Keep warm everyone!

2nd shop since DS came back home and it's proving a little bit tougher to keep within £130 this month. Went to MrM's and spent £29.33

good luck!! I rejoined WW last oct and have lost nearly 1.5 stone.. and i have to say i've found it so much easier this time as I had already been meal planning for weeks trying to be MSE!! double win

i need to update my totals for the weekend.. not sure I will make budget but think at least I am thinking about what I spend and not wasting stuff so it's got to be better than what i'd be spending otherwise xx

feeling very under the weather today with some sort of virus - would love to crawl into bed for the day but have my own 2 kids to look after plus two extras this afternoon. Was going to make a sponge cake and some brownies but can't face it.... Dinner is quick and easy tonight thankfully - toad in the hole made with a bag of frozen sausages and 2 packets of tesco value batter accominpanied by baked beans & broccoli. Kids can have rice crispy buns of yogurts after.

Thanks sheep Wow you did brilliantly :T
I was a bit worried doing the propoints as not long after they changed to them I stopped going. I couldn't fathom that silly wheel points counter and DD had done really well so we stopped.
But joy of joys the wheel has gone! Have found it so easy this week and fingers crossed I'll weigh a little less tonight

liz-paul hope you feel better soon. Having to keep your eye on little ones when you're poorly is no fun.

Hi all,

MrT total was £31.27 which should (hopefully) do us the week in addition to 2nd purse stock. No need to buy bread or milk as DH came back from scout camp with two untouched white loaves (now in freezer) plus 10 pints ss milk :j

DSis had asked for fairtrade hot choc so I picked up 4 of the C!ipper ones on offer at £1.29 (SEL) only for the SA to ring them through at £2.79 full price. I toddled off to CS and got £12 double the difference back so they paid me to take them away :D:D

Off to update sig.

WOW coxy fantastic result, I just love it when these things happen,
an peps get one over on sm. I mainly shop in Asda and if I have been overcharged on something and get the 2.00 gift card I go an buy the same again and pass the receipt onto a neighbour so she can get gift card as well, they never put these things right straight away.
