rabbit and he needs food to survive.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Anyway I am off to the shops need to change DH present of jeans that according to him have had the wrong size label put in cos he has always been the same size and these are too tight. What he really means is they didn't even meet in the middle :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Have started my pot off with 75p. No intention of going out today though and have my bus fare in my purse for the week. Don't "need" to go to the bank until Thursday.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    Welshkaz, you open the tub when you want to.
    some people will not be opening the pot till november time to help with the xmas presents.

    me personally, i am saving up for an ipad. last year i threw all my spare cash at trying to get my cc debt down, and feel that i deserve a treat:).

    speak to your husband, make a date and do not open it until then and you will get a nice suprise once you do:money:


    added £1.50, the change of a naughty chinese take away on NYE;)

    total around £105 ish, woopee!
