    Not a NSD today... I've done the weekly shop this afternoon and spent 71p real money :D

    Actually, I spent £40.71 but I used 8000 nectar points :T

    8 pints of milk = £2.00
    1 loaf of bread = £1.25
    Vegetables = £19.85 :eek: I didn't even buy anything exotic...
    1 bag of apples & a carton of grape juice = £0.01 :T yes, 1p! I had a coupon for a free carton of juice and the full price was deducted even though it was on offer :D
    Brita water filters = £16.00 (half-price and same price as Amazon)
    Sainsburys magazine = £1.60 (I also picked up a copy of their Live Well For Less free magazine and it has quite a few recipes that I will try)

    Fruit and veg are just so horrendously expensive:( no wonder low income households struggle to maintain a balanced diet of fresh produce.

    How are the Ms' Henny-penny's doing today? I am missing my egg laying daily update:D
    February13 - £74990 (or thereabouts)
    MND - Let's go for 2020 'cos it's got a nice ring to it:D
    C'mon nattypants:cool:

    Things to do today:

    Go to chicken shop and buy chickens if they have any (it might be 2-3 weeks too early)

    Investigate the unpleasant smell in a kitchen cupboard...

    Clean the house

    Laundry

    Cupboard emptied and cleaned - no obvious suspects for smell :huh:

    All 87 items that live in the cupboard have been washed and dried - fingers have gone pruney!

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
