Good evening, I'm really sorry to hear that some of you are having a hard time at the moment. my thoughts are with you xx

Ok, only £8 spent since Friday and registering my 5th NSD of the month. Trying really hard to stick to my budget this month!

Had to rush to chemist to pick an emergency prescription up for mam. Hit YS time in tesco and spent £3.05p but all bargains. So not a NSD but still happy with how I'm doing this month so far.

Going to meat factory on Thursday. Need to stock up. Will be getting christmas meats too.

Awful to hear you have been flooded Dizzy it must be heart breaking. Hope you get back to normal as soon as possible.

Spent a total of £36.12 so far this month but shopping tomorrow.
Glad to say I have almost finished the present shopping just 2 more to get and a couple of gift vouchers which daughter is picking up tomorrow for me. Think we need to keep a cow or two in the garden because we are certainly getting through the stuff in recent weeks.

£14.95 in Aldeeee today - got my Christmas puds (doing two Christmas lunches a week apart as m'chap will be with his son on the 25th, so I'm reprising a smaller version at New Year - my DS is thrilled as he'll be around for both!), cheese biscuits (I'm also holding back from purchasing the actual fromage just yet, as I risk eating it all:rotfl:!) and some usual top up shopping. I'm going to do a little bit of the Christmas food shop at a time over the coming weeks, as things start to have decent use-by dates, so all I'll have to get right at the end is fresh veg. Frozen turkey will do - I've seen a nice ready prepared one in Aldeee that I might treat myself to, if I'm within budget, I know it's lazy, but it means I can spend more time with the family and less in the kitchen.:)

Ran out of milk!! Grrr!! So had to go to shop. Milk, pepsi, bread, satsumas, thins and potatoes means I left £6.70 lighter.... expensive carton of milk huh?? Lol.

Hi all,


Budgets updated to here


Shopped in Aldee yesterday for the week. Pleased that we are still within our budget and I have also picked up a couple of Christmas bits - Florentines and stollen slices.


Have Mum coming Christmas Eve/Christmas Day. She follows WW and I follow SW so I will cook salmon and new pots on C/Eve and we will have turkey and lamb on C/Day. Have ordered a suet free Christmas pud from a small local supplier and will be buying only one tub of chocs. Kids will be happy as long as there is choc and DH is more of a cheese fanatic, so he will be easy to please!


Hope all are doing well.
