Morning all


AJ and tweets Hope you are better today


I have no idea what I posted about holiday date but I still have two weeks to go


I can get mullers tomorrow that will still be in date when I get back and I will just buy in 12's


Tomorrow I start collating what I can put into the Halloween hamper for work that was free or almost free plus I have a "budget" of £10.00 to add. I have Sobe and up and go breakfast drinks, mullers, noodles from when we got extra T points Sadly I don't think the hipp pouches are an option


Lots to do today some beauty treatments, some shopping and cooking but the best bit will be visit by CG


Enjoy whatever you do

Good morning everyone. Hope you all have a nice restful Saturday

I'd just get it, Di, and put the total down as November's spend, but allocate the cost of anything you eat from it in October, into the October total.

Good morning.
I have a dilemma,only a very small one to do with frocking!
Dh is on holiday now for a week and we were talking last night about days out we are going to have. On Wednesday we are going to Kirkby lonsdale and Kendal with Dd (Sunflower are you in work on Wednesday I'll pop in and say a quick hi if you are)
Anyway I used to own a deli and I still get meat from one of my old suppliers but it's a bit of a trek so dh says why don't you order some meat and we'll make a day of it . You see my problem I do a massive order of quarterpounders, beef stew, lamb etc so it will be a fortune.
I don't want to miss the opportunity because I would rather dh drive there but it will knock my total completely.
I think I may do the order but not include it in my total as it isn't meat for now iykwim, maybe I'll add the amount of say a pound of stew if I use it.
I have used so much out of my cupboards and freezer and sent loads of things to Dd too. I did laugh to myself the other day at her house when I opened the cupboards they are like replicas of mine with rows of passata, tinned tomatoes and she had a list of meals planned stuck to the fridge, I'm so glad she's cooking fresh rather than all junk food.
Now to write the list for the butchers.

I agree with you excluding the meat costs but you cant miss a good opportunity I only finished early as we are having visitors and I am sure the leftovers will feed us next week Well that and free fish


I am going to try again and clear some space by keeping a budget Previously I had so many "fillers" in the cupboard they never cleared but it is very comforting I do love good stash

I am impressed with anyone that is managing to keep track of their spending let alone managing to keep to the limit set. I have not even tried as I am not organised or disciplined enough with too many variables with Little Anons and half term.

My understanding of the rules from the International Frocking Federation (IFF) is it covers normal spend, not unexpected/ emergencies. Personally, I would press on without a second thought and be proud I made it to 22nd, or keep a separate tally and record that as an emergency spend and see if I still managed to keep within budget apart from the unexpected.

that is an even better way - IFF would approve due to the extra thought put in .

Morning paw sniffers:D

I will be joining in with the yoghurt shoppers today at some point but first I need to do housework.

There was a big dead spider behind the settee when Mr TM went away last week and it's still there. I think he put it there on purpose to see if I hoovered.
Housework 😫 this morning and then out for some fun this afternoon:)
cjj....are you moving jobs?

mrsmac....think I started the holiday rumours by misreading your post. I think you said that you go away 2 weeks today and I thought you meant 2 weeks from today:o:) It will soon be here:)

Di ......go for it....you will kick yourself if you miss such a great opportunity:)

Good Morning :wave:

Don't feel as achy but nose still running and I am sneezing.

Wanted the sneezing to have stopped because mum tells me off for sneezing in her flat even though I cover my mouth

Will have to somehow try and get in the bathroom when I feel a sneeze coming :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Thinks its impossible but hi ho I got to try lol :cool:.

Makes me mad because mum sneezes and coughs and never covers her nose grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
