    This MFW lark is very easy when you love being at home :rotfl:

    We have taken to sitting in front of the tv most weekends and never venture from the sofa on weeknights which means we don't normally spend much through the week/end, especially as I try to go shopping before the weekend as I hate it when it is busy. We were out 3 times last weekend for various different things and our bank balance shows!
    MFW 2025 No. 7 £1530/£2700
    MFiT-T7 No. 6 £3571.87/£30,000

    Yes it was deliberately confusing.
    The woodlice, spiders and silverfish are totally MSE and dont cost me a thing.

    £300 *a month*???? That's quite a bit :eek:
    • £3.92 to Freedom Fund
    • £10.53 to 2017
    • SP are 10 days late taking DD. So I guess they're no longer billing us, just holding on to our £400 for safe keeping :rotfl:
    • Completed 2 VO surveys
    • Couldn't get Ipsauce survey to work
    • Have started watching a secondhand aquarium on eBay. Currently at £50, collection only (25 miles away) and I could retrofit it to be fairly environmentally friendly for about another £30. Birthday at the end of March, so tempted...

    It's at least £200 each - pets are luxury goods :D

    And homebrew doesn't count as groceries, in case you're trying that one as well :p

    Who says? DH assures me grape juice is one of my 5 a day.

    A house is only a home with a dog in it.

    For the last time Al, that was a pamphlet from a wine wholesaler, not an NHS white paper :rotfl:
