    Yes they are the ones. Buy in one shop. Don't forget the fillers.

    Lol, I was getting shampoo yesterday, walked away from the shampoo aisle and DD 10 pipes up don't you need the cheap conditioner - most of the time I want to pop her in a box and leave on the sally army doorstep but occasionally she comes in handy.:D

    I did a bit of checking back ;):D

    Is this the red and rose I need:

    Vina Albali Smooth Red Tempranillo (750ml
    Vina Albali Rosado Tempranillo (750ml)

    I assume I buy 3 wine in 1 shop to get the APG.

    Yes those are the ones, Red is just under £6 and Rose just over £6, but go through at 3 for £10.

    Doesn't seem to work for APG purposes, if you say, have 2 rose and one red.

    Best to keep to 3's of one type.

    It's such a fab feeling isn't it?

    Well done :D

    it's the best feeling in the world when you have money left at the end of the month.
    We teetered on the edge for about 20 years, OH always earned just slightly too much for us ever to get benefits but we muddled through thanks to bargain hunting and MOcs etc.
    I have an excel chart. In one column I list everything we have in the bank, in my purse, in :money:APGS/BMs /TPP, gift vouchers, gift cards, PayPal, amazon etc. On the right hand side I list everything due to be paid over the next month -cc bills etc. Then one total is taken from the other and that is our true 'worth' I update the chart 3 or 4 times a week and whoever a new bill looms so I always know exactly how we are doing.
    Gradually we started turning a corner over the last 4 years and this year we actually have ISAs and 2 monthly savings accounts- the days of waking in the middle of the night worrying about bills are now in the past :
    So for anyone struggling, it does eventually get better, you just have to keep plugging away

    It's on the box, top right corner on the front by the model's face; or on the lid.
