Ok, I've updated the front page I remembered that J-M had bike tickets? for hubbys birthday. I know that Fozzie bought something the other day but I've forgotten what. My memory isn't very good, and I still keep forgetting to take my tablets oops.

Yep I gave DH the £40 to go to the bike show this weekend (which is now not happening as we are going away and he spent the money on an iphone anyway :rotfl:)

What does everyone else do about paying the SP back? I've noticed some people pay back as they use something, and some do it weekly. I think I saw that Mothership does it monthly in arrears, which I had thought of doing but I'm afraid of getting lost with it. I'm a bit worried that I'll get to next month's GC and end up paying half of it straight into the SP! Help needed!

I have a spreadsheet with everything listed and then a space at the bottom for 2nd purse purchases and 3rd purse purchases. Each time I use something from 2nd purse stock I add it to the 2nd purse total (and profit to the 3rd P total). Then when I have money in my purse I settle up the total, so roughly 3 -4 times a month.

3rd Purse had a nice little trip out today and bought perfumes for DD's birthdays and nice new Sloggis for me so £90 worth of treats bought from 3rd Purse so far :j

Oh I've got a number! Maybe I'd better start doing this then! :rotfl: :rotfl:
I haven't got a particular goal in mind but I do seem to be stockpiling groceries and if I can save a bit of money towards Christmas that'd be good

Kerri please will you put me down for a little shop called QMart and I'll aim to save £100 in my 3rd purse towards Christmas. Thanks

Everyone gets a number even those that arrived then went away again just sharing the love xx

oooh some already know, but I finally got OH to commit to living with me from September with a trial run in July/August so I need to keep in mind my shop when I look round houses I wonder what the OH will think of all the lovely food I have these days.

I came home this evening, really fancied cheese and crackers... lo and behold I had just that thanks to SPing, normally I have one or the other!

MunniMuncha

It is still trial and error for me on how I pay back my 2P. I did it weekly last month, but think I am going to try it monthly next month and then see what works best for me.

This weekend am going to do a stocktake and bring the 2P up to date as have just been taking out of MunniMart and not keeping a record (slapped wrists all round in the MunniMuncha's household:D)

Oh just to let you know that in Lidl's yesterday I bought 5kg of basmati rice for £4.99 :j:j Didn't have a date when the offer finishes just said 'while stocks last'

Coxy11

Just paid 2nd purse for items used this week. It is now back up to £32.81 having been in debt by £11 at the weekend

Just goes to show how much I was giving MrT before I started this challenge. Can't thank you enough Mothership :A

Tried the DR pork sausages this week. DS1 had a friend for tea unexpectedly so I got 12 sausages out of the freezer. I then simmered them in a pan for 20 mins, and medium grilled them for 8 mins. Absolutely lovely, didn't shrink and hardly any fat run off. We all had two sausages instead of DH and DS's usual 3. More than full. Would definitely recommend.

Have a good day everyone.

Went to L!dl after work and got three 5kg bags of basmati rice £4.99 each, four P*rozone bleach 59p each, 1 large Hellm*ns Light £1.87 and a big thing of their filter coffee which we both really like £3.49 - all from the 2nd purse! And all neatly stored in Bun&Co Stores! I like this system!

Thanks to Mothership Kerri and all you wonderful people for your friendship and support, I now have enough to get DD her prom dress, when she finds one.
Now to the next £100 towards a new freezer.:j
