Hello Everyone

I haven't been around for a few days as my darling dad died suddenly on Sunday and we're all in shock, my mum needing lots of support.

So sorry to hear this, my Dad died suddenly 6 years ago and I still miss him so much. My mum still seems lost without him, although things are getting easier for her.
Big hugs to you and yours.xx

My condolences Ess-Six *hugs* glad the purse is able to help you. We're hear if you need to talk xx

Mothership, it is nice having food in the house for once I tried to log onto my DR last night to make an order and it didn't work, so I'm going to try to call them instead to see if that works.

I'll have to update my 2nd purse figures another time but a bonus of the 2nd purse for me has been that I haven't had to go rushing to the shops for things, I've been able to buy them from my 2nd purse and spend my time on what is important, being with my family.

I am so sorry to hear of your Dad Ess-six, my thoughts and prayers to you

I have a virtual £121 in my 2nd purse, stock level £140 and I only started this at the begging of January, The only down side is that is how much I owe it :rotfl:.......................it just shows how it can build up quickly if you don't bulk buy.

I am not too worried because over the next 2 weeks I should be able to put the money in and I was just thinking when I do, I am not so sure I want to dip under the £100 mark again (ref Motherships's post)

Very none 2nd pursey but Mr M has Easter eggs at £1

So sorry for your loss Ess Six


Well went to co-op yesterday and bump into a friend, walking round with her and we end up at the reduced section, on the top shelf is a big pack of 16 triple velvet toilet rolls reduced to . . . £3 that makes 17p a roll! My cheapest bog roll yet :rotfl: Soon the family will be wiping their bums for free :rotfl: :rotfl:

Ess-six So sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts are with you.

Great idea about the Fl@sh lynn - thanks

I'm feeling a little sad that my stores are starting to look empty already and I can't seem to find good offers on the things I want in there

Going to check out the loo roll offer - was it Lid1?

MinniMuncha - do you know when the Mr A Felix offer ends? I didn't make it at the weekend and only have one box left in Helen's Hideaway :eek:

Ah don't feel down, go and look at your store, it will make you smile
:grouphug:

Thanks Sue-I did,and it did make me smile. The other thing that made me smile was how much money I have in my pencil bag purse.There was still £20 left in DD's purse (despite not getting CB for her yet so borrowing money for her from a saving budget)

There was £10 left in DS2's purse (and Im still buying toddler milk for him-DD is breastfeeding and they both get the same budget-out of sight and mind you see)

There was £15 in DS1's purse and £20 left in petrol purse.

Speaking of DS1's budget-how mch do you give for school friends birthday parties?And do you buy gifts or giftcard/money?He's got invites for 3 birthday parties this month.I have the budget-bu DS goes to loads of birthday parties and I cant afford to go over that bdget.

Spreadsheet - HELP!!

I have finally downloaded Kerris spreadsheet from the 1st post.

I opened it in Open Office.

I deleted Kerris amounts.

I entered my 1st line of stuff - 12 x 15 Finish tabs, bought @ 99p and will buy back @ £2.00.

But it didnt work out the figures for me......I added it up (fingers and toes :rotfl:) and entered the amounts but..........

Do I click something to make it do the working out?

It's a good 20 years since I tried to use a speadsheet.....and wasnt much good at it back then either

Does anyone have an idiots guide to what to do????

HELP!
