Hi everyone,

Did a stocktake yesterday and lots of things seem to have 'walked' during the Christmas break Settled up with 2nd purse - a mahoosive £56.55 from my grocery budget (which incidently I have lowered this month :mad:) so must keep on top of things more to avoid such a huge bill!

DR delivery coming tomorrow and now I have some funds back in the purse I will be on the look out for bargains. Plus the children are back at school on Tuesday, so will be getting the usual packed lunch bits to buy back.

Have a great weekend everyone

Hello everyone *waves* I had a mad panic as we'd run out of br4nston beans and ended up paying £2.55 for them the other day!!! :eek::eek::eek:

So I'm going to get back on the SP bandwagon, although I think I'm going to start with £10 and see where that takes me. I'm going to stash the SP stuff in the bed so the OH doesn't know about it, otherwise things will more than likely go missing. I can't be without beans again, those prices are ridiculous!!!

Welcome back Kerri :wave:

I found colg@te advanced white toothpaste at 94p in Mr M the other day, reduced from £2. OH and I are a bit fussy so it's a bargain by our standards Bought 4 for Helen's Hideaway.
