Rising to the top of the ocean - and staying afloat!

House and Car

Again, initially doesn't look too bad!



But .... once the fuel's deducted .....



AND the car tax is due at the end of Feb, so that's £100 to come off the balance..... and then there's those winter tyres:eek: (which are absolutely FAB and I wouldn't really have wanted to be without them this week:o)

OK .... that's me done with the figures - for now anyway:rotfl:


Pots seem to be working well - quite happy with how they're split as well and they seem fairly (to me:o) logical .... fingers crossed I've got it cracked!:) (it's only been nearly 20 years since I left home )

No, no NO!

It's taken .... 20 YEARS for me to get to this point!:rotfl:

You are both way ahead of me by the fact that you've found :money:

The pot spreadsheets are very simple - literally the totals page (which is the one I've copied) and a sheet for each pot which shows one credit in each payday and one (if needed) out to cover spends on the c/card .... simples!:D

It does seem to be helping as I don't *think* I'm stressing about money as much?

Hope you are ok.
Hope you are not too tired & roads were ok.

Weegie ( no doubt autocorrect will change that as well) for us locals means Glasgow ... I dare say different places have different names for different things though ... And not all of them can be family friendly

Yep that's the one I was talking about rising ... I didn't know there were two

Feeling lazy now:o the initial energy of 1st thing has worn off already :rotfl:

Think I may go to P@H tomorrow.

I had a look at their website to see if it's worthwhile and ....

Dog's wet trays - I get 2 types:

Type one are 98p each but are on buy 18 for the price of 16 and if I then take off the 10%, it drops the price of each one to 78p - 20p saved / tray is pretty good:T.

The only place I can get cheaper means buying in huge quantities (3 packs of 18) which is obviously a lot bigger outlay in one go - they work out at 71p each.

Type 2 come in boxes of 12 and with the 10% off are coming in at 68p each - which is 20p saved on buying them individually :T. Unfortunately I can only get these in one flavour (that Maisie can eat) which is why I like to have some of Type 1 as well.


Cats wet food

Type 1 are on 12 for the price of 9 then - 10% are coming in at 28p instead of 42p each so quite good savings there

Type 2 are also 12 / 9 and coming out at 39p instead of 58p each

mmmm thinking it may be worth the trip - it's just bloomin' annoying that you can't use the voucher online :mad:

I also have a voucher to use at M&S so the saving on that one will just about cover fuel costs
