Here we go again. LBM number a million

Any hair colourant other then grey is very MSE. Try getting an assistant to get a lower priced product down from a top shelf when you have grey hair and you are invisible. Red is best cos they are are worried you will let loose the red haired temper on them!! I am a big fan of 6 feet under. Did you ever see the episode about shoplifting with Kathy Bates. So true! Women of a certain age/colouring are invisible. It is interesting that men going grey are distinguished and those of us that aren't male become insignificant/totally overlooked.

I've never watched 6 ft under Patanne. I know what you mean about the grey hair though. I always said I would grow old gracefully and just let it do it's thing but now I have changed my mind and I am going to grow old disgracefully . So after dinner tonight the hair will be getting dyed. I have got a light shade and will see how it turns out. Hopefully not a nice shade of green or similar!!

Not too many spends today. £4.40 but was only for milk and daffodils and tulips for my Mum and Dad's grave. Went up after church with my friend and her Mum as they were going to her Dad's grave and I went along. It is such a shame as they are just so devastated. Very sad. We did however come up and have a cuppa and things got a bit better. My friend goes back to work tomorrow. She works as a funeral arranger and it will be so hard for her. I am quite concerned as to how she will cope.

So today has been a day of doing and I am pretty much organised for the week ahead. I have made a big pot of soup and a massive pot of stew that'll do us at least 3 times. Smells lush.

So after dinner I will sort out my ironing and then have a go at my assignment. It looks quite easy so I have kicked my own backside and I will see what I can pull together.

Take care all xx

Excellent news on the assignment and all the other stuff achieved.

1st part of assignment is done so I am very very happy. Just a 250 word essay to do tomorrow which will be relatively easy- I hope !!

So dinner was delish. Also got 2 more lots of stew for 2 further dinners for the three of us. I got 2 lots of mashed turnip and also 4 lots of sweet potato and carrot soup. Smashing stuff

I've nearly used my fruit and veg box up. I have enough for a couple of days but will get another order later in the week. Never ate so many vegetables in my life which is good.

Going to chill now watching extreme couponing. Am addicted !!

I share your addiction. I just wish we had even half the opportunities.

INOD I have been looking on twitter tonight and I reckon it might be a good source. Even if I could save about £20 a month I would be really happy. Am not into having a stockpile or anything

in_need_of_direction

I think the stockpile could draw me in. I think it's a result of having parents who lived thru ww2 and rationing. I have the siege mentality that they had.

INOD am talking nonsense I would sooo want a stockpile but I would need to get rid of a child to have any room for one.

My chat about coupons is obviously paying off as my friend in work gave me a £5 off voucher tonight for Morrisons. Bless her. So I am going to pop in and get the massive Persil powder. It is reduced to £4.99 from £12 and I will get it absolutely free. How cool is that

Had to buy toner for printer though but would have needed it anyway. DS has a laser printer which I use. I help him buy the toner as it is expensive but it means I get excellent print quality and I am connected to it wirelessly.

NSD today which is good. First one for a wee while.

Assignment done so I am very very happy about that.

Nowt else to report for the mo xx

Tesco have spend over £40 and get £5 off your next shop, so as my food bill is usually around £90, I went shopping last Thursday spent £45, got £5 voucher, then did the same on Friday. So this week will shop again on Thursday hoping to spend around the same as last week but will spend my £5 voucher and then the same on Friday. ok I know it will mean two shopping trips but at least I will get £10 off my shopping. Every little helps.x

Forgot to say love extreme couponing wish we had it here, but don't like the idea of being in supermarkets for hours though. Would love stockpile of stuff like the people have in the programme but I would ensure it was stuff I would use.x
