Lulabelle06

Did buy facewipes from boots the other day but i essentially got them for free due to offer on nail polish and smellys which i bought as a christmas present for my friend. so not going to add it on technically had a NSD, however as I spent £30 in next on a wallhanging so I still feel naughty! but it was a treat as I sold dvds on thursday and got £39!! xx

Yesterday and today's spends:
£1.79 in B&M on two jars of Sharwoods Breyani, £1 in POund shop on packet of cranberries, £10 at the market this morning on Fruit and veg and £2.29 on cheese - so £15.08 in all.
Also spent £42 in Pets at home on about two weeks worth of kitty fodder:eek: fortunately on a different budget.

So have totted up all the receipts so far and entered them on my Spendometer on the phone and its looking bad as I have spent 214.76 of my 425.00 budget. BUT I have got my meal plan sorted until 24th Sept apart from fruit, veg and bread top up (some milk n bread in freezer). I will stay strong and keep out of the local Co-op etc unless I need basics, plus will do it before picking kids up from school or thats over £1 gone on sweeties they dont need!

Am feeling positive at the moment. Made a fresh cream victoria sandwich cake and plan to do more baking in the week to keep the munchies away.

Another NSD for me today:T
Feeling chuffed with myself, normally I would probably have nipped to the shop 2 or 3 times by now!

Hope that helps:)

Well been a NSD so far, even though we've ran out of milk.

Decided to go looking for brambles today, ended up under the motorway bridge and found quite a few blackberries, no where as many we usually do. but no matter, bramble jam for us!
then out of the corner of my eye i spotted three, yes three apple trees:eek::eek:.
Unfortunately someone beat me to all the eating apples, but no matter we got three small ones which were lush. Found some quinces and crab apples. :T So we know where to find them next year .;)

oops just looked at the time better start on dinner .

Just back from doing the weekly shop at Mr T - spent £57.92 for the four of us which isn't too bad, and should cover all meals for all four of us for the week, plus cleaning materials etc.

Hello all,

Have been missing from the GC for some time now but a very expensive holiday and shopping for the new school year has brought me back.

Can you put me down for £400 please Helen Jelly and thanks so much for taking over the updating. I know it takes time and dedication - we really appreciate your efforts :j

We've already spent £100 stocking up the cupboards and fridge after many weeks away. Hopefully I've remembered everything for the school lunches on Tuesday :rotfl: only fruit needed before next Saturday now.

Spent £5 today - £1 on a bag of homemade tablet at the market *essentials!!* £3 on a HUGE bottle of veg oil and £1 on a box of 4 Cadbury Turkish Delight choc ices from Farm Foods.

Have got 4 carrot cakes in the oven to munch and freeze and give one to the outlaws, and forgot the bread flour argh!

A small spend (£12.03) for me today, mainly packed lunch bits for the kids in readiness for next week but I forgot my lunch and had to buy it (Grrrrrrrrrrrr !) Am on a bit of a health kick too so a ready made salad was the best option but at £3 it wasn't cheap ! There's not a lot of choice around where I work, so needs must !

I did manage to save a couple of £££s as used DSIL discount card :j
