Kerri, I bought some cooked meat bits, 69p for 100g. Harley will only eat biscuits but will eat a bit of meat if you offer him some. I gave him a piece of cooked chicken last night about an inch square cut up and even then he left some of that! My plan is to put a bit on top of wet cat food to see if will encourage him to eat the pouches I bought him. I know his biscuits are a complete meal but I think cats should have a bit of meat in their diet too.

The other cats would eat £1 of meat without it even touching the sides

Ooh thanks this makes sense, I feed mine for £10 a week on raw meat (£5 each). We weaned them off the biscuits.

Ah ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaa! That's brilliant! I say hang on to it for a few free months.... Well done!! :T:T:T

I plan to

Just treated myself to Friends With Benefits on DVD in the HMV sale - £2.99 and will keep me going with my Justin Timberlake love for a few weeks Not sure that's allowed in this challenge but I heart him and I want to look at him in bed with Mila Kunis....

Went to Aldi to get the few bits from the Super 6 that I wanted as the offer ends today, picked up cherry toms and 4xgarlic for 98p, going to make this with them as have some anchovies in the cupboard that need eating. Also a tin of potatoes to make spanish omelette tonight.

Tomorrow will be a SFD!

Lilian, I think if a £2.99 obsession with Justin T keeps you indoors and away from other spending temptations, it's a necesary bargain IMO and I'm sure Kat won't put you on the naughty step for too long

Hope he learnt his lesson . I sorted through a packet of blueberries yesterday and only threw the mouldy ones and kept the rest after rinsing. They'll be fine .
.

apparently if you put all fruits in a bowl of water with a 'glug' of vinegar, and give them all a wee rinse/swirl around, it cleans off all the nasties on them and extends their 'shelf life'.

havent tried it yet tho. keep meaning to..

Food shop done tonight ~ spent £52.77 including £3 of Christmas saving stamps.

Got to buy DS2 tie and school badge and pay the window cleaner tomorrow (I'm guessing that still has to count as a spend day although I already have the cash in my purse to pay for them??).

Last spend day for this week should be Saturday but hoping to stick to a strict budget then.

Keep Yomping!!!

Evening

I realised that I have not yet posted my budget for the month so here goes.

SW - £24.75
Food budget - £4.59/£150
Petrol - £50
SFD - 1/20

I have spent £4.59 so far this month but today was a SFD

It is my Mum's birthday later this month but I have bought her present already. If we go out to celebrate I will pay out of the food budget

Congrats on the badge NSK I laughed when you mentioned the Colin the Catapillar cake, I went to my friend's birthday celebration on Saturday and was discussing with friends in the car whether he would have a Colin cake and whether I would manage to get the face before anyone else I didn't because there was no Colin cake

Great to see newcomers on board!!! Raven... Having gone through this trip to becoming debt free - any helpful hints you can share? How long did it take you...?

Hi,
Luckily it wasnt huge debt [no credit cards or mortgage] I cracked down on water and leccy consumption, treats were a myth, clothes were from charity shops, meals were planned, baking was done, ebaying was done, no holidays, lots of walks - all the things suggested right here on the boards. It still took about 4 years!
I might add that during that time I split with my unhelpful ex, and had to claim benefits which strangely did help, although my household income was the same as it had been when my ex was here. Turned out that he'd been hoarding money for ages but never mentioned it, so it neednt have been so dire.
Live and learn!

Beautiful Ravens... if you are self employed then hats off to you! Not an easy thing to be doing in the current climate... yellow sticker purchases are a definite SFD though...

Thanks! Its a work in progress, I hope things pick up soon as Im only breaking even, its the same for many people :mad:

Edit -
July 3rd - not strictly SFD. Had to buy 3 sweets for the kids, came to 75p, and also HAD to get ibuprofen for £2.15! Extortionate, thankyou Bo*ts!
Got some free lamb offcuts from the butcher for the dog as we have run out of dog food...I offered him £2 but he said no worries! Aw.
