Mr MWC stinks - I'm thinking of kicking him out already! So it was probably not a good idea that we had kale & brussels sprout caesar slaw for dinner :rotfl:

Welcome home Mr MWC!
He seems to have bought a lot of washing home with him:rotfl:Early retired - 18th December 2014

I'm on the third load now, two to go!
Mr MWC fell asleep on the sofa so I've sent him to bed
First WW weigh-in tomorrow morning, I'm quietly confidentNot surprisingly Mr MWC is looking a bit tubby so he's back on the 5:2 diet next week.
And I've spent more of the grocery budget - £1.50 Mr T CC voucher + £8.39 cashMortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

Halfway through the month so time for an update:muddywhitechicken wrote: »I counted the loose change pots today - £68.72
So that's our grocery budget set for Frugal January: £120 of nectar points, £7 clubcard vouchers, £19 of love2shop vouchers (from RM surveys) and £68.72 cash :T
As the fridge/freezer/larder are groaning and as Mr MWC will be away for a couple of weeks, I'm expecting the budget to last well into February...
Cash £68.72 - £24.37 = £44.35 remaining
Nectar points £120.00 - £47.50 = £72.50 remaining
Clubcard vouchers £7.00 - £7.00 = £0.00 remaining
Love2shop vouchers £19.00 - £15.00 = £4.00 remaining
Minimal spends for rest of week (sprouts + mushrooms) and the freezer is still rammed!
