    Some small spends to report. £7 at Mr T's for soda crystals and soap for making washing powder, got some borax from ebay (£2).
    Children wanted chocolate, got some free Doves, and other bits.
    The washing powder mix went down well, clothes looked clean. Started using vinegar as fabric conditioner, and clothes were soft.
    Working tomorrow, so a NSD, hope to get to LIDL at the weekend for the weekend offers.


    Hi everyone,
    please excuse my ignorance but what are Doves?

    Everyone appears to be of to a flying start this month.

    I have not only filled my freezer with whoopsies but the overspill is now in my sister's and she wants to claim back her freezer space so I will have to start eating my way through the food mountain I have accumulated.
    In my defence most of the items are yellow stickered and they were great bargains and I did leave some others on the shelf for someone else to share in the bargains, honest!

    Have spent £42 so far this month but loads of yellow stickers in my defence or rather in the freezer.

    Forgot to mention that it is for two adults and is food only.

    Yours
