Weekend didn't go well, hubby was complaining his shoes were all leaking, so £14 for new trainers and £3 for new socks (not needed just a really good deal), then £18 in m&s, then £9 for lunch for me and hubby, then the iinlaws gave the kids money so they had mcd's, and finally it was in the in laws wedding aniversary so bil suggested we do something nice as they've been very stressed, he was suggesting a voucher for a meal out but we've been down that road before they never use it, so we got them a 2 night stay in a hotel with breakfast and dinner, it was £180, so cost us £100.Also spent £7.70 in tesco yesterday (thats minus some dtd) on some 15p quiches a 22p apple pie, and some bread and milk.


Today i collected some free shoes for the kids off a local site, bought a new thing for the flue of my fire (don't ask me what it is i was just sent with the part and told them where it wnet and i needed the bit for inside) that was £2, had a nosey in the charity shop and got my sister a joke gift for 50p (not saying what it is as i know full well she stalks me on here lol) spent £11.55 in homebargains, on lots of bargains then i spent £7.26 on 2 new kingsized sheets for my bed, and £8.99 in poundstretcher on 2 new pillows and 4 tins of pepsi.


Plan for the rest of the week is to leave my purse at home i really shouldn't be allowed out lol.

Good news on the electric bill So much for me trying to keep the gas bill down and wrap up warm - for some reason we left it on all night and woke up absolutely melting!

Your savings are looking good

I had mine on for hrs yesterday, i was out all morning then it took ages for the house to warm up, i have it set to come on twice in the night for ds rather than us, we all ahve extra blankets on our beds now aswell, but this morning was the warmest all week, our car was even frozen yesterday, and we woke up roasting aswell lol.

Savings aren't going too bad, i should be able to save more than i first thought this month fingers crossed

Oh and hubby turned up witha massive tote bag of logs, they cost £50 so will have to pay that on fri.
