Second Purse Challenge 2012

2nd purse now back up to £49.88 with my next £20 is going in on Tuesday when we get paid. May have a look out for a few bits today when I go to MrT as I need handwash, laundry liquid etc.

HelenPie - which colour artisan are you going for?

Ooh funky! I quite fancy the boysenberry but I'm worried I'll go off it! May just stick to black when I finally scrape the money together.

My Le Creuset order arrived. The 5L Storage jars are MASSIVE!
What a bargain! 65% off I HAD TO BUY EM!:j:j:j:j

I thought I could sneak them in like I usually do, no chance, I've had to put some rather large items in front of them there's 3 of them, I wonder how long it will take OH to notice them he he. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: :rotfl::rotfl:

Bought some gardening tools today! This second purse system really is rather useful! & the garden is looking beyoooootiful!

Good luck Mothership! What will you use them for?

I have placed another DR order which will arrive on Monday. Steak mince, pork chops and venison burgers - hope they are nice

This means that SP balance is down to £5 again. We are away for two weeks in August so don't expect to be moving any money over to 3rd purse anytime soon

Ooo Donald Russell has just arrived and now stored in new mini chest freezer (other one died recently). All looks good and we'll have a BBQ tonight. The mini roasts are very mini though - not sure they'll feed DH and 2 boys.

My boys have made a road with the bubble wrap and driven along on ride on toys - hilarious! Not quite sure what to do with big polystyrene boxes it all came in - any ideas?

cowboymum - Mothership had a good idea to use them as planters in the garden. Think she covered them somehow. My DH uses them as storage in the scout cupboard as they are quite sturdy.

I've wondered about those mini roasts. Let me know how you find them. Could be I order them next time :-)
