    Oh hang on, are we referring to the fleabay ones or the ones I've made myself?

    Edit: oooooh I understand now. The different purses for insurance, food, etc...budgeting purses! I have not sold budgeting purses, it just didn't work. I did however sell most the handmade purses I made :)

    Hi all

    NL...I have a confession to make..as was carrying a rucksack to transport parcels I did a 4.5 mile walk instead of a run...but will run tomorrow...

    Today was pretty MSE..

    - walked to do chores to save on fuel
    - did mileage. £175 coming back! Just shows how much spending on fuel at moment for business.:mad:
    - made cake to take to a friends
    - picked up lots of reduced items in SM..must be the time I went? Around lunchtime. Reduced chicken ( I roasted and used for tea), gravy granules, bread flour etc etc plus loads of offers. Came to £65 but worth it PLUS avoided wine!
    - used my fandabbydozy Bristol Pounds to buy a huge tray of blueberries only £1.99 at a local green grocers...:D..maybe 2 kg worth of blueberries...stuffed into freezer and fridge now:T and some great fresh herring fillets:T
    - did a Tilly Tidy...need to update MSE sig though
    - bidding on table on EBay...needed and trying to get for less than new...we shall see.
    - found more stuff to list...am planning to get OH to do a marathon list at weekend..he will be rapt (not):rotfl:

    Think that's it. A good day. Pat on the back for me;)

    Oh..and how could I have forgotten..£18 back as a loyalty payment from our lovely new local veggie box scheme..basically the 4th box is free. Such a lovely thought :D so free goodies this week:beer:

    Also they take Bristol Pounds and as I have £300 squirrelled away there I will start to pay for the boxes from that..it will feel almost free for a while and take pressure off the current account

    Yes I was referring to your Second Purse thingy you tried last year. The system you explained to me a million and one times but just didn't sink in !! Not you beautiful ones that you make ! xx

    Huge pat on the back Mrs B, sounds an exhausting day !

    Thats a crazy amount to be having to claim back on fuel, we are claiming back about £100 a week at the moment, plays havoc with the Cashflow.

    Good luck with the ebay bid for the table. I have a couple of gorgeous Dw£ll chairs picked up for next to nothing on ebay, you would never know ! :D

    Have a good day today x
