the fatsecret app is a good one LT. I have various on my BB for train times, news and even when where the nearest McD's is!!!!

i think i've made my decision, i'll just leave it a little while to make sure i don't change my mind (ie that it's not a whim)0

thats sensible LT. Why not set aside 20p's or something else and save those up in the interim for your new phone or other little treat?CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera.

Morning All, well I've made £48 this week.
So, £40 I'll keep back for my getting my hair done and take £4 from the remainder and paid that towards 'Tax'. Can't believe that Egg/BC is gone, just hope it doesn't take that long till the 'Beast' is slain.CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera.

I forgot to mention I looked ou my other purse to use as a shopping purse. It'll mean I can keep my food shopping money, vouchers, gift card (I get a discount through work on the supermarket ones) etc all in one purse and really keep an eye on what I'm spending.CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera.

yay to finding your old purse, it's a policy that works well for lots of people.
Progress is very slow at the moment, awaiting responses from solicitors but we know that they're a law unto themselves and have their own timescales.0 -
Stuck in over lunch as have a hamper in the car and don't want to park the car somewhere with that sat in full view! So I thought I'd come on here and have a natter.
Its shopping day today and I have a £2 off a £20 and a £3 off a £30 shop for Sainsburys so I'll head there after work (via Aldi's as I am loving their french bread pizzas at the moment, they are SOOO moreish). Already have a gammon joint in the fridge so might do that on sunday. Sainsb seem to be selling off mens right guard anti-perspirant for 57p...... so I grabbed 4 when I was in the other day.
OH wants fondue tomorrow night so will see what goodies there are, yellow sticky ones of course. OH is working tonight so tarot me thinks and I hope that its at least busy. Started building up the £2 savings again after OH depleting them for cigs. Have sneakily started saving them up and stashing them elsewhere, is that bad? I saving initially for the craft fair in March, then a few days away with my Mum (although OH is now trying to make me feel guilty for going away as he doesn't drive and won't be able to go far).
Craft room update:- it still looks like an explosion in a paper factory but its getting better VERY slowly.
I have a mount everest worth of ironing and clean (but not [STRIKE]needing[/STRIKE] getting ironed) clothes.
Clicks.....I really need to get back into these.
Craft project..... I want to make a box frame for a heart shaped box (silk covered it had choc in it OH gave me) that I want to keep but anything I've seen is a fortune. Any ideas?CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera.

So very sleepy tonight. Had way too much pizza, I'd solely blame that but all the running around I'm doing isn't helpingCC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera.
