Hi Everyone

Just updaetd my signature with a cheeky alds top up shop as I had to go to town 45 mins away for work. Seemed a shame to waste the fuel! So am topped up in fridge area which is a little wasteful as Mr T comes on sat with another £30 of stuff. Rash! No doubt all will be eaten.

I am another one who has just Googled 'Tallow' and am disgusted.


For those that use vinegar, is it any particular type, and do your clothes smell of it?

I have done this for years, I always use white distilled, when I am in the mood I add a little lavender essential oil. I never smell any vinegar on the clothes. I do the same with dishwasher rinse aid box. It works, but I have no diea why?

Spent £28.50 in A*di last night and stocked up the fridge and fruit bowl! Another £16.12 in T*sco on 3 bottles half price mouthwash, various biscuits, baked beans and bread rolls. Well stocked up now and NSD 8/20 today. Promised the kids a takeaway for a treat on Friday as DD1 received her first Uni offer this week :T. This will come out of January grocery budget so will have to be careful for rest of the month now.

We are just having sausage, egg and toast tonight (don't really want anything if truth be told but will have a bit)and will put a turkey leg and veg in sc first thing in the morning for tomorrow.

Well, I'm terrible at NSDs, but a few little shops for life's essentials (including chocolate, of course!) has put me up to a nice, round £100. My goal is to get through tomorrow without further spending, as then we'll have made it halfway through the month on £100. I can't believe it's going so well - I thought it would be a stretch, but so far we're still on track.
