Since it's the last day of the month I thought I should do my first update! I have not finished adding 'stock' to scrabble-stores yet - I have always bought in bulk, but never '2nd pursed' until now - so I do expect that my 'stock' value will increase a lot soon without me actually buying more.

So far I have £60 in cash in my 2nd purse :j I have £160 tied up in stock according to my spreadsheet worth £450 :j although really I have more. The scrabble-store cupboard is full to bursting and very little shopping needs to be done in the next month, although I have my eye on the aforementioned cat food offer and I dare say there will be more.

Regardless of how much cash I actually have, I feel prosperous as despite my only working part time and neither of us earning much, we never have to worry about whether we can feed ourselves or pay our bills. :cool:

Anybody with a puddy tat at home, Mr T has 12 Whiskas sachets half price at the moment - £1.83ish - bargain! I always stock up on this as you get the offer reasonably regularly but it makes a big difference to my budget! Yesterday I heard OH telling the cat he could only have some food out of the scrabble-store if he had some money to put in the jar. Luckily I let the cat pay in cuddles and purrs (OH still has to pay in cold hard cash though )

Wish my cats weren't so bl**dy fussy - they only eat Felix :mad:

I've just finished [strike]playing with[/strike] updating my financial spreadsheet for all the end-of-month declarations, so decided I'd better nip in and update on the status of my 3rd purse

At the end of January it contained £53.30 (not quite what I declared, but I realised mid-month I'd put a couple of prices in wrong!), which was roughly my monthly target of £53.33
During February I've added another £32.88 to it, which is a long way below target
But in order to be able to use a MOC that came with my Mr T vouchers I also spent some of it on long-life goods I don't actually need right now - which took £30.74 out of it !! It was either do this or blow my grocery budget totally out of the water, and as it is I've managed to overspend on that by more than £16 anyway

So my balance as of end of February is £55.44

Ours are so different .... William will eat any old rubbish you put infront of him but Gobby is really fickle. Even Felix he'll only eat the As Good As It Looks sachets. They have Iams nibbles in the evening anyway (I usually wait till the big bags are on 3 for 2 or something at Pets@Home) which you would hope would suffice but alas no!

Alas, that's all mine will eat too - and even turning their noses up at that some days :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Ok, I've decided I'll do a stock-check at the end of each month as I only get confused otherwise So I've just paid my second purse £65.06 for goods used last month. This includes having bought back the e-readers at full price and having paid back myself for the money lent to the 2nd purse to buy goods with in the first place

AF order should arrive tomorrow, along with my new shelves can't remember if I mentioned that I'd ordered a heavy duty 5 tier set, as well as another lightweight 5 tier set
Hmm.... so what offers can I find for my £65.06 I wonder. More to the point, what on earth am I going to buy when I go food shopping as I'll have it all here except for veg :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: such an awesome system thanks again Mothership
