Spagbol:eek: there's so much difference! :rotfl: I go for the 69p fruit/veg of the week saves a fortune on tesc0 and lid1 sometimes but you have to take a chance it will be veg you need this week.


Just learned about shopitize - do any of you use it?

Oh do you think Aldi much cheaper than Lidl? Maybe it's the stuff I get...I bought onions (red & white) garlic, cucumber, grapes and blueberries which were all about the same as Lidl (perhaps the Cuke at 69p cheaper but in Lidl quite often even less than that) but things like wheat biscs, coffee, meat, juice (get through a lot of apple juice!) which are my staples were a few pence more than lidl. Booze and frozens and dairy seemed a few pence cheaper but again pretty comparable.

Good morning

Just sold a bag on ebay which, after fees, made me £19.38. Paid that amount off of credit card so total for

#11 £867,83/£10,224 = 8.47%

I have another item ending today which has a bid of £30 and 17 watchers, so when that sells I will pay the total, after fees, off of the CC :j

Have a good weekend everyone

OH's student loan has just turned up, so we've sat down with the spreadsheet and totted in where that money has gone. 3 months @ £500 from him means I only need to pay in £1307 each month to cover our monthly spends, so all the extra is going to go towards our annual spends. We've worked out in 6 months time we'll have our annual spends pot covered for an entire year. I'm super excited by this as it will mean that come June we'll both be paying in and can have all that lovely dosh going towards our savings pot We're already under budget for this month on the spending front too more £££ towards my debt yay \o/ Feeling really positive today, can you tell?

I can tell! Glad to hear you so positive :j

I knew it was too good to be true!!! OH has gone to get a haircut and pick up a parcel for me. We decided we weren't having any bread until the flour arrives on Monday from am4zon (20p cheaper each bag and we got 5 bags of white & 5 of wholegrain). Anyway, phones me and says "what do you want for lunch" I say "we've got soup in the cupboard", so he's decided he is going to go and buy a roll!!! I know it's only a bread roll, but I don't think he's getting this whole not spending money when we have food in stuff, I'm cross. But I know if I kick off about a bread roll then that is just silly!
I'm hoping the parcel is my calendar so I can write down a meal plan on it!

My OH does stuff like that all the time and it drives me mad! I guess the upside is he is using his own money, rather than mine though. He's a coca cola fiend. It costs so much money, so I did the fornightly shop the other day and ordered some bottles that were on offer. I said that when it runs out he can have Robinson's as that will last for ages and costs half the fraction...but no!

On a better note, I have started my paying back my £4000! It isn't much to look at atm, but OH pays my weekly towards the bills as he gets paid weekly, so I can technically put all the money he gives me away. Plus a bit extra this time as I did the shopping and paid for it myself. I have £20 in my wallet to last the week but I'm hoping that it can go away as I will not need it if I organise myself on breakfasts/lunches and dinners.

#84 £140/£4000

If your OH is anything like mine, they just think of new and exciting ways to be a PITA!! I would kick off about a bread roll but you are right, it is a bit silly and it just leads to an argument so you probably shouldn't but I can't help myself when I'm cross .

Give 'em an inch though and they take a mile :rotfl:
