Good morning everyone, so dark here today, its quite depressing arriving at work in the dark and when I leave at 4pm, its also dark!

So far this week (my week is running from Monday-Sunday night)

Monday - NSD

Total - £0/£51.50

I'm happy with that, thinking today might be a spendy day though although might try and hold off till tomorrow, need bread, eggs and fruit for lunch.

Evening all

laisbojar bus prices are shocking:eek:

saorsie fleece lined tights I think I am going to need to investigate these, it is freezing here. Make sure you feed them chickens I have seen chicken run they will revolt otherwise, them chickens is plotting!

shezam I thought the same when I opened the curtains this morning and it was still dark. I consoled myself with the fact that it is only 3 weeks until the solstice and then we start heading back towards summer:j

I went to the cinema this evening to see Resistance seemed like it had potential but I wouldn't recommend it, I hate films that don't have an ending I left the cinema feeling like I had wasted 2 hours of my life!

Anyway spends so far:

• £4 on 2 x £2 coins that go in the savings pot
• £1.50 on drinks for the cinema
• £5 on nachos at the cinema

Total £10.50



Total for the week £11.50 / £20


It is dress down day at work tomorrow for St Andrews day so £1 there. Not much else planned as have soup and ham salad sorted for lunch.

Sunday NSD

Monday £1.10 on an emergency bag of chicken corn + 2 pairs of fleece lined tights from M &* using a 10% off code and qu*dco £17.10
I reckon I'm on £18.20/£40

Tuesday Yummy fish and chips for OH and I for supper costing £7.50 tally now stands at £25.70/£40

Fleece-lined tights are my new wintery best friend Pointy, sold in M & * and J*hn L*wis I believe ~ not cheap at £9.50 a pair but used a discount code and via Qu*dco so got them as cheap as I could + of course arranged to pick them up in store rather than pay delivery :cool: I am expecting wonderous things from them and undertstand from the reviews that they are quite hard wearing so hope they'll last for the entire season with careful washing.

Chickens are once more chuckling away contentedly and lady on market recommended porridge if I ever had another shortage, they are soooo spoilt, but I do love them

Wish I hadn't brought the bread rolls, only one was eaten on Sunday, the one I ate today was past its best and I put the rest in the freezer to turn into breadcrumbs.

Today I bought more cheese as it was a really good offer, but didn't need it - but at least that will last

Oh - Sainsbury's price promise. I have a voucher for £0.01p :rotfl:

Morning Everyone,

Day off & Payday = wooohoooo lol :j kids at home due to strike = no so woooohoooo . I know for a fact my food shopping is going to double as I will have to take the boys with me.

LC, I cant wait for part 2. Breaking Dawn is my 2nd favourite.. Twilight will always be number one tho.

PP, I knowwww. I normally buy a monthly pass for £48.50 any bus any time.

Now.. to the updates. Yesterday was a SD but for budgeted things anyway. I forgot I had to pay for the boys school meals. TOTAL £11.80 ( £8.80 for DS1 (£2.20 less due to today`s strike;)) and £3.00 for DS2).

Then last night I did something really naughty I wanted to make up my £25.00 on onepollcashback.. soo.. I spent £10.00 on a bingo website and got £30.00 cashback . Profit: £20.00 squiddies lol *shame on me, I know*. Soon I have £40.00 coming my way from Onepollcashback and I still have £15.00 pending, hopefully another £25.00 next month :rotfl:.
