    Mothership - my thoughts are with you and your family at this awful time.
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!

    Just did a rough stockcheck and found I owe my second purse £285.18. My second purse was previously in debt, so I now have £100 in my second purse and I have £175.07 in my 3rd purse.
    If I juggle my money around, this means I can withdraw the £50 deposit I paid for the dentist today leaving me with £125.07 towards my dental bills :D this means I will only need to find another £60 and the purse will have paid for most of my dental bill :D No wonder I'm feeling flusher, I've only spent £70 in the SM this month! I no longer need to buy choc and drink on my way up and down the country as Bean-a-lot stocks it, and other than the veg I have all the dried goods I need for a long time :D love this system.

    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 :D 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!

    Woohoo :T Good luck to you and OH Kerri :D

    Aw - thats a lovely thing to get! Hope you and DD have lots of fun chosing the gown :T

    Mothership so sorry to hear your news, my thoughts are with you and your family. Xx

    My SP is now up to £50 and the third purse has been topped up. I'm saving to buy a demo kit for Stampin' Up! so that I can become a demonstrator and hopefully have my own small business. As it's looking likely I'm going to be losing my job in the next few months it's going to be a lifeline for me, and the less I have to spend from my redundancy money the better :)

    I don't have a huge amount of things to buy, but as I have another £6 off £40 spend voucher for Sainsbugs, I'm going to be making a list and buying food from there this weekend. I've now got a drawer in the freezer which has meat bought from the SP and the prices written in marker pen so I know how much to settle up for :D

    Hi Little K - please can you share the online fish supplier details? Ta

    Hi Coxy11,

    I use have used Regal fish suppliers for a couple of years now. They may deliver free to your area, you just check your postcode on the website.https://www.regalfish.co.uk/

    They give you a call about every 10 weeks, but you don't have to place an order. I placed an order this time for 1kg frozen hake fillets (£10.50) and 6 portions of fresh salmon (£13.50). It's not as cheap as sm fish, but I find the quality excellent and as it's free delivery, overall good value.

    Mothership my thoughts are with you and your family at this difficult time.
