By the way - is there a knack to posting smilies as I don't seem able to work it out? Duh!

For the smilies


If you click on More at the bottom of the list and then maximise it gives you all the codes for all the smilies :dance:

Been a busy, expensive week here. Sunday we had to go hunt down a cheap car for hubby to get to work. Then my birthday Monday and today we've had the heating fixed and two new tyres for Hubby's car.

But I have managed to keep the grocery budget under control. We are currently £137.05/£310.

With another 3 NSD's in the bag I'm well happy. Off to update signature.

This is me too, its still school holidays here so not alot of computer time for Mum lol and I'm too tired at night but I have been keeping all my receipts so I'm up to date on what I'm spending - all be it too much!!!

Good evening everyone.

I have done a meal plan for the next week and then prepared my list and went to Ald*.

Total spend was £51.08. The only thing was that I didn't get any salad as there wasn't really any out, so will have to get some over the weekend.

Thank you Wicked Lady for the Marmalade Cake link, I have all the ingredients, it is going to be a certain success during my Fiscal Fast next week, as a treat!

NSD today! Updating sig.

My failed NSD continued last night, but it was all good. Spent just under £9, but it was all on YS stuff at Mr T's. More meat reduced in the 3 fo £10 range, and remembered to pick up 3 things!

I always worried with the 3 for £10 when it has YS that I will be charged £10 when because of the offer. Is this not the case?

Not been on for 3 days. Anyway, managed 2 NSD :j and one shop of £14.26 of fruit, veg, break and milk. Happy with that! :T

Morning everyone, hope you are all doing well with your targets for the month

I'm still working hard to keep a track of all spending & am not 100% where I hoped I would be at this point in the month but it could be worse :rotfl:

Aim for January is £225 & so far I am at £117.40 but still have 3 weekly food shops to go & any other little top ups of bread etc mid-week so that works out to be a weekly shop of less than £35 until the end of the month:eek: Cant see that I will achieve this but will keep everything crossed :j

Not doing too well on my NSD's but on a positive note I have managed to buy some concert tickets with last months savings on my food & bills budget...so much nicer spending money on fun things rather than food so will definitely be trying to keep up the good work :beer:

Feeling too rubbish to shop or cook. I'm having a home delivery today which will take me over budget. Includes lots and lots of cold related pharmacy things!

I will update my sig after it arrives. Won't be too far over budget and TBH just happy to not have to leave the house. Probably a bad shopping decision as I'll be getting things that seemed like a good idea when exausted at ten pm just before the ordering cut off.
