Didn't manage to get back on yesterday afternoon but have updated signature. I spent just over £32 yesterday and am now at £64.98/£250. Another NSD today so now have 8 of the 20 I'm aiming for this month.

As usual any money left at the end of the month will be going towards my holiday spending money next month.

Another 7.03 spent tonight at Mr s on milk and squash. Also topped up on cake cases. Then bought myself treats to munch.... oh dear.

Evening all and a warm welcome to more new peoples :hello:
My order from Mr T was £24.10 so spent just over half my budget so far. Fingers xd I'll make it.


We had a roast lamb dinner tonight as DH not here for dinner on Sunday due to his working hours this week.


freezer update :
I didn't get a call so called them. They said they would check with the distribution people and phone me back. It seems that they have 'lost' my order :eek: and it now won't arrive until Wednesday :mad:

Hope you all have a super Saturday

Oh shame about the freezer Lynne. I have picked mine up and shall spend my break today scrubbing it out and getting it set up. Then I can defrost the current freezer, and maybe rescue the packets of stew in the top draw that have jammed the drawer shut.

I spent £10.99 yesterday, to include some mince pies that I am *testing*. Could not find the offer on the tins at my Mr M's, but maybe that's because it is quite a small one. Oh well.

Well its only the 14th and we have spent well over half our budget. Will have words with OH this weekend. Im trying to limit the spend to £40 in Morries so that we get the christmas bonus points. I did my spend on monday then OH spent another 30 on thurs! We had a lovely shepherds pie on tuesday which lasted me till Thurs. Kids refused to eat it two nights running so helped themselves to freezer medley. Then Thurs had a home made chinese banquet which did lunch and tea for Friday night. Having OH parents over for chippy tea tonight so no more cooking till tomorrow night.

Shopped at Mr T today as I went there to us my vouchers to double up on some Christmas gifts.

My total is £226 now which I am really pleased with as I have 2 weekly shops to do but one will be small at the end of the month as I am away with work all the following week. The first one will be bigger as I am off work for a week and will batch cook some meals for the freezer and may need some meat.

Really proud of DH (he doesn't cook) who made some turkey mince, dodgy veg and storecupboard ingredients into a curry type dish with limited email instructions from me:)

Tonights dinner was YS GF herb flat bread with grated mozzarella from the freezer, a pasta dish I am recreating of one I made with dodgy veg and half a chorizo but this had added some bacon from M&S that wasn't very nice.

£44.32 spent on an online shop from Mr A for my daughter at uni. She didn't need much between now and breaking up for Christmas, so I treated her and her flatmates to some cider and mince pies! Having a rough month financially (blooming car!), so will be aiming closer to £200 again this month if I possibly can. House is well stocked at present, so hopefully will only need bread/milk/juice top ups.

I don't think I've posted at all this month. I honestly can't remember

Big shop from Asda - 74.69
Top up from Morrisons - 8.49
Top up from Home Bargains - 3.86
Another big shop from Asda - 40.32
Convenience shop from local shop - 3.50

I'm about to do an order for Asda as we're almost out of bread, milk, fruit & veg. Think we're doing reasonably well at the moment. Just hope it stays that way!

Hope everyone else is doing ok.
