A bit of quick question................

I have owed my SP for a few weeks now and this next weekend I wll be able to correct that. So I will have £100 in my 2nd P and £43.96 in my 3rd P....................

......................ok SO if I buy some beans :rotfl:with my 2nd P, I will have less than £100 again, do I replace that money with buying from my own stock or do I take the money from 3rd P (which seems odd, first one makes more sense to me)

Hahaha beans! You never take the money back out of the 3rd purse to buy yummies. That's what the £100 float is for So now you'll be buying all your goodies with the 2nd purse float, never worrying that you don't have enough for this deal or that one, I'm in awe that you're there so quick You just carry on buying from SM with 2nd purse, then buying from stock with 1st purse, when you go over £100 again pop the extra into 3rd purse.

Ahh it is a sad day here at my little shop - it has been burgled - garage was broken into last night and they took hubs mountain bike and my washing supplies - though they did drop some of the washing supplies so still have some left - arghhh

So sorry to hear you've been burgled, that's a horrid feeling More emotionally than anything else, I can't believe they stole your washing supplies! Hope you get things sorted quickly and that you're ok *hugs*

jakes-mum you could try it, never hurts to give something a try hahaha. Or if they like it, do a try before you buy and tell them "if you like it I'll make another and you have to pay 10p a slice" You'll have a sm and a bakery soon

Thats great, your getting there. The money will start to flow quickly into your 3rd purse, well done!

Dreamerbea
OMG! what an awful thing to happen, I hope you can claim your insurance.

Whipping Cream
You can make butter with it, though you get more buttermilk from it 600ml from 2 x 600ml tubs, as opposed to 400ml from the same quantity of double cream. Still delighted with the cost .98p I'm going to be baking over the next few days so it will all get used up.

I still had £30 left of my xmas money so I bought a few Hairy Bikers books , on baking and Pies. Still have £7 of it left.

I'm making home made sweet and sour chicken tonight, its a good way of stretching chicken breasts, especially if you have unexpected guests. I posted the recipy in the GC pages , you can use a jar of sweet n sour sauce or make it from scratch, cheap and delicious.

Haha, I have made it a few times before so am well aware of how much it is loved by the 3 of them Too rich for me though as it uses 8oz of dark chocolate and 2oz of golden syrup :eek:. The tray has cost me about £1.60 and I hope to get 15 small slices out of it . I tend to chuck a slice in DS's lunch box as his body burns through food so quick that he can sometimes get a bit shakey (the body grabbing everything cos he didnt absorb any nutrients for so long) not even bananas can keep him going long :eek::eek:

That's aweful...:grouphug::grouphug:

Thanks for the advice, I did think it was like that. A tip don't buy for 2 weeks, a forced no spend made it happen, I am sure I would have a huge stock pile if I had had money and no 3rd P. The store is at £130 so not run it completely dry

I have decided that once money gets to the 3rd Purse, it stays there till I use it to buy "my luxury item". :rotfl:

Is £100 your 2nd Purse maximum float amount?

If so, I would buy the beans from SP as normal.

When you buy them back from your shop, I would put back money into the SP to bring it back up to the £100 max float and any extra I would put straight in the 3rd purse.

I def wouldn't take it from 3rd Purse.

But then I know if I started dipping in, I wouldnt stop!!

Oh, that's awful. I am really sorry to hear about it.

I'm quite excited, I've found a US website that sells designer fabric for crafters for less than it costs to buy over here, even taking into account shipping Just need to wait for my 2nd purse to have a few more pennies in. Then I'll buy it with the SP, then buy it back from myself at UK retail price
