  • ..... Yeah I used to buy the economy ones but then began feeling sorry for the battery hens and only buy free range now - the taste is worth the extra expense!!
    I stopped smoking 25th June 2007
    STILL Never complacent but confident
    My debt is GOING DOWN!!!!
  • I won,t give up
    *Decent toilet paper(Tried the value stuff, not nice! Found that Andrex can be cheaper than stores own brand if you buy the ones with 3 free rolls included)
    *Nice shampoo(I use John Frieda Brilliant Brunnette,Worth the extra money to have gorgeous hair)
    *Organic fruit(So much nicer and I feel better filling the kids up with good chemical free fruit.At least twice the price of non-organic though)
    *Wine(Only buy about 2 bottles a month now and even keep some of it for cooking with)
    *Max Factor Panstik(couldn't go out in public without my face on)
    *My Glasses(An expensive necessity)
    *TV
    *Internet(My whole life is virtual, well virtually.)
    *Eggs from my local fishmonger(A big tray of 12 for £1.00 and they are almost all double yolkers! Is that a good or a bad thing?Hmmm, Wonder how close to the power plant that farm is?)
    *sarcasm(My preferred form of wit)
    *My dictionary(Couldn,t have mentioned sarcasm without it)

    Sky, although managed to batter it down to 12 quid a month (through a lot of haggling as I've had an awful lot of hassle with them). I know this is bad but I don't drink or smoke and have given up chocolate.
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J
