  • Opps Colleen, forgot that. I wonder if the online activia site will work? If not I will just list everything at 99p :rotfl:

    So in the past three days I only spent on Tuesday which was my magazine for £3.99. I have now had 17 NSD's in March, and with 7 days remaining I think I will get another 4/5 in too :j April I want to aim for 20 :T

    Have a great weekend all, hopefully I won't be back as I have nothing to buy until Friday next week :D

    I lie :o I had to wait for Mum to get a lift home so I stopped for coffee £1.09 but I also know I needed some f&v so I spent £25.86 and I got a huge amount! I will list it because I am so happy with the amount, considering it was a supermarket :D
    Mixed canned beans,
    6 peppers
    Bagged salad ( 2 kinds)
    Bagged spinach
    Salad toms
    Mushrooms
    Baby corn
    Cabbage
    Thin beans
    Carrots
    Potatoes (salad)
    Jacket potatoes
    7 Granny smiths
    14 Bananas
    Watercress
    6 Pears
    Pick n mix Mushrooms
    Warburtons thins (new style bread)
    Builders tea (new tea)
    2 Slimmer milk
    5 sparkling water

    I must add I do get 10% discount but I still think its a great shop. that should last me two weeks with the exception of apples, bananas and maybe the mushrooms. I am really happy with that.

    Now I may not be going next friday because I really want to pay the £50 I have off this laptop but I maybe going to the cinema Monday, hopefull only the £4 admittance charge :D We shall see ;)

    Have a great weekend all :beer:

  • Thanks Beanie, I am quite lucky because Morrisons always have offers on their f&v which means it can be purchased at a very cheap price :D

    Saturday spends - £2.79 on 24 bottle of water, works out cheaper than buying them for 50p singly in work :T
    Sunday - NSD :j

    Have a great week all :beer:

  • Those of you wondering I took my rant down, I should be very lucky at what I have and be thankful that I can live very cheaply while at Mums.

    So Positive Pap is Back :j

    Thurs 31st spend's -
    £4.76 lunch @ work. I don't like getting lunch at work because it cost so much and the nutritonal value is shocking but I was/am ill and got up late.
    Fri 1st spend's -
    £22.00 bus ticket, should last until May
    £13.00 entry to craft show
    £67.00 spent at show :o includes an easter gift too
    £2.00 flower pot man for the garden
    £4.00 bag from charity shop for a birthday gift

    I have decided on 17 NSD's for April as I have planned a trip to the cinema and I want to purchase some tickets for London.

    So thats the end of another Month :eek:
  • £2 a day :think:

    So I am thinking of doing a memory walk in aid of Alzheimers/dementia, its a marathon walk (26miles) and takes place in September. The reason for this is because since watching Sir Terry Pratchett on tv talking about his dementia its been a disease that has touched me, I think its the worse ever disease that effects young and old. Plus the fact that I no longer run so can't raise money doing something like race for life.

    Now its £30 to join, I can do that. But you have to raise a min of £260 :o Now I know I can get a few sponsors in work but I don't have any other friends to ask. So there are 160 days until the walk, can I save/put asside £2 a day to cover the sponsor money? Its not much in reality, a mug of coffee, a bottle of coke, a sandwich etc etc but can I do it? Especially alongside main savings and saving for London?

    So another challange or don't enter? :think:

    Mmmmm.That is quite a lot to raise.
    How much do you think you would raise in work?

    Pap - I will sponsor you for that - fil has dementia. If you can pm me on how I can pay you, I will send you some money.
    Ps where is the walk held?
  • Yes it is a lot really Beanie, especially if you don't have a huge base of friends. I think its doable though. Not sure how much I can raise at work, for my 10k last year I managed about £130 but that was mostly Mum's work rather than mine :o
