    Hi everyone,

    Thanks Mothership for the B!sto tipoff - may venture there this weekend ;)

    This week I used £23.70 from stock, so totals are now:

    2nd purse - £100.22/£50
    3rd purse - £34.66
    Stock total - £136.80

    We won't be using anything from stock this weekend so I am going to transfer (virtually) £50.22 to 3rd purse and leave my £50 float for purchasing items.

    New totals:
    2nd purse - £50/£50
    3rd purse - £84.88
    Stock total - £136.80

    Happy happy happy!!!

    Have a great Easter everyone.

    Hi all,

    Just been to the farm shop butchers and bought £35.93 worth of meat for the freezer. There are 8 separate meals worth and I will pay £5 back when using each.

    LOVING THIS SYSTEM :grinheart

    So pleased you like it Coxy11
    One of the things I like about the system is you always have food and money in one purse or another.

    I've still not bought my new fridge freezer yet. I've not had a minute.

    I checked my wee ISA the other day £32 interest for a year on 6K not very much lol.
