Thankyou! and these forums have been great to keep my mind off things and doing batch cooking/bargain hunting, and hubby enjoys it too, we hit rock bottom on the 31st of may this year and lost everything apart from our house and children(the business, car, etc, my family) due to my husbands drinking getting worse he was no longer a functioning alcoholic. So hopefully life is on the up from now on, we are on benefits (husband has a job waiting for him when he has done the 18 weeks at rehab) at the moment so using these forums has really helped financially there is so much great help and advice its brilliant and I shall never be embarressed to hunt in the reduced section again!:rotfl:

Just wanted to wish you good luck for the future, you have really been through the mill but sound so positive that I am sure you will win out in the end.

Been a lurker for the past couple of months, but wanted to quickly tell you guys that Argos are doing the 3 for 2 on toys again this year.:j:j

It starts next week (I think on Wednesday??)

So to avoid them being out of stock of what you want, make a list now and get it reserved!!

Happy shopping!!

Moonjelly i would definately send it back or ring them and let them know.

Have a nice evening all - i have a few spends to add, but cba at mo.

I emailed Tesco and I received a phone call the following day. The Tesco rep profusely apologised and said a refund was on it way (3-5 business days). Thank you to all the posters here who suggested I kick a fuss over the horrible mince. It worked! :T

Hello all...got back from holiday on Saturday, but have been so busy at work since then, so haven't had time to post. I love going on holiday but always wonder what the point is when you return to twice as much work to do in one week :mad:

Anyway - spends to report:

08/09: £9.57 in Mr S
17/09: £4.54 in Mr S
19/09: £1.50 in Mr S

£15.61 in total.

Congrats and commiserations to all those who need them.

Hello everyone,

Sorry I have not been posting but I have got lost in the twilight zone which is the Elite thread.

I tell you its like the Eagles song "Hotel California" you can check in but you can never leave.

So I hope everyone is doing better than me at the moment, I am sure you all are.

Big hugs and I will try to pop in again.

Wishing you both loads of luck and strength. A close friends brother was an alcoholic and I saw what hard difficult and stressful times they had and not all financial. I really hope it works out for you all.


Littlemiss - congratulations on the safe arrival of your little one.

Updating spends which now come to £96-30 and am half way through doing shopping list for tomorrow. My daughter has just picked me up one of the 3kg bags of pasta from T3sco for £2 as I try to avoid going in there if possible. Will add that on to tomorrows shop though.
Will probably reduce Octobers amount but not sure yet by how much, will think about it. We will have son home more often though for a few weeks as he on leave after a long tour of duty:D and he can eat! :eek:
