Been to the farm and bought some sausages, there was some really lovely looking meat but at £10 for a chicken :eek: I had to leave them there Have spent the last hour explaining the 2nd purse to DH and he is fully impressed with the whole system :eek: and is even allowing me space in his sanctuary (the garage) for stockpiling :eek: :eek: I feel so honoured! nearly 7 years we've lived here and I have never been allowed anything but the dryer in there :rotfl:

Got your PM sunflower just waiting for Eddi to be ready to refer me and I will be ordering and refering immediately (not that im totally over excited to get meat in the post or anything )

:rotfl: at being allowed garage space! Well done.

I'm hoping to do my DR order in a bit so after I've done processed it I'll do the recommending business I'm excited to see the amazing packaging people keep talking about. Who knew having meat posted to you could be such an event :rotfl:

He spent all sunday cleaning it out, hoovering the carpet (yes we really do have carpet in ou garage ) sorting all the cupboards (there is a full set of kitchen cupboards down there as well, wall and floor :eek:) I went down and said 'ooo this is nice, wheres my space?' and he looks at me and goes 'umm umm well im still working out where to put you!' :rotfl::rotfl:

Im so excited to order my meat :rotfl: I seriously need to get a life, highlight of my life is waiting to click on the 8 packs of mince and put my debit card details in :rotfl::rotfl:

I know I'm the same! AF deliveries are greeted with more rapture than Christmas in our house and I'm all excited about my first DR delivery tomorrow. I've cleared it it's own drawer in the freezer I need to get out more I think :rotfl:

Second purse is working really well. I've made a fortnight's meal plan and the ONLY thing I'll need to use a real shop for in that time is fresh vegetables. Everything else is coming from the scrabble-store. :j

I've already noticed a difference in how much money we have, as a large amount of my stores was bought from AF using my paypal balance from selling lots of old carp on ebay! I haven't done the proper sums yet, but I will do in the next day or so and update you all :T

I made a conscious decision that no crisps or snacks would be bought as the lower price tends to be cancelled out by increased consumption in our house. When I saw the beer offer I told the OH, but he made the decision that having that much beer around would be too much of a temptation. So he is going to dust off the homebrew stuff and make his own instead - I don't think it's less of a temptation, but it's stronger so he'll drink a lot less, and won't even touch it through the week - he said he will still donate to scrabble stores as he drinks it though :beer:

I've also added my health and beauty stockpile to my store, most of it was free or ridiculously cheap from the 'shoes' store or else was gifts. I will charge myself a nominal amount for it as I take it out of the stores, as I am far, far to tight to ever have bought that stuff at its actual selling price.

<drum roll please> ........ <and a clash of the cymbols> ... the deed is done :j you should have an email.

I have ordered the 8 packs of mince (through Quidco link too for raised 12% cashback amount which expires in 2 days) for the princely sum of £19.80 & free delivery (using motherships kindly shared 10% off code about 2 pages back in the thread - will find it again and update this post).

EDIT:

Yay :j No worries.

My mum will see my order first as she'll be there to receive it for me so I'll not get to appreciate the lovely packaging this time around before it goes in the freezer I'll have to ask her to send me a picture :rotfl:


2nd purse progress wise I've bought the mince from my 2nd purse which leaves me a balance of £11.05 and stock of £87.20 in Spend a Penny stores. Can't wait to hit my £50 threshold when I can start skimming off the extra from purse 2 to purse 3 :D
