Morning All
Hi to everyone and you Jane hope you feel bit better soon.

Had another nsd yest...will give you a laugh. Collected youngest son after school, 15 and 6ft tall:A...asks for money to buy a drink. Told him no and said it was a nsd day and he says.....looks like its a nsd everyday for you ma....:rotfl: if only

Thought today would have been another but the above son must have had 10 bowls of cereal rather than 2 a day...so need some milk. Ah well its good for him:D

Take care all :A

Hi everyone
Shopping day yesterday with a grand total of 187.91 It's not a bad total (and I don't think I have forgotten anything this week either :j )
Before I restarted GC I was spending around $240/wk

Starting to feel very tired and heavy these days so I think I better start cooking double dinners so were not tempted to buy take aways

goodgirl80

went into Tesco to get a few bits to try and see us through til payday. Had 7.18 worth of vouchers and the total came to 7.28, and a nice lady behind me gave me the 10p!!!

My total is £94.92

hi....first day of holiday down....quite a few to go....did anyone notice on the news that food prices have gone down in the last month:rotfl:...i must have missed that when i did my shopping

Think we all missed it didnt we or else we are all shopping in the wrong shop.

After saying I wouldnt do it I have today gone on the Te$co website to see if I can get some of the DTD money back. Only brought two bags of strong bread flour @ 1.24 each so will see in a day or so if I have it right. I worked out that seen as A$da's flour was 68p I should be due £2.24 back making the flour only 12 pence per bag. is this right or is my maths worse than I thought?

Also spent £20.74 The oxtail last night was lovely even though I didnt end up doing the gnocchi but just mash and tonight there is enough left for us all with a jkt potato and some salad.
Mrs Macawber you have inspire me so much that from tomorrow both myself and DH are going to go back on s.w. diet as we have both put a few lbs back on and it needs to come off. Must go and find the thread for it if I can, I did find it once but cant remember what it was titled so will have to root around again.

Hippeechiq - hope you got some positive results yesterday.
