I used to sign up with this but felt bombarded with the number of emails they sent ....

I have them sent to the same account as my freecycle ones, and nothing equals the bombardment from that! That account tends to just be for newsletters, surveys and deals, actual personal emails all go to a different one so I can ignore it completely if I don't feel up to sifting through!

:rotfl:You're right about Freecycle! Mine go to an account set up only for that & I tend to ignore it totally and go to the site if I'm actually looking for/to get rid of something.

Almost forgot I had it so guess I could add groupon to it... I think it also depends on where you live, the other problem I found was that most of the offers were in the city (30+ miles away) and not local.

Might give it another go though.

Yeah, that is an issue. It only makes sense for me as I go into the city for uni, so have to be there anyway!

NSD 5 & 6(for today) I'm been optimistic that I won't spend anything today.

Not a NSD for me - had to go food shopping

Staying at home, so NSD no 5 today :j

Spending tomorrow, but hope to have mostly NSDs the rest of the week...here's hoping!!

Defrosted the freezer this morning and have listed all its now organized contents. So this afternoon I will update my food list spreadsheet, and make a two-week menu plan, again on the computer. This will be invaluable with me being out every day this week. I will also draw up a full shopping list, hopefully I won't forget anything! If it looks like we need quite a bit food-wise, I will do an on-line order, to arrive tomorrow night when DH and DS2 are in...much better for my back!

DH has got our new printer working...it's wireless, so it doesn't have to be in the conservatory any more (too hot in summer/too cold in winter)...having problems finding a home for it though....at the moment it is on DS1's bedside table in the sitting room where the Christmas tree was...plan on having a bit move-around there later this month, when it should find a more permanent place.

Enjoy the rest of the lovely day...did a bit of tidying about in the garden this morning...though not much as my back is a bit achey.

Well Im pleased with myself for cutting my spending so drastically, the only real hiccup Ive had was the impulse but of a new breadmaker!! but Im telling mysef that a) I need it. b) it will save money in the long run. c) that ive brought it using money that I have saved by being really good! It hasnt arrived yet should have been here yesterday but hoping for tomorrow. Also did online shop, and it came to under budget too! so unless we need milk etc I dont need to buy any food for another 8 days, and £130 to feed 6 of us for 10 days I think is quite good, (certainly i compared to what I was spending!)

Friday through today have been spend days, but I am hoping the next 4 will end up as NSDs (a lot depends on whether I can get the bus or need to get a cab on Tuesday )
