  • Still need to go food shopping. Will make a list tomorrow. Food planning. Anyone got any recipes or ideas for good healthy meals, drop me a line.. please. Might pick up a shift this week, help out and extra money for my pot.

    Add new items on to fleabay tomorrow also.. if I can enter two items a day, it will hopefully keep it ticking over.

    Admiring your motivation, you have a lot going on, a few money saving efforts. I too have to fleaBay a mountain of stuff but never seem to get the motivation to do it.

    A life by the sea sounds like a worthy cause. I heard a quote once that said the most worthwhile things do not happen with no effort so I'm sure your hard work now will deserve you the best reward.

    Keep up the good work!

  • Day 8/31


    Hi there mse world.......
    not long got home from my work and back again early tomorrow so not much time to stay online this evening...


    I've just checked my fleabay another £9.30 to add to my pot... signature altered to accommodate this sale...
    not got chance to add any more items tonight. hopefully tomorrow..


    Not been and done my weekly shop yet this week, we've been eating out of the cupboard and the fridge. so at this rate I might be saving at least half my food budget this week.... happy days...


    went to work today and ive picked up 3 extra shifts in the next two weeks so that's going to help... can I add that to my £10 a day challenge..?


    Got to go to bed now.... sleep tight mse world... over and out xxx
