    no. and I did clear my cookies and history before joining!
  • I've been MIA for the past few weeks - apologies. It's been a hectic time with the new job, moving, finding a lodger for our old home etc.

    On the grocery front, I was able to limit my last month's spending to below £100. My freezers are still half full :-) £30 from joining imutual has been paid. Yay!

    Now off to catch up with the diaries.

    Good Morning, Fellow MFWs :-)

    I've been very very busy at my new job and hence my irregular appearances in this forum. Haven't forgotten my MFW ways - have had 14 NSDs so far this month, a record for me. But then, now my fridge looks forsaken - have to take out more stuff from freezer to fill it up. I was thinking that I'll reduce the meat intake during Lent, but then most of the stuff inside the freezer is meat :eek:

    Hoping to keep this month's grocery spend also within the £100 limit.

    I used the spend £10 on fuel get £2 back promo on the Grabbit board to claw back £2 to go to my OP account. For those with Amex cards, don't forget about the Amex-4square promotion of 'Spend £50, get £15 back on fuel at Shell'. Now that the fuel prices have gone up, it is time to cut back as much as possible on that front.

    US.

    So how is job - hope it's going well :)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)
