    OK...so I've been shopping....its a killer these small shops,that's clearly where the money goes!

    Dispite me telling everyone that we were going to have fishcakes for tea,I found some reduced stir fry,noodles and spinach....
    so add to that bread,milk and a pack of 4 scones....I came away having spent £4.45...
    normally I'd be quite pleased with that but when I'm actually watching the running total at the bottom of my posts it puts a new meaning on it all....
    The next shop will have to be an A one simply because I have about £6 of wombled APG's...so no more physical cash spending this week.
    frugal October...£41.82 of £40 food shopping spend for the 2 of us!

    Well done Arthien....at least you will be fed next monday!

    We went the first week and it was very nice....the bill came to around £58. before they took the discount off meaning we only paid for drinks...

    hope mhoc and Tiny get their emails soon so they can book.

    Hi Neosi if you are lurking. I still use your link to watch the space station when possible. Two chances this evening if clear.

    Text neosi this morning and he replied saying he was glad his link was still working and thanks for using it.

    Already need to add to it. :eek: Spent £2 on a card for DD2. :A

    But I was good and didn't buy some single duvet sets for £2.50. :)

    Will upload a pic when my phone has charged...

    Normally I wouldn't have batted an eyelid for that price and picked them up. :o

    That's odd when you used to add a signature it showed on all your previous posts too but now it only shows on the ones I have posted since I added my sig. :eek:
