  • Hi everyone, sorry I'm late today ... had a lovely night with DM&DF and it was great to see them & get lots of cuddles from Maisie:) (my dog).

    So ... not a lot on the MSE front from me today but will be back with a list tomorrow!!:D
    Grocery Challenge £211/£455 (01/01-31/03)
    2016 Sell: £125/£250
    £1,000 Emergency Fund Challenge #78 £3.96 / £1,000
    Vet Fund: £410.93 / £1,000
    Debt free & determined to stay that way!
  • I've done quite a bit today.

    * I made my own sandwiches
    * Ate breakfast at home
    * Put a cheque for £11.80 and £5.00 cash back onto my overdraft.
    * When I came back to my desk, one of my colleagues gave me back the £20 she owed me, another one transfered £40 she owed me so another trip to the bank tomorrow.
    I won a free snickers on the inside of the wrapper at the weekend so I also have that to cash in for the end of an end of the week treat.

    Thanks for that recipe determined new ms. The photos of pastie with chips and breans look lovely simple food :) Will definitely give that a go.

    Found some solutions to xmas pressies today that will involve less galavanting(sp?) around. And look good for the money. Like Home Bargains Thorntons chocs for £4.99. I don't know about you guys but the more I shop the more I can find to buy. So the least shopping the better.

    Find this thread very inspiring :)
    :) Declutter 300 things in December challenge, 9/300. Clear the living room. Re-organize storage
