    Let us know your findings, I don't drink twinings but do stick to branded tea bags, I could do with finding a decent supermarket one.

    Will do :)
  • £6.51 spent on groceries today. Had an interview, so nipped into the large MrAs for a browse afterwards. Bought lots of school uniform for the girls, pj bottoms and some casual pants for me ..... as I got the job :T.

    I have to go for a little trial on Weds and then I will receive my hours. It's not the greatest of hours as it's late evenings, which means my eldest will have to watch over DD2 whilst I am there , and a taxi home as buses stop at 9.15pm; but after being out of work for such a long time, I don't want to pass by an opportunity. Possibly somebody might be going my way and offer me a lift ... who knows.

    Will have to be even more frugal now, as all my incomings and outgoings are going to be all over the place to start.

    Off to update sig.

    I've spent £2.03 in lodl, eggs, a choccy bar and some crisps. I only went in for the eggs, but fancy a night in with a DVD, nibbles and glass of wine.

    Congratulations K9! It's so exciting starting something new :)

    I've had 2 NSD today and yesterday. We are shopping this weekend for our Thanksgiving (Canadian) dinner on Sunday. We only need a chunk of turkey (or a chicken if it works out cheaper), a few veggies and the usual bread/milk/eggs, so shouldn't be too bad. I have an envelope of receipts which I should start adding up. I'm guessing we have £80 of our £150 budget used..
