    Morning all.

    Just had toasted tea-cake for breakfast with my coffee and about to plan my Tesco shop - Matchmakers are £1 in Tesco now, so I'll give "naughty" Asda a miss. Anchor butter is 2 for £2 (250g), so that'll be free with the £2 off £20 coupon.

    Going to visit the M&S Outlet Shop and also the Gap Outlet Shop (30% code/coupon available).

No plans for today except to nip to the local shop (only shop) around here for miles for some bacon, papers and there's something else but i've forgotten -can't be that important. Well will catch up later.

    am not feeling very well! Feel all sicky with tummy pains.. not good :(. DS1 had similar on Sat evening and he was doubled over in pain. I am not that bad but I really don't feel right. The reduced salad I was going to have for lunch may just have to wait.

    Well I have to say I started this a while ago, stopped shopping every day, cooking the whole bag of spuds for mash and freezing half in portions, cooking large pan spag boll, freeze in portions an so on.
    I have saved at seast £100 a month.
  • Got a bit of a shock this morning - went out to the garage to look for some soap (we didnt have any) and checked the freezer - found some cod + chip ready meals I bought at the beginning of the month that I had completely forgotten about.

    At least I wont be going hungry until our next big shop - there is LOADS to use up!!! :D
  • Poor you kats, hope you start feeling better quickly.

    I whipped up another smoothie, pear,.grapefruit, mixed berries and couple yogurt sticks, just had lunch, bacon frankfurters and 2 pittas, dinner will be a burger fancy cheese in a pitta and veg, all from freezers, I also took out a bag of chicken wings, will season for tomorrow.

    Need to pop to the post office waitrose is next door, so will pick up a free ww meal.

    My printer is not printing black very well its a refurb cartridge and only bought recently, I will stick to originals from now on.

    How embarassing was it when i got to the shop. She scaned everything through all fine go to pay with card as have no cash with me, DECLINED said i'll try again as i know there's money in that account and yes it was declined again. She said don't try again as you'll block your card so i didn't, had to walk home again and get the cash aargh. I think i was putting the wrong pin in as checked balance when i got home. So Lynsey maybe i really do need amnesia tablets today. Maybe now my day will improve a bit as so far it's driving me mad with one thing or another.
