Risen from the ashes ...

So ..... it's Saturday :j and (as usual) up at a ridiculous hour:o and it's chucking down

Looks like more washing hanging around all over the house .... it makes such a difference getting it outside & I'd tidied the spare room of airers during the 2 weeks of good weather .... hate bringing them out again! *sigh*

Still, the F1 is on the Beeb for the 1st time this year (which will save my download limit a bit as I won't have to watch it online:)) which I'd forgotten about .... so quite a nice start to the morning.

Heading off to nearby town later - need to drop money off for the window cleaner (I know!:o big luxury but my windows don't turn in IYKWIM and I'm not good with ladders!).

Will be popping to the Co*op ... fingers crossed they have lots of lovely BB & SG:D

Not sure what else I'll get up to ..........

I'm going to respectfully disagree If it's not putting you in debt to buy lots now then do it as it's a saving over the year and a treat to boot. I just bought six months worth of hairdye. I didn't need[/] that many when I bought them but I've saved at least £14 by buying them on offer, so it's totally worth it. Things like that don't really have a use by date either

cleggie

FF- you definitely have a point there! I guess i was seeing it from my budget, which means i couldnt afford to stock up on a years worth anyway :rotfl:

Well ..... didn't get enough to last a year .... despite going to the bigger store, there wasn't a lot on the shelves (obviously everyone is doing the same thing!).

I did manage to get 6 of each, so that's 9 I've got in total:j will keep me going for a fair while and I'll use a "nice" one, then a "cheap" one to make them last a bit longer:rotfl:

Anyway, quite pleased with that as 9 would be £19.80 full price, and I paid £6.60;)

Budgets all looking a bit sad but I have paid several things for the year now . Groceries ..... well, still on budget for April (which is a stocking up month so there is a bit extra) but still 1/2 the month to go, so looks like I'll be over again!:o Hoping it starts to balance out a bit shortly .... have stocked up on a fair few things now so it needs to!:p

That's a good saving

As the "nice" ones were cheaper does that make them "cheap" ones now or still "nice" ones?
*think I'll go away now and stop trying to confuse you (and myself)*

Glad it's not just me that thinks like that :rotfl:

As long as they're still "nice" that's all that matters.
Even if they were "cheap" :rotfl:
