    SueP Thats what upsets me all that wasted money. Even with me doing the 2nd Purse I was watching carefully there with one eye , and paying full price for everything else.

    My mission in life now is STOPPING the SM getting our money. Superskrimpers got nothing on us.

    I too cherish the friendship here, if only we all lived nearer each other.

    I have friends who think I'm better off than them, LOL. They just throw it away hand over fist, I've told them repeatedly I have a very small income , but they dont believe me. I have more in common with all of you. It doesnt matter how we found each other , I'm just grateful we did.

    Virutally emptied my second purse last night, buying a few bargains from Mr*S.

    I can't stand making puff pastry so bought jus*oll at Mr*S for £1.00 per box instead of £1.50

    San*ex Shower Cream/Gel on offer again, half price £1.35 instead of £2.70 This is the only one we can use on our sensitive skins.

    I need to go and make some more cakes and bread because I refuse to pay THAT for them:D

    Well Jakes'Mum - if you can get by on £200 for a family of 4 then I should be able to too - you're an inspiration to us all :A. (Btw I would just like to point out that I don't actually live inside your laptop - lovely though I'm sure it is :rotfl:). Hope you've managed to get your car battery sorted and that your head's not too sore too x

    :eek::eek::eek: I dont believe you! if you didnt live inside it how am I talkin to you all :rotfl::rotfl:

    I think this should be the new challenge, no-one is allowed to spend more than £12.50 per week per person, and no you cant class a cat as a person, they dont eat 3 times a day :rotfl::rotfl:

    My car battery is sat in a box by my front door, delivery driver was highly amused at Miss Lily and I squealling 'its a car battery eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek'

    Head isnt sure what it wants to do, it doesnt hurt but I can feel its trying to decide whether it wants to hurt or not, got a right wooly head on today :o

    Just put this on the moc thread, thought someone might use them on here:-

    Just got 40 Fairy platinum dishwasher tablets for £2.49 at Tesco

    http://www.tesco.com/groceries/Product/Details/?id=264373793
    Love the way they spelt platinum :-)

    They are £7.49 each but 'bogof', so £7.49 for two (20 tabs in each) then I used 2 of the household ssm mission control £1 off vouchers
    and two facebook £1.50 vouchers (watch a video and get link for voucher at end, not a long one so not too bad.)

    http://www.facebook.com/fairydish?sk=app_309459835747420

    Hope this all makes sense, hopeless at explaining things :-)
