Second Purse Challenge 2012

kerri_dfw

kokkle are doing free v-day cards you need the code from this site and I can't remember the link but if you google them that'll save everyone £3.45, so allocate an amount you'd pay for the card and pop it into your 2nd purse, sorted!

Afternoon!

Kerri I got a £5 credit free on a card site through here is that the same one you did? I signed up with 2 email accounts and got another one for my anniversary too :T so saved £7 over all

Mothership thank you for those lists! when i have 5 mins later i am going to copy & paste into a doc I eat a lot of those things, but need to make a conscious effort to eat more and stop snacking on rubbish high sugar things! Since i stopped eating bread last week I feel better too so wondering if i am allergic to the yeast or something? I don't feel as tired or bloated

I've got an order coming tomorrow from rosspa have ordered about £20 worth of fruit & veg :eek: and have barely any snacky rubbish foods in for half term............i'm going to attempt to feed them fruit & veg & yoghurts etc for snacks and see how they get on........:rotfl: this could go either way of course as i know my kids like fruit but they would probably rather a pack of crisps

Another £10 into my 2nd purse for 13 toilet rolls (have 8 left since yesterday...ds2 = poo gate = don't ask) shampoo, conditioner, special K ummmmm and soup i think?! oh and bleach! So in fact i probably owe the 2nd purse a bit more but can't afford it yet lol. Esp after DS2 got hold of the loo rolls :mad: (thinks at 2 yrs he is old enough to wipe his own bum..........and then spread all over my bathroom *sigh*)

DFW, I did that one for my nephews birthday card this is a separate site I think.

Mothership the 20lt fab conditioner comes unboxed, in case you hadn't ordered before, I was impressed with this as it adds to the eco-saving part

Anyone else, can someone measure how much a capful of fab conditioner is for me please? I've been using the wrong size cap oops! Just need someone to fill their cap with water and then measure into a jug then I can try to work out how many cups that is I bought cup and tablespoon measures yesterday x

Mothership, you are truly fabulous that must have taken an age to type out :eek:

I can copy and paste everything you've put and then delete those things I cant eat I love celery and raw carrot (cant abide it cooked, WHY would people want to take a perfectly good vegetable and make it all smushy :eek: :eek:) I do pick at them when im peeling them for the familys roasty dinner, but am not eatting enough so more picking me thinks.

Must try dates, wonder if mum buys them so I could nick one off her rather than buy them myself incase I dont like them . . how very MSE of me :rotfl: my main problem is texture, I dont like things to feel like I dont expect them too (dont ask, im quite strange).

I only buy free range eggs and chicken anyway so im good there.

Right off to copy and paste into word

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I couldn't help but buy the toilet roll offer in the c@@p thats me got 235 toilet rolls got 5 packs.
Also got 6 Fajita Spice mix 2 for £1

So spent £18 from the 2nd purse

And a tub of reduced cream for 29p to make butter with and I'll use the buttermilk for a batch of scones.

So I only spent 29p from my 1st Purse
Unbelievable, I didn't need another thing, I've still got a large quantitiy of veg.
And my homemade bread the 2nd Sourdough was YUMDIDLYUMTIOUS.

Aye it took me ages to type some of the Superfoods still a fair bit to go, I don't mind though, even if just one of you benefit from it I will be VERY happy :j:j:j

Just had a quick look at the spreadsheet to try and check if a couple of offers are on it, but I'm struggling as the filter doesn't seem to work for me

Cr3me Eggs - 6 pack
Mr T - half price, down from £3.30 to £1.65 : valid until 14th Feb
Mr M - reduced to £1.50 (so a better deal than at Mr T) : forgot to note end date, but will be back to get some on Friday and will try and remember to check then

Bitesize Shr3dded Wheat
Mr T - 500g - better than half price, down from £2.08 to £1 : valid until 14th Feb
Mr M - 750g - reduced to £1.37 (better price per 100g than Mr T) : again forgot to note end date, but picking up on Friday

Just spent £24 from 2nd purse buying 24 boxes of Cheer!*s from Mr T. (Cleared the shelf in our little T Express and got some very funny looks walking down the high street with DS loaded up alongside me!) Use by Dec and everyone, except me, loves them. All seem to think they'll be able to eat as much as they like now and just aren't paying attention to my explanations when I say I'm only buying 1 box each week :rotfl::rotfl:. Off to update signature.

I LOVE this system
