Thank you Google didn't turn up anything, will look there now.

I love it, I'm going to have to make myself another purse I have some gorgeous fabric for it. Plus I got a freecycled bookshelf for the wardrobe on saturday which already has choc spread, tom puree and pasta on it. I can find the prices I paid for those and keep a list, then pay myself when I use them. Excellent. mothership thank you very much for the info and suep19 for pointing out the post

Your welcome but credit to mothership :T:T:T

I thought after a certain age milk couldn't be digested by the majority of humans? 54 pints is a lot! I'm completely lactose intolerant so can't drink it at all and I love chocolate milkshake.

Haha, 54 is a lot! I think we were 32 and thats just my 1 and 3 year olds. I hate milk and don't have it at all unless cooking and hubby only has a little in the odd cup of tea. Only had mashed tatties once last week so it was all the kids!

Wow, can't believe how busy the thread is. I am losing it slighlty and have decided to spend some time looking at the finances and using the SoW from the Frugal Living thread and transfer all my details into that. Thanks to cw18 (Cheryl) for sharing the spreadsheet so freely:T.

Hi everyone,

Just on to update my sig. Went to MrT today and spent £68.78. Have added all the meals onto my meal planner and hopefully this will take me up to the 23rd when my January GC ends. I will need to get milk, fruit, veg, bread tho' but (quietly) confident that I can do it. Just need to be focussed.....:D

Included in today's spends were Iam$ dog food (green adult one) for £7 down from £9.99 - don't need any for a couple of weeks, but this will be for next month's GC challenge. Also got another Kenc0 refill for £2.10 again, will take us into next month but worth getting whilst it's on offer - I hate carp coffee!

Visiting a friend tomorrow and she has MrA nearby. Can I resist a looksy :rotfl:

So today I went shopping for our weekly fresh bits and also got our monthly stock up delivered as well, total spend: £183.29. Should only need fresh bits and pieces for the rest of the month now

£1.78 on part of a birthday gift (to GC it or not?)
£1.24 on 4 plums which I scoffed 3 of on the way home!

Just updated my signature. Out of my £118 I have spent £36 on my son's 'Uni Box' (I pack him up with washing powder, tuna, pasta, curry sauces) so doing ok. Pay day next Friday and food in the freezer. DS returning to Uni on Thursday then back to the two of us so confident of finishing up on target, fingers crossed, as it's trips to the shop to stock up on milk and eggs every few days keeps encouraging me to look out for bargains! Plus got a job today, Hurrayyy!
