Well that was a disastrous shop. Thats what you get for having no internet for a week (was away last week). Went to M's as I saw buy 6 bottles of wine get 25% off and also the spend £40 for two consecutive weeks get £10 off your third shop. Asked someone near the wine if the 25% off wine offer was on as couldnt see any signs and he says no that was last week. So anyway, did £40 of muggle shop. When I pay for it the lady asks me if Im collecting the bonus vouchers. Oh yes says I. She says dont forget to bring it next week with weeks 1 voucher. And Im like oh cant I get week 2 next week and she says no you had to get week 1 last week and week 2 this week.
So now I have a useless week 2 voucher here. Any kind soul got a week 1 floating about or else will recycle.

Was going to try for Belvita tomorrow if it still seemed to be working, but a lordy driver has managed to fetch down one of the overhead lines we installed. Very strange, it was installed high enough and it is not the cable that has gone, that was fastened to catenary wire. Somehow they managed to snap the pole :eek::eek::eek:

Now I will have no chance till Wednesday.

On top of that I had an email from the BBC shop saying they are investigating whether my order was affected by yesterday's technical problems so looks like that will not happen now. Still, you win some, you lose some, onward and upward.

I came from a very poor background, both parents came across to the Uk in the late 1940s and early 1950s with nothing whatsoever, they both had menial jobs but where very hard workers. They bought there first house in 1956 , always had a mortgage and never lived in rented accommodation, they spent nothing whatsoever on themselves but we always had a holiday, chalets in North Wales but it was a holiday.
They could not afford to keep me in college so I was working at 16 and I had my first mortgage at 19 so I've been shackled with mortgages, bank loans and credit card debts over the last 30 years or so whilst at the same time caring for elderly grandparents, parents and offspring and finally we are out the other side.
But even so when you come from this background being extra careful with money never leaves you.
Yes we now have an expensive holiday habit now that all offspring have flown the nest, this is Tescos fault :rotfl:
But even then we get the best deal possible. The kids went on every school trip and excursion possible so family holidays were things like holiday cottages, only once went abroad as a family
And yes we finally have savings but it's taken a very long time to get them. Circumstances meant I did not work when the kids were little so we had one wage coming in and our income was always slightly too much to ever get benefits. Were we live we had to run 2 cars so we did make things hard for ourselves but the kids have not suffered, quite the opposite I fact.
We had very little support from either set of parents, child care was not there thing and no financial support but we got through it all under our own steam.
So I will always be poor in my head, looking for the best deals, charity shop hunting, using MOCs and cashback, using up leftovers etc - that habit will never leave me.
Savings now enable us to make radical decision which will affect whatever is ahead of us.
For instance my car died last November after 10 years of faithful service so we started looking around for a replacement for me. But then it made sense to also think of OHs car which was younger than mine but it would have also needed work over the next few years and might have started to also cost serious money.
So we took the decision to trade in both cars and downsize to just one between us, getting a better quality car while they still made the car we like driving - so we got a very late model which was very high spec, this car is now out of production. The new car was paid for straight out of savings.
So now we only pay £135 road tax instead of two lots of £300 odd plus MOT and servicing on 2 cars and the new car does 45 mpg and more on long runs so we only fill up once or twice a month so petrol costs have plummeted as well.
Prior to the days when we had savings I have no idea how we would have coped with this situation.
The other thing is that when you are in the middle of the striving years it seems never ending, one crisis after another after another, if its not work problems, it's the kids or aged relatives or car problems or house problems but finally it does get better you just have to hang on in by the skin of your teeth, it just takes an awful long time.

Good Afternoon

Think my money problems started just before I had my DS but I wouldn't be without him he is my baby and always will be.
I used to work full time in a good job and wanted to start a hour later at 9am so I could leave DS with mum and dad when my maternity pay finished. The place I worked for said 8am start or nothing seeing I don't drive this was impossible at the time.

Ex was jealous when we had DS and that's when the drinking lying etc started on his side. I did go back to work eventually part time / full time but never had any money because he spent it.

Best thing I ever did was get rid ex. Paid off all the arrears he left me in even though I thought they being paid. My son did me proud and ended up going to Uni first in the tweets family to do so.

I have since found out who my friends are and they not the friends I had when married they all sided on his side more fools them.

I am now happy having no real life friends don't need them. But loads lovely friends on the internet some more :A than others most I met on here and think of the Elite as my family.

That's my afternoon ramble sorry.
