    Morning all

    I haven't posted on here for ages but read all your posts. OH went away yesterday with work for 2 weeks so during that time I am planning to eat up a lot frozen left over portions to create some space in the freezer. We are going away for Christmas so wont be buying a lot food for that period. Does anyone know who sells the cheapest Baileys, this year it seems so expensive.

    The most recent post on this thread is about all the vouchers you get from the supermarkets own magazines, thought this might interest you https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3092480

    Thanks for posting all the great bargains you find, it motivates me to save money where I can.

    Afternoon all, not as cold today but there was snow this morning,instructed when the kids seen it to check before they get out of bed if the bus was still runing it was so they did eventually move. We have since had rain so will wait and see if we get more snow, though it's still lieing. Meal plan today was breakfast bagel with jam, lunch cup a soup and sandwich, dinner is either going to be sausage with pasta or mince and tatties will decide later. Oh yes got myself and dd to school ok and myself home again, think it was okay as there had been another covering of snow, i hate it when it's icey. My freezer is alot emptier than it was even oh has noticed the difference, there is also a difference in 2 of my cupboards, don't have many thought still have stocks of some things.

    Hi Lemming:- Great, thanks. Looked at what is needed for Irish Cream - all I need to buy is Camp coffee - will try that. Looked at Fudge, need demerara sugar, and I thought of adding rummed raisons at the end - yummy. Getting into the Christmas spirit
