    I managed to come in 69p under the weekly grocery budget this week :j so decided to pot the money, didn't actually have 69p in my purse so put £1.03 in there instead :o

    Have also just finished buying all the kids school uniforms today (excluding the 9 pairs of shoes :eek:) and have managed to kit them both out for £110.50 which I thought was pretty good considering DS is off to secondary school so most of his is proper uniform with the school logo :D im sure I shall be crying in 6 weeks when I get the shoe bill though :eek:

  • Afternoon all!

    Ouch, jakes-mum the thought of the shoe bill makes my eyes water :(

    Happy birthday janey :bdaycake: Hope you're having a lovely day x

    Two shiny 20p pieces are all I can pot today unfortunately. I'm just waiting for an opportunity to scrabble under DH's car seat 'cos I heard him drop coins down the side of the seat when we took dear FiL out on Thursday. He didn't even try to find them :eek: :eek: but I will :D

    happy potting everyone x

  • I think its a shame that when your a child no matter what your feet are like you can find shoes to fit but when you get older your feet are somehow supposed to become standardised? I have the most awkward feet in the world and shoe shopping is a nightmare!

    Hi all
    So we didnt go on holiday but we did go and see family in Nottingham and Liverpool which was fab, and i potted a couple of pounds change on my return. No roadkill in Liverpool, I wonder why????
    Can i put in a vote for chips with cheese and gravy? I've only had it in the IOM (and my house :o) it's superb!

    chips with cheese and gravy? honestly you people anywayz i found 37p in s today which was nice but im sure karma is going to get me as i keep ripping out the cravendale coupons and leaving the mags behind. greens coupons are good as a has lemon pie at 35p and w at 40p. w also has caramelle at 40p. shall have to get some but there is cheesecake at 84p, and egg custard at 49p at a too. w have cheesecake at 62p! I'm forgetting the jelly which is also there. total ended up being 42p hence i kept doing a 1984 thing with rewriting history.
