    Hi everyone, hope you all had a great Christmas :D

    Have just settled up with 2nd purse, and also added a couple of items of stock today as I went to Co$tco this morning. Got some more pep$i max, olive oil and quavers.

    Current totals are:

    2nd purse - £49.82
    3rd purse - £152.71
    Stock value - £229.05

    It's payday on Monday so I will transfer January's £20 into second purse as usual. I've not been using the stock to my best advantage this past month, so time to get a grip I think!

    3rd purse will probably be wiped out next week when I take the children ski-wear shopping. Well that is what's it's been earmarked for, and if I hadn't done this system we would be having to find it from somewhere else.

    Hope you all have a fab new year's eve. We are hosting a party (gulp) and I'm working NYD (double gulp) hence the pep$i max, no alcohol for me BOOOOO!

    Okay so I caved and have placed a largish DR meat order which is coming next Saturday. Managed to get a code for free delivery which included a Saturday slot, so happy with that.

    Have ordered pork chops, pork sausages and beef rib trim. Nommy nom nom.

    Hi all :)
    Just to say thanks to Kerry & Coxy for running this thread and Mothership for the original idea :)
    It's been an interesting experiment for me but I haven't managed to keep up with it properly so I won't re-join for next year.
    Wishing you all the very best :)
