Shared a Rosspa order as I wanted the tinned cheese at 5 for a pound, carrots and onions, also got sausages in lard 4 for a pound and tinned mackrel a pound so 7 pound there.

I have that cheese, its beyond disgusting (only 9 tins left), the only thing that tops it, is the tinned margarine, i will not tell you what it smells like, i do not want to spoil the surprise !!!, would be interested to know what you think, don't want to waste, wondering how to use it up really.

Tinned cheese sounds interesting! Lovely smells coming from my kitchen a loaf of bread just out of bm, soup in the slow cooker, oh has had a bowl of leftover stew and i have had vegetable lasagna. NSD for me today & it will be until Sunday. Oh and it is now sunny outside.

I have taken advantage of not having to look after DGS today and had a good look around the shops, almost bought some CS things but managed to resist :j

I have included all my spending in my signature from GC, although some was from Second Purse and some for DD which I should get back, but thought it was better for me to count too much, rather than too little......this is just my 2nd month so I am still learning.

Forgot breakfast.

Had LO LO's for lunch!

And planning on having HM lasagne out of the freezer for tea, that was LO from the other week.

I stocked up on basics at Ic*land so I could get free delivery but it just arrived minus milk and butter, I bet as soon as I get hair dye on my head, they will come back and I will have to drip my way back to the front door :rotfl:

A spend of £8.42 yesterday taking me to £309.51 this month out of £400 which has to last until the 1st.
I am hoping for a no spend day today and have pulled buns out of the freezer for lunch and steak out for dinner so we should manage it.
I seem to be fine if I can keep myself out of the stores. It has been lovely and sunny here the last few days, so I'm spending the time in the garden and it is helping me stay away from the shops as well as making the garden/jungle look better :rotfl:
I hope everyone is doing well

Hi all,
Having a great day as been offered £7,000 PPI repayment, so well chuffed!!!

Need to add up spends from the weekend, and declare for May as today is payday, yay!!
Spent,

£24.13 in Tesco, was £42.98, but used the MOCs from price flop, and my £6 off £40. Plenty of fruit, veg and counter meat.

£10.44 in Home Bargains, toilet rolls, jellies, crisps, must try harder to resist!!

£4.47 Morrisons, more crisps, noodles and the butter with the 50p MOC.

£17 in M&S on dine in meal, and the 3 for £10 deal, other bits. (20% off)

Total spent £56.04.

Declaring on £232.04 for May, underbudget!!:)

Have loads in my freezer, but cannot resist doing another Mr T's shop, with the MOCS this weekend. That will be all that I will do, so a good start to June.

Can I be £220 for June?, I will record this in my Siggi.

Hope all are well and enjoying the sunshine. Will catch up with posts after I have done my ironing!

Sally.

Wonderful news supersally re PPI:T:j

You could think of a better way to celebrate though....


Ironing?

In THIS weather?

I just want to shout out how good I am being :A

I have just been to several town shops to price camping things up (planning on cheap holidays!!). I saw loads of things I'd love, like cheap clematis plants, and various other things that I nearly convinced myself that I NEEDED.
Nope. Came home utterly empty handed so yet another no spend day.
It was a NSD yesterday with the exception of going to a camping shop for a tent and camping stove, etc. I didn't buy any groceries though.

Well done on the will power JJ, I would utterly have convinced myself I NEEDED cheap clematis plants, but then I am easily led by me:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:and of course I do buy plants to give as presents, but only after taking as many cuttings as I can get away with.

Possession

It's a good job I haven't started this challenge yet as I'm not very good at it. : (
Needed stuff for our holiday, and had a £13 off a £90 spend and another £7 off voucher. Holiday stuff came to about £40, business stuff about £10 and I spent the rest on us, but I did get DTD on BBQ meats as seen on the Grabbit board, so I got £21 back. Having our free meat tonight and putting some in the freezer, as DH fancies being carniverous and he has a job interview tomorrow so he can have what he wants!
On the plus side, when I do start in June I should be well and truly stocked up and I have no excuses.
