  • Evening all.

    Checking in. Walked to work, and had packed lunch as usual (fifth day on the trot of ham and coleslaw sandwiches - I'm so glad it's the weekend). Caught the bus home tonight as I go to an evening class on a Friday night so spent £1.10 on bus fare.

    Too tired to even think of alcohol tonight - although some of us at evening class are planning a quick trip over to France on the ferry to stock up on wine so I will be dreaming of rose wine when I go to bed!

    Totals are as follows:

    Food - £10.75/£100
    Petrol - 0/£70
    Misc - £6.75/£120

    Will check in again tomorrow - after a well deserved lie in.

    Good morning! FIL arrived and the first day went rather cheaply, fed us (roast chicken and veg and HM creamy sauce for about £4 all in) from the freezer etc. Hubby just bought some drinks for himself. Tonight feeding the relations might be a different mattet but we'll see. Better dash, DS is screaming is head off downstairs while hubby is sorting breakfeast for a change.

    Morning all
    Checkin in for yesterday-
    Had alcoholic last night although I bought. 'Round of drinks' for 2 people for £4! I impressed myself as I swapped my lovely local bar where price would have been £8.00 for my local pub.
    Cheap and nice night- no complaints :beer:
    Due to small spend did not manage NSD and failed to drag myself outta bed for exercise.
    Will update totals this evening.

    Have a great money saving day.:)
  • Morning all.
    Quick check in for me this morning as I am off to Bristol for the night. Managed to keep to last weeks Bristol and determined not to spend unnecessarily in Bristol! Keep finding more bits and bobs to sell - mainly sing local selling page on Facebook as no selling fees. Every time I think I've sold everything I can I find something else - our house will be empty by the time I have finished!!!
    Still eating out cupboards and freezer although I have to say I am getting quite frightened by how empty they both look! Don't know why it unnerves me so much!
    Have a lovely weekend everyone.
