    :j I've got a number!:D

    Think I may need a bit more than £60 now as I've been looking at a rather well known Casserole Dish range :obut there is an outlet shop at MacArthur Glen so .... maybe not too much more (hopefully!)

    Sometimes I miss living in York so much as I'd be able to pop in to the shop there & get a better idea of prices for them ..... although - that's why I had such big debts living 10 mins from the Designer Outlet so maybe it's a good thing!:rotfl:

    Shall we say £100 just now ....
    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!

    TIRED....................

    a NSD day, so no more 50ps.

    having a nice chat with a guy online, missing the actual guy I am seeing and wishing I wasn't in my job !!

    but then I 'd have no 50ps.

    So hope all is well with everyone

    Hi Buffy

    I would love to be part of your 50p saving challenge as I need to be super frugal next year. Need to get started quick as I have already overspent this Christmas. Count me in.

    Morning everyone, just a quickie to say i've potted a few 50p's (or as we used to call them Sheriffs Badges) this week :D not keeping a running total, though why is it you have loads when you're not saving them and then when you are they suddenly become scarce?

    Enjoy the rest of the weekend :beer:

    Can I join? I don't really deal with cash much anymore so not setting a target, but will save every 50p I do get.
