Ches

Pleased to report I am doing OK. On Friday I am halfway through my month and I have £4.76 left to last me until then. All I will need tomorrow will be eggs and milk and I have plenty in for meals so doable I hope.

Just a couple of spends yesterday Mr Ts and today thought I would have a NSD but had to get some peppers for stir fry (left over chicken from yesterday) so they cost 1.60 at the local farm shop (thought that was quite expensive but otherwise would have used petrol going to morrisons). So hopefully a NSD day tomorrow, Im on nights all week and decorating to do so that will keep me out of the shops unless there are any major bargains!!

Not spent anything on groceries since Saturday but have just realised that I'm almost out of one type of dog food and diet coke - will have to pop to the shops after tea or the pooch won't have any tea tomorrow and that just won't do! (very vocal dog!)

Will report back with the spends later

Feeling a litle under weather today plus a bit blue..no reason why just am:(

Anyway Mr Amaz0n delivered my pack of 18 loo rolls - £7 Thank you and a lovely nice free cardboard box to go with it too -very useful- might stick my head in it as that's how I feel:o

I also ordered the multi purpose cleaner with febrezzzze in it -6 for £6 x one litre size I think - due end of week.

Think that these might come out of my stock pile 2nd purse rather than general GC as I don't think I will be using the whole lot in one month not useless I get a massive urge to clean the whole street.

Think I need milk though as DD2 has guzzled what I had.

Rainy-Days

Had hoped for a NSD today but hubby has just come back from walking the dog with 4 pints of milk, mince pies and 2 bags of bread flour.

Apparently the weather is that horrid we have to have mugs of coco with a hint of nutmeg and mince pies snuggled on the sofa in front of the fire! Nice to know he can still be a real sweetie some times things have been that stressful lately I've missed having nice little moments.

Aww that's really nice - the mugs of cocoa with nutmeg sound lovely-might have to give it a try.

Well I am certainly not feeling 100% - just returned form picking DD2 up from friends -stopped off for petrol and some milk and bread and spent £24.06:eek:in Mr M's
Did buy some quorn frozen stuff for two of DD for Xmas and wrapping paper too plus the bits I forgot off my list on Friday(mostly for packups and some nice braising steak for tea one night) but for some reason fresh apple turnovers,apple pies,cheesy dipper things(albeit reduced )lemon curds feel magically into my basket...........hmmmm

Next time DD2 can stay in the car with the dog def cheaper if she did.
