It's a shame it's march I could have done snowmen a few months backHistoric 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

Going well so far with my cakes.
First 12 came out fine and it's gone downhill from there (the kids won't moan, they get to eat the disasters!)
I've got blue, black, white and green fondant icing and some brown chocolate icing, just trying to work out what I can make from them.
Something as easy as ladybirds would be a start

I am still in the Marks premium club (Ive got a Marks credit card but no current account) which has been £15 per month for years but today we got a mailing which says from April 17th the fee is going up to £20 a month :mad:
we do though have the option of either cancelling altogether or of taking the worldwide family travel insurance element off which would bring the fee down to £10 a month - retaining all of the benefits of being in the Marks Premium club except for the travel insurance.
Removing the travel insurance part is possible I suppose if you don't travel at all, and/or don't go beyond Europe or if you only do one trip a year so need only one off insurance.
Also I suppose this is an option for anyone having travel insurance anyway as part of their current account package with a monthly fee eg Halifax current account or the Nationwide one (don't know if its a worldwide family insurance though?)
The Premium club send me each year
48 hot drink vouchers worth £2.65 each = £127.20
a birthday afternoon tea voucher = £10 or £11
£10 or £15 vouchers for various departments through the year = £60
plus family and friend discount vouchers worth 20% off and other discounts and extra points vouchers throughout the year.
so these alone are more than the £10 a month and if you do quite a bit of marks shopping and use the discount codes they send then you more than cover the £20 a month cost.“Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove. Every day will allow you, --will invite you to add something to the pleasure of others, --or to diminish something of their pains.”0 -

Good morning, what's the deal with the toilet rolls please.
£10 month for hot drinks at work is outrageous! They tried this with my OH. He now just beings in the tea and coffee for the office to use, costs a lot less than £10
Just a good comparison, maybe they are comparing to inferior ones at Tesco, not sure. It's these ones

I think it was bubbs who picked up the [STRIKE]wrong colour shades[/STRIKE] wrong radox and posted M comp
It's on now (signed out) 7 on msm and 7 on A com.
I have an idea for your hot drinks situation
Thanks, I'm not going to take a flask though because then it looks like I'm being awkward (well I am I suppose) I'll just drink water at work and use the excuse that milk bloats me and I'm trying to be healthier

It could possibly be my second account if that sort of thing wasn't banned under fb t&c's :whistle: and I wouldn't have been lying when I said it was my favouriteThere comes a time in every woman's life when the only thing that helps is a glass of champagne ... Bette Davis0 -
Oh no they are saying it is a discontinued product. :eek:
I only bought some yesterday. :think:0 -
Also in the post this morning 2 vouchers from Chicago Town pizza from a twitter win earlier in the week - I really need to make a chart -
These came by signed for post - no idea why, only about £6 in value - they could have sent me an extra voucher if they had used normal 1st class post
one is for the new doughballs which are £2 in both Asda and Tesco so these will be good for sada v !!!!!! shops.
The other is for the takeaway pizza - it says on it the new medium sized but I thought there was just one size - can anyone confirm this?
looking on mysupermarket its showing as £4 in !!!!!! and less in Sada so this would be good for the shop list I started on Wednesday - I was even less convinced about mys prices then.
The odd thing is the MOC is for £2.99 which is about right but why is the Tesco price so out of line?
This shopping list was a 2 curry/2 flatbread curryshop plus 4 cashback items shop plus covent garden and un bongo.
But since then I got conditional spends for a £20 and £30 shop - I could possibly get to the £20 easily enough - maybe the £30 one if I could find cat food that Asda does not sell.
so far I have
£6 cond spend
£3 cond spend
£2.99 chiciago town MOC
£1 covent garden
£9.odd last weeks TPP
Sadly un bongo sees to have gone up as have the popchips on Shopotize
so it all looks good - just going to re check the list now - has anyone got any suggestions.“Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove.
