    Lol Puzzcat. I'm the same. I however have 29 sausages already :rotfl:. I had such a battle with myself in Aldi yesterday not to browse. I'm glad I managed though and am happy enough with my spends.

    I'm going to use the list I made to keep a note of what I have used up.

    You win.. I only have 28... although I do have 10 individual quiches and 2 big one's... and i'm not saying how much fish I have... but I could stock a small lake...:D

  • Grr not a happy MIT. I called Halifax re 0% balance transfer and I cannot utilise it which is gutting. I was sent a letter a long time ago that stated that my interest rate would rise if I kept the account open and I closed the account but held the balance and have been repaying it ever since. Because there is still a balance the account has a balance transfer offer on it but because I closed the account it cannot be reinstated. When I asked why the offer was there I couldn't get an answer except that I couldn't use it. Annoying.com. Never mind

  • Paid £70 to CC so I definitely reach my £350 target along with my minimum payments. The £70 payment has made a £200 difference to my snowball . Just shows how much difference overpayments make. I am motivated again folks xx

  • Brilliant news on the maintenance and snowball. Grrrr to H@lifax though!

    I've just reorganised my freezer to make everything more visible. Hate to think how long some stuff has been in there :o. I only have 10 sausages though :p.

    How lush does this look? £20 but that has filled my fridge and my fruit bowl with fresh fruit and salad stuff. Fresh from market this morning and smells amazing

    Also spent £1.50 on burger buns

    I only just realised this diary was here.

    Hope you don't mind a subscriber - I have 32 sausages in my freezer if that helps to establish my credentials :D
  • Ha ha welcome Moomin. We are however ashamed of our sausage buying habit and are trying to curtail our enthusiasm for food shopping............well I am anyway. Dunno about puzzcat :rotfl:

    I'm lagging behind on the sausage front - a quick count reveals just 8 and only 6 YS items. :rotfl:

    Great news MiT on the maintenance money and well done on your planning. Looking very organised there. :D
