Morning everyone,
Sorry I have been a bit absent recently, work gets in the way of life and I have been so busy I haven't had time to update anyone's totals but don't worry I won't abandon you all:D
As usual some fantastic totals and all updated now.
I'm nearing the £450 mark in the next couple of days and my tin is really heavy now:cool:
Take care all

Bought my first yesterday too! It was 85% off and I could not pass it up!
It would be so wonderful if I got all my shopping done early this year.Overprepare, then go with the flow.

Just had a look at my pound a day savings a/c... Looking really good at the mo... I do a standing order for £7 a week to it ... Don't even realise it goes ... May readjust that to £2 a day for the second half of 2016 as I bought a coffee the other day that cost over £3... What was that all about... I came out the shop feeling like I had been pick pocketed... That's what made me think of bumping up the pound a day pot... I'd rather do that than get robbed for a coffee... After all it's just a few beans , hot water and a bit of milk... Not exactly a Michelin star recipe. That'll teach me not to look at the price!.😏0
