    Just catching up I'm in this group to but have also got my Dd so have some extra kids channels had them before ex left and didn't want to deprive her of her fav programmes also occasionally use cc for emergency stuff
    As for unemployed I always say look at your own lifestyle and how would you cope if your earnings suddenly dropped to £71 per adult and approx £60 per kid a week with no stashes

    Not nice is it but this thread helps you to cope.

    I still have to pluck up courage to get DTD on meat i stand there looking but never tried. :o

    I love you too tweets..,

    I use my Santander card for treats and bargains as it's zero percent on purchases. I used it today for 150 pounds of 3v cards.


    I used to pay with my tesco cc and pay balance in full.


    I also have Virgin TV. But I don t smoke or gamble much.


    Expecting to save quite a bit this year such as reduced mortgage payments, water meter, saving on service charge so prepared to borrow if free.


    Honestly I hate working but when your on benefits people poke there nose in your business, you get bored and you never know when the money will be cut.




    More hassle than its worth..


    What's a Santander card please ?

    I bank with Santander and got a current account.

    When i asked about a water meter i got told it would cost me £10 a month more so i said i wouldn't bother .

    I like my job and the kitchen i am in now.
    Trouble is i could get transferred without notice to an awful kitchen and cant do a thing about it.

    but that's why fergie left. he knew his players were getting old and passed it.
    I don't know if you look at the likes of Wellbeck, Smallings, Jones, Januzaj, Cleverley & even De Gea, on there own maybe not major stars but addin RVP, Rooney. Fletcher & Vidic they shine amongst the best in the world. I think it's all about motivation under the right manager. It's like being at school Fergie was the strict but fun teacher so you behaved well & done good, where as Moyes is the substitute teacher & you act like a little brat & mess about
    If only batman was here, he'd soon get you told

    Watching the Liverpool 96 game on BT who have said that Man Ure have just announced that Moyes will know his fate in the next 24 hours.

    this has got to be wrong tweets, if its only you and poppy. I changed to a meter with 2 teenage girls in the house, they were careful with water as well. it still cost me less. mega saving now its only dw and myself with 2 dogs.

    I have a 123 cashback card with 18 months free purchases. If you have a 123 current account they waive the fee for a year plus i went through topcashback.


    As for the water, not sure who told you it would cost more... It depends on how many people and rooms you have and how much you want not to pay...

    I have a dual flush loo. I also have a timer for the shower and the flow has been reduced. i also bought a joey can to save the shower water.

    There are two of us in a one bedroom flat..

    As i was diagnosed with stress from work and put on anti depressants i vowed to have more fun and not to put up with Sh@t.

    so this year i have one holiday booked for majorca, one for pontins and 3 day ticket for wireless festival.

    haven't quit work but you only get one life...

    3 zinfandel comparing at £15 not the £12 showing on msm

    Ooo... wondering if the 500g:D fresh spaghetti is comparing in error against the tins in M at 16p? Not that it matters that much:rotfl: - although it has prompted me: it is high-time I did a Tvs M list as I know people have problems there (as do I, getting T to compare to M:(). I might wait and see what's on this week after the M price change, when doubtless the spaghetti will be gone:mad::mad:(:rotfl:).
