    hmmm might try that next weekend. Got loads of campbell just didn't know what to do with it.:o:o

    So are you till wearing nappy is that why you have been buying in lorry load?:D me wearing tena - Blue has been getting lorry load for me since I am so old.

    me out of nappies now (though the huggies starter kits were a godsend ;)), me now in dry nights and stocked up on toilet roll 'cos I'm a big girl now :eek: :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Oh been working his way through my stash of c'bells tomato soup like a trojen, he wasn't 100% keen on it at first but now has decided he love it.

    Got a load of mini meals from the Mr T offer (when they were 18p) still, thinking of mixing one of the chicken and sweetcorn ones in with some normal pasta to make it go a bit further.

    Official recipie name for the soup and mince (oh, sounds gross put like that!) is 'machete' ....don't ask..I have no idea why!

    right better do some work! JPJ and swagbucks and daily clicks here I come.
  • oh dear god no. i'm 21 and only realised in august how much i spent on shopping so i needed to get smart with it. now we're smart with everything!.
    Don't feel 21 most of the time, i think i'm 40 at heart.

    I have a normal fridge freezer ;) three drawers in it and full to the brim! theres no way i would spend money on another freezer as it defeats the object of saving money as there is only 3 of us in this house. I don't like to buy 50 of an item just because i have a coupon. just buy what we need! :D

    i've been reading alot about this KV person and not sure what she/he is thinking when posting things!! Why pretend to be 12? wierdo! x

    Goals: Save £500 for emergencies, Save £200 of Amazon vouchers for Xmas, fix my holey clothes!

    we think it is someone who used to post before and probably got PPR - posting privileges removed.

    this is their attempt to be clever and play silly games, that is what I think anyway.
  • haha how silly! i think i might have to read some of her posts to try work it out! i'm guessing she's a she because she posts like a woman. x

    awwwwwwwww well done DD.

    and pft to wm! When I lived at my Mum's house, we didn't have a WM for years, we couldn't afford it, only got one when brother got married and his friends bought him one for a wedding present.

    We used to wash our clothes by hand in the bath. Now... I don't know how we managed! there was seven of us living in the house and only 3 did the washing until I was old enough to do my own!

    Talking of Washing Machines. Have you noticed that no one in EASTENDERS has a washing machine in their own home. I don't think that's very realistic. Having said that they all live on the square but go to the cafe to get tea and coffee and frequently breakfast
    The end is nigh
  • Read the comments left by readers, cheeky so and so's, they are quite insulting about us couponners.

    Whose the mug I say.

    The person who gets their shopping for less than half price or the person who pays full price. Doh, can't they do the maths.



    CWxx

    Completely agree CW, when I explain to people in work about my shopping and couponing most are very negative about it all, yet they all have families and claim money is tight.

    I just don't understand why people don't want to reduce their shopping bill by 80%!

    Good morning everyone

    Hope you all have a happy day today.

    I need a rest, had a busy weekend listing on ebay, and hope I get rid of loads of my junk/treasure to make my hard work worthwhile.

    Take care everyone
