    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.

    Thank you all for your kind words, they are a great comfort to me in this sad time :)

    I just checked out your fish supplier, You can get £25-£35 off your next order for recommending a friend. it might be a good idea if we do the same as we did with DR. Just a thought.
    1st Purse £114.19 Monthly GB
    2nd Purse ££100

    Mothership I am so sorry to hear your sad news and thinking of you and your family

    little K thanks for the link to the fish supplier - unfortunately they don't do free delivery to our area:( I would like to find a good fish supplier as I would like to eat more fish but don't buy it from the SM

    my second purse is ticking along slowly - I am keeping a list of what I use and will pay the SP at the end of the month

    Hi everyone

    I love hearing what you have been buying with your 3rd purses.

    I am pleased to say that my 2nd purse now has £100 and my 3rd purse has £27 and I still have loads of stock :j

    Well a good and a bad day for me today...

    Good: I've got 46 trial/travel size (20ml) toothpastes courtesy of the dental surgery my mum runs her clinic out of for absolutely free!!! Was thinking of charging myself about 15p-20p for whenever I need one. Was very pleased about this!

    Bad: went to update my spreadsheet this morning and it's gone :eek:
    I run 2 spreadsheets, one with what I pay in/take out of SP and one that keeps a running total of my stock and it's value. The one with SP items and balance has suddenly become the same as the stock cupboard one. I've got no idea what I did but I'm so annoyed :mad: I am at least a bit pleased that I update as I go so knew that what was in my SP was correct up to yesterday, and the couple bits that I'd take out of MM's last night I could remember.

    Please please can someone help me with a spreadsheet that has everything in one? E.g. Whats in cupboard and SP total in one place? If anyone has one that is of course! :D

    Many thanks!

    Mothership - so sorry to hear your news. Sending (((hugs))) to you and your family xxx

    Thanks everyone for the fish supplier details. I will check them out as we would like to eat more, good quality, fish.

    DH cooked spag bol tonight with DR steak mince. His signature dish when I am working ;) tasted great.

    Loo roll stocks are running low, so may place a rainforest order sometime soon.

    I'm going to be able to withdraw from my SP and pay to third purse again today as I realised that when I wrote my list from Fresian Foods I forgot catfood, tea and coffee so I'm going to be able to add another £25 or so into the third purse :D
