Are there just the two of you?

For the next 6 weeks or so

Then there will be nappies etc to buy!! Though I have stocked up over the past few months when things have been on offer. Think I have more baby wipes than the local supermarket!!

I like the Takeaway Secret too Bartelmy not a 'pretty' book but one I go back to regularly.

I finally got a chance to call into MrT for some value cocoa, my online shop said it was no longer available but they had a few tubs in store at 64p with an offer sign rather than the 99p it used to be. Hope they are not discontinuing it - one of the very few things I go in for and it is fine for baking with. 250g reduced fat value cocoa MrT 64p. Cheapest elsewhere is over £2 a tub.

Adding £20 to my total spends as had a fish n chip takeaway last night DH and I spent so long in the garden making the most of the weather that we ran out of time to cook.

Off to farm shop in a bit to get some BBQ bits. I did have family ready-made lasagne on the meal plan for tonight, but it looks like another hot day coming so need to be prepared!

Hmm you're in the North West too so wonder why your stores aren't running the offer. I wonder if it is store specific!?

My Dad is taking me shopping tomorrow so i am going to try and get some bits from Aldi, like FR eggs and f&v and tuna (as it is cheaper there), also passata (as i like the quality of theirs better). He will also be going in Mr A too, so i am going to have to really have some self control tomorrow. I would otherwise not go, but it means we get to have a change of scenery, and i might get chance to stock up on smaller leggings in George; as i have dropped two dress sizes, and i am still in my old ones which are looking like Nora Batty's stockings :rotfl:

I've also done a £40 shop at Mr T's to come in the evening. So lots of spends tomorrow but i am aiming to come under £90 all in tomorrow. This should bring me to a smidge over the £200 mark, with just under £100 to play with in the following weeks, and a £5 off Mr T voucher next week.

Oh Well done on the weight loss, I woulnt mind looking like Nora Batty if I could drop 2 sizes, I did really well at the begining and lost 1.1/2 stone but its gradually creeping back on

Does anyone know how to make the chinese style marinade for chicken and pork, a friend has ben asking me for ages to find this for her but I cant find it at all. There are lots of recipes but not the one she is after, its the red sticky stuff. My attempt at making this was a disaster,
