    I feel very guilty :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: and what is Kerri's 2nd purse challange sounds interesting

    XLC2

    Kerri has started her own challenge where you have a 2nd purse that contains £10 which is specifically for buying things that are on offer and building a stockpile, then everytime you use one you 'buy' it off yourself at the current retail price and put the saving into your 3rd 'dream pot' purse (eg you get 4 tins of beans for £1 on offer but they would have been 50p if you'd bought them seperate, when you use one you pay the 25p paid price back to your 2nd purse and the 25p savings to your 3rd purse)

    Each month you add another £10 until you reach £100 bulk buying float.

    I see it as a way to buy myself an actifry without it costing me anything as im only including things I would already buy whether they were on special or not, like bisto best gravy, morrisons stuffing, heinz beans, soup etc. Not the things like fizzy drinks that I wouldnt pick up unless it was a really good deal.

    Hi, didn't pop in yesterday but did pot about 80p and around £1.30 today too. Looking on the site about making ppi claims, I'm sure I have (at least) one but I'm not sure what docs I have to support any claim! So will pop in tomorrow night to say hello everyone :)
