    I am going to be really good and keep a ledger of sort this year. I used to the last time we paid down the mortgage.

    ME and him were discussing how little we lived on when the kids were wee and he was at colllege. I do not know how I managed it. I didnt coupon or whoopsie shop. I just really watched the pennies and we had several bootsales. Family were good at donating boot sale stuff then refusing their share.

    Going to have college fees for the oldest to go to as he is repeating a lvel on a different course so this is the make everything count course

    Well done! You can do this!

    Think there will be a few of us applying the MSE mantra, and doing the grocery challenge :)

    The frugal living challenge can give some useful tips:

  • For me money is tight I'm in a low paid job this thread means I have spare money to do things with my Dd not got any cupboards except kitchen and no shed to hold stash all my stash sits in my bedroom wich is tiny so 99% of glitches I don't go for
  • I can easily let a glitch go by..........

    I don't see the point in huge stockpiles of everything - i don't want to shuffle into rooms because stockpiles take over.

    I'm just not a hoarder. Often I think i'm on the wrong thread....

    No your not!

    I hate shopping, and I mean really hate shopping. If my mother did not agree to shop for clothing for the kids they would have been naked!

    Now, I can just about tolerate A, T, S or M, but when there is a glitch.... I quite enjoy it!

    So I know I am on the right thread!

  • Morning All :D

    Out of interest, has anyone complained to Mr Shoes about cancelled orders? They send out standard email saying technical errore & no stock blah blah blah, but still showing stock for items I ordered :(

    No, why would we complain. We are trying to exploit a mistake they have made... They have a right to cancel any order.

    Just back from my T extra and chap doing reducing had been told due to large overstock all woopsies today were being done early so those that brave it there may not be much later as the prices at the moment are pretty good (Considering it was 11am)

    Whole medium chickens roughly £1 each, packs of steak mince (750g) 92p etc etc so although they may be reduced later in the day there might not be any left..

    Also veg cheap too, Chestnut mushroom packs 12p, bags of carrots 12p etc etc :beer:
    :p:p Have a good [STRIKE]Tesc[/STRIKE][STRIKE]Asd[/STRIKE]WHO? day - Err....I still wish Mozzies had a better website even though they are now on MyS! :p:p :rotfl:;)
