  • Hello everyone - I've not posted on this thread before so hope I'm not butting in.

    I'm really proud of myself because I got my weekly shop today and only spent £16.85 (a bit of a storecupboard challenge going on).

    I also had to buy glucose tablets for my OH who is a Type 1 diabetic (if he gets hypos when he's out they're the only thing for it apparently) and they were 3 for 2 at Superdrug! Hooray!!! 18 packs for £6.60.

    Reading all your posts is such an inspiration - we're about to lose my income as I'm leaving work on Monday because of ill health (and I don't think I'm going to get any benefits as I haven't paid enough NI) and being OS is the only way to keep out of debt.

    ofcourse not julia welcome aboard :hello: and well done on your low spends with shopping :) sorry to hear you are ill but i hope you can keep up with the old style :D

    Thankfully today is a NSD, but I went out for dinner on Tuesday & spent £15 and have been popping into Tesco far too often and spent about £10 so I am determined not to spend anything today (plus weather is bad, so I'll stay in on sofa & watch tv)
    On the positive side I have checked everything in cupboards so I can meal plan from them rather than buy any more food!!

    I want to wear my beautiful wedding dress everyday- it would make shopping so much more fun, I mean, people go shopping in their pyjamas these days.......
    Must STOP spending!!! :)
    Proud to be dealing with my debts!

    Took a day off and went shoping for some clothes for my forthcoming holiday (September). Can't find anything that fits :( , so just spent £10 on 3 pairs of knickers - well I couldn't come home with nothing, could I? Bit worried about what else I'm going to be wearing on holiday though....
