Hi everyone,

Sorry I've been MIA - well technically we have been skiing, and the MIA refers to DS1 who got lost on the piste on the first day (don't ask....) Anyway, it's payday today so another £20 has gone into 2nd purse.

Balances now stand at:
2nd purse - £70/£50 (thinking of doing another DR order and desperately need some chicken.....)
3rd purse - £34.66 so almost halfway to my bracelet :j

Hope you are all doing okay and welcome to the newbies. If you want to take the plunge and join us officially, please let me know

Not been on for a while but having been using a few items from stock.

Today I banked £50.00 from the third purse so that makes £100 in total. (nothing wanted at moment so have banked it to stop it just been frittered away on rubbish)
Second purse stands at £37.55 to date

Hi everyone,

It's Friday and that means I need to pay 2nd purse for items used during this week. Paid in £36.80. Did a DR order last night so new totals are:

3rd purse - £34.66
Stock total £150 (not including DR meat coming Weds)

Not too shabby

Hi everyone,

£29.60 going into 2nd purse for items used this week. DR order came on Wednesday, but still need to get some chicken breast/thighs. Very wary of SM meat now I've tried DR, but may try C**p later as their Elmwood chicken is well-regarded.

Totals now stand at:
2nd purse - £55.50
3rd purse - £34.66

Had a result on Mothers Day in that DH and children bought me the base bracelet I wanted, so I only have to buy the charms. DH ordered them for me (they take 3 weeks) and I will pay using 3rd purse - £66

Hope everyone else is doing okay. No recent news from Mothership

hope this may help someone -
Morri$ons have 500g Bi$to gravy granules for £1.55 usually around £3.00 so picked up two today but will get more on Saturday. Also they had John We$t Red salmon at £1.99 for 213g which is less than I have paid so hope to grab a couple of these on Saturday as well.


2nd Purse @ £38.45
3rd Purse @ £ 0.00
BANKED - £100.00

Hi all,

Thanks Billie-jo , will be popping into M's tonight on a whoopsie hunt so will check out those deals :money:

Got 2 boxes of cereal and 2 bottles of mens shower gel last night in T's. Would have got more shower gel, but wanted the boys to try it out first before committing

Totals updated.

Hi There

I've been up to my eyes in it lately not had time to post but I read the thread regularly to see how you are all doing. I've not even had time to buy the new fridge freezer yet. I'm trying to run my freezer stock down.

My 3rd Purse has around £800 in it. My cupboards are overflowing.

You may remember I lost my step son to cancer, we discovered he had children and grandchildren, and great grandchildren. I've been enjoying being a granny making birthday cakes and all that.
One of the reasons I've not been on is I've not had time to do the totals for all the months I've missed. If its okay with all of you I'd dearly love to join in again, but I wont have time to do a catch up on the totals.

I'm nearly finished another monster ironing just 8 sheets left and I'm free till the next wash lol.

I'm going to use some of my 3rd purse money to repair my greenhouse a few panels got damaged n the winter.

In October last year I took £2000 out of my ISA to help my daughter pay for a trip to Uganda to build wells at village schools. It now has exactly £6000 in it. So I managed to save a total of £8,000 since I joined MSE. I'm pretty chuffed with this. As it all would have been frittered away.

Just one more thing to say I've missed you all
