    It's a pumpkin, and it is no longer an 8 incher :j Can't believe how fast it is growing, but it will slow down soon as it has to grow more to look bigger, put on more mass so to speak :D


    Oops silly Susie lol guess I was focusing on the size rather than what it was ;) and wow what else can I say :)

    I have just been thinking while hanging out the washing.

    If I had not found this site we would probably be stoney broke and living off dregs. Instead I am spending less than ever, we have had several so-called "finest" meals over the past few weeks, we have enough wine to re-float the Titanic. We have enough washing powder and softener to last years, we will NEVER have to buy air freshener again, we have enough handwash to last years, and washing up liquid.

    I am sitting here eating Special K (which I would NEVER pay for) and woopsied grapes, and realising I have never said one thing

    THANK YOU GUYS FOR GIVING US BACK OUR LIVES :beer:

    I second that:T:T..I only found the thread in February when Argos were selling those gift cards...I had been doing a weekly shop at m buying only what we needed, no luxury items, mainly value items...and that was getting less on a weekly basis..
    How things have changed, I too have a cupboard full of washing liguid, washing up liquid, a decent supply of toilet roll and my freezer is fit to burst. We eat better, save more and it's all down to the people on this wonderful thread:T:T:) thankyou.
  • Morning all :hello:

    We all tend to focus on size from time to time :o:o:p
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    Morning all.
    Hope everyone is ok.
    I've put us on a £20 grocery budget this week. The freezer and cupboards are all rammed so we shouldn't have to spend hardly anything. The only thing brought yesterday was milk and a paper. The hubby is convinced I can't go the week with out splashing out. I may have to have a little wager with him :)

    Off for a catch up. Back in a bit x

    I may have to join you on this next week :D
    Our cupboards are now full and my nice new fridge freezer is fit to burst as well (2 fridges, 3 freezers now all full :rotfl: )
    Fair few of us in this house though so I'm thinking £30 a week may be my limit :)

    Good morning!

    Off for a bit of crazy golf with my ex boyfriend later today. Crazy golf plus ANIMATRONIC DINOSAURS! Little bit excited.

    Here are my results from my shop last night

    Comparison total £11.07 £6.64

    Paid 4.57 after apgs and got a shiny new £5.10 APG back :D

    Bit peeved I picked up the pork and pasta by accident and lost out there. I'll be more careful next time.

    Better to be safe than sorry sometimes :) unless I'm 10% confident I've got it right I take the 10p (ish) hit on the APG.
    I don't always get the N/A jar as I worry I might have accidentally picked up 2 N/As and throw the whole lot out (poor Tiger managed to do that yesterday)
