Yes, but not as nice as the tecsos one (IMO)Have you ever had the lidl one? I've seen lots of people mention it previously, and it's usually very good value.
Ooo, wheres that from, might have to try it......Edit: :eek: @ the price!!!lookinforabargain wrote: »Botegga Gold. Pricier than your T's Bisol and Lidl's but so, so lovely :beer:“Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?”

My other categories would only be
a) petrol and
b) discretionary spends like holidays/gifts/clothing/leisure and entertainment.
I think a 'Discretionary December' account would be fun to read, not to be frugal but just to see what actually gets spent on the higher-end range of things. (Well, it would be fun for me to read, as I don't have the funds to do that much discretionary spending, so it would be interesting to see what I'm missing!)
Is anyone else checking emails at 2 minute intervals for Bella? :rotfl:
Yes, I did. Responded within a couple of minutes but all gone. Am I wrong as won't be here then but could've passed on to hippychicky

I got the same one as had a £15 voucher, not being ungrateful but would have preferred a £10 one so that I could've got one of these

and paid £2.50.
That one isn't giving me the discount online, does it work intstore I wonder?...those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

No money spent today :T Dinner was fish fingers from the freezer, mash from the last remaining spuds and broccoli from a womble shop yesterday. Tomorrow I'll be in the vicinity of an Aldi so will have a little mooch in there I think. I never seem to do very well with whoopsies so wombles will probably be how I get through this, meaning I will have to shop little and often. Luckily A is within walking distance.
Saturday could be tricky. Every other week or so we have a takeaway with DH's parents and watch a DVD with them. We didn't have one last week so should do this week. Fish and chips is probably the cheapest option but still a big chunk of cash.
We usually have a weekly takeaway
:eek: And you are right HG they will add a significant cost to our October budgets.
I don't think there will be enough in mine this month as a big chunk of cash will go when we get our next fruit and veg box no way would Mr TS go without for the whole month. I'm hoping as we had one arrive last Friday we won't need one this week. 0 -
