    Hi Everyone,
    Been reading all the posts. (((HUGS))) to Mothership.
    Ive not been on here for a while and am doing well with my shopping but not really doing the 2nd purse as I still cant get my head round it..
    Think im depressed so cant concentrate on much at the moment.. has anyone ever felt so down that you dont focus on whats going on around you? This has been coming for a while and I need to go to GP.
    Im usually upbeat, very organised etc and its all left me. I want to do 2nd purse and be successful at saving but for now need to concentrate on myself..

    Hi Annie - do go to your doctor, talking to someone will help. I've felt like that in the past but it will pass if you can get a bit of help through it. Well done with keeping up with the savings! I'd say just do what you can and get back to 2nd pursing when you're ready :)

    I've just placed an order for half price DR sausages with free delivery - they're the only sausages I like! So I'm pleased to get them on offer :) have to stop filling freezer now, it was tetris time yesterday so heaven knows how I'll squeeze 8 packs of sausages in! :rotfl:

    Kerri please will you put me down for £30 into my sealed pot as my 3rd purse iyswim :) I'm #056
    Thanks :)

    Went to Waitflower on Saturday to collect some glasses (free glass hire) for my Mums party.

    They had a basket of random reduced beauty products. Got 6 x roll-on deoderants (Dove, Sure, Nivea) for me for £2.30 :j I normally pay £1 each so well happy with that. DD has taken one already but the other 5 are in my shop for when I need them.

    Off to update sig.

    Have just paid 2nd purse back for items used this week. The chocolate monster has demolished CAZCO's supply which is now on full view in the fridge instead of my store. No one is owning up - Mr Nobody again then (sure he used to live with us when I was a child ;))

    We had his cousins, the Black Hand Gang, living with us, leaving black fingerprints all over the paintwork - everyone assumed it was us kids until we left home and the BHG remained in residence! :rotfl:

    Tried to put back the delivery from DR but it was too late - order is one it's way!!!!!!

    Hope you are feeling better soon Annie and that you have an understanding GP - sending ((hugs))
