    Morning all :)
    Just been out and spent £100 on groceries :eek:
    It's got to the point where I'm so busy at work a glitchy pre planned shop isn't possible so had to bite the bullet and grab normal shopping.
    I did say to DH we've saved enough in the last year that I can take a few days off money saving (well not off, just not stressing!)
    Historic Debt August 2009 = £63,600 10th March 2017 = £0 100% paid all gone!
    Mortgage started June 2015 = £170,000 January 2022 = £134,000
    Saving for Xmas 2022= . . Amazon £55

    Good morning.

    Off to collect my denby sets shortly - hopefully it will be too early for the crowds to have gotten there.

    Have a lovely day all.

    How many people will have had the same idea ... Go in early to avoid the crowds, thus busy earlier and quieter late :).

    Nope, likely to be a crazy day shopping with people buying food as though the world is going to end :eek:. Perspective people - most shops are closed for one day only.

    Am I the only one to struggle when muggle shopping ... I still end up checking MSM and generally batch my shop against competitors if a chance of a comparison. You know you are losing it when you scan items like 10p noodles (now 20p - how is that for price inflation this year?) to ensure the best match :o.

    Robert Dyas (a Q bonus) declined cashback! :mad:

    But the paypal part of it is still tracked..... might have to add a couple more small shops to this, think i'm down to 14 now.

    ... and another thing, I wish I hadn't started chasing this one as now feel commited to completing it and will be annoyed if any of them are now declined and I don't get the bonus :o.

    I have completed on my account but now need a few more items on Mrs Anon's account.
