O dear K9s sorry I have just realised what PTS meant.. thinking of you today but you're right, it's the kindest thing xx take care
hope to keep on budget for the weekend/week but may be tricky due to the move.. I'm planning to get an online delivery for monday though to stop last-min takeaway purchases... (as my m+S groupon voucher doesn't seem available yet tut tut)
Have a lovely weekend everyone x

JackieO - thanks for the reminder about that blog.. am going to look at it again and plan next week's meals based on her recipes hurrah!

Thanks lizalloared, NickJW, and sheeppappar. It's nice to know people are thinking of you at a sad time


Small spend just now of 84p on YS sliced bread for toast.

DD normally likes beans on toast on Thursday, but her Dad took her out for tea as he was in the UK yesterday for the first time since Nov. So that meal has been postponed until today. I'm not sure we will feel much like eating though later on!

I can't see us spending anything now until shopping comes on Sat, might even delay it coming until Sunday if any slots left.

Just wanted to add my good wishes K9, lots of love to you.

Hi there

A little late in the month but was wondering if I could join in?

Just came across this forum the other day and not sure if I'm posting in the right place or how to go about it correctly.

Looking to spend £280.00 a mth for 2 adults , 1 teenager, 2 cats and 1 dog.

many thanks

Morning all,

Went to MrM yesterday with the intention of spending £35 for the payday bonus and spent £59 :mad:. I even had a list but got tempted by offers.
Went to A1di this morning for fresh stuff and spent another £44.

Have spent a lot but freezer and cupboards are rammed so am still optimistic to stay in target.

Off to take my youngest DD to a taster session at primary school today. My last baby will be at school in Sept. What will I do?!?


K9 - sorry about your dog (hugs)
Meg72 - that was a lovey story about the lady in Asda, it always feels really nice to help someone save money
Coxy - we have an outside chest freezer in our undercover courtyard as we have no room indoors for one. It is fab as I can store soooo much in there. I didn't get one specially for outside but we rarely get frost here (in cornwall, protected by hills) and so has been fine for 5 or so years so far..

Have a lovely, sunny day
Jedi x

Can we have the recipe for this? Looks gorgeous!

If I have time in my lunch break I'm putting the recipe on the blog, so will copy & paste in here when done.

If not, I'm out tonight so it'll be Monday. But I will get it done it was so tasty and satisfying,unheard of for a meal without any carb/starches!! :rotfl:

I need to add to my spending....a few bits to a total of £30.04 oops.
However, that should (no it will!) last until a shop next week which I intend to last for the rest of the month (with a top up the following week).

bartelmy if your trying to save a bit and live on pennies do look at a blog called
A girl called Jack.
Google it and she has some amazing recipes to make food from buttons her and her son survived on a tenner a week and it can be done if your careful and some of the recipes are really nice and very easy to do.and before you ask no its no me :) as she is only 27 and lives in Southend She has done so well with her blog that she managed to land a job and a book deal for her recipes which should come out next springI think it will be a runaway best seller

Thank you! Just googled, and her recipes do look good.:)

Sorry about your dog, K9. My dog, Sadie, was put to sleep when I was thirteen, and I cried for days.:( We'd had her since about three months before I was born.
