    It is still on, might give this a try tomorrow if I get the time to go shopping, would bring the APG down if mixed with 3 blue top fizz.

    It's not advertised anywhere is it?

    Have you tried this Prosecco?

    I have an on line APG to use ...do we reckon it will work?

    you need to do a spending diary to keep track of your daily spends - it could be just a note book but an excel chart is easier.
    I did one earlier this year and it takes at least 4 months to see patterns - this allows for holidays, bank holidays, weekends away, birthday weekends, visitors staying for weekends, glitch shopping, twine shops etc
    I put the categories across the top line and the months dates down the side. the categories I used
    food
    cat/bird food
    drink (alchol)
    house/garden
    misc (chocs, sweets, crisps)
    stamps
    petrol/parking
    days out
    eating out
    clothing

    the last 3 where the ones I had to spend as little as possible on
    it was quite a revelation to see the true figures of what we spend

    Holly hell......that is so organised.......... I just put £100 in my purse and only bought what we really need!

    Just thinking about this

    food (out of the £100)
    cat/bird food - n/a
    drink (alchol) - drink what is in the cupboard or water
    house/garden - not buying anything unless free
    misc (chocs, sweets, crisps) - not buying anything unless free
    stamps - e-mail
    petrol/parking - bill work
    days out - walks
    eating out - picnics
    clothing - wear what is in the wardrobe!
