Went shopping tonight, spent £47.87 not really happy about this amount tbh, but I did buy extra things like pasta sheets (4 packets) as they were 50p each , spaghetti (2 packets) at 50p each some flat bread for Indian food , some bath stuff £4 worth (2 radox salts and two radox bubble baths)

But that was it ... Humph ... I also bought the Philadelphia cheese at £1 instead of the smaller size which wa £1.67 ... Why do supermarkets do that, 100g less of a product but 67p more ...

Came home and as I was putting everything by I was adding them to my inventories ... It took me maybe 10 extra minutes to do but I reckon it will save us having a whole out of date issue at a later date.

Have cut up my first batch of mushrooms to freeze ( read that idea on someone else diary) so when they have frozen I will put them in a wee bag then start on my next batch

Had a lovely wee surprise phone call from a very good friend and fellow mse'r ... It was great just to chat for 10 mins about things and as always have a wee giggle

Getting ready to go to work just now but will do my sugar shuffles etc when I get there

Have sprayed my Chanel no5 on ... I smell lovely .. I won't be by the end of the shift but for now I'm going oh yeah el that's nice:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Might be an idea for me with the mushrooms, they are quite often reduced but I never use that many.... thank you!

Neither do I Skinty so have always bought just what I needed at a time, but today they were cheaper so I thought I would try ... You slice them and freeze them flat, once frozen you put them in a bag as normal ... Not too sure why you need to freeze them flat tbh ... But that's what I've done ... Will bag the ones I've frozen tomorrow and then make another bag up

Just checked the banks and Tilly tidied and sugar shuffled ... the remaining debt has been paid for the month, so will work on how much I need to pay next month whilst at work, have told the late shift I won't be doing much as my leg needs to rest he he he he ... Well if they can be late then I can be lazy occasionally

After finding out the payments due to come out were out, I did a quick calculation of what direct debits etc still have to come out and how much is left for the rest of the month ... Sadly I don't think I will have enough for sugar shuffling .. Which is annoying as I'm finding the sugar shuffling is keeping me focused, will maybe see if I can find wiggle room with the diesel money / fun money/ extra money and food money so that I can try and keep it up a I feel it's really helping

Worked out how much I need to pay off next month it's less than 707 but not an awful lot less so will stick to the £707 for next month and see how that goes, I think the month after I will be able to bring it down to £706, I'm gonna keep plugging away at it to get it sub £700 then try plug away in £5 decreases I think as time goes on it will be easier as well as I will have less to find to reduce it

Keep plodding as a very special person would say

Good plans El, onwards and downwards :T.

Cheers GG ... I feel as if I'm finally on top of things much better, this working out what we owe and dividing it by the months really make things easier for me

So I have a few days off finally, plans are sleep, rest leg, organise two DDM's for the Halifax account ... Still can't get one for hubby and start looking into car insurance , firstly though I think I'll start with the sleep, I have the electric blanket on I'm in my pjs and I'm just about ready to doze off, catch you all soon, hope you have a good day
