    Hello all :wave:

    Big thank you to all that posted things for mr w. I had some conditional spends £11 of £110 spend, thought I wouldn't use but went for it today after very planned shop and crossed fingers.
    But this is what I got

    3x small chickens (pyo)
    3x waitrose frying steak (pyo)
    3x minced beef (pyo)
    3x diced beef (pyo)
    1x £15 meal deal with chicken ( pyo)
    4x fairy gel (pyo)
    2x comfort (pyo)
    1x newspaper
    1x waitrose magazine
    5x up & go

    Plus I had about £5 of stuff that I needed

    Total £119.??

    Less £11, less 5x £1.79, less multi, less 20% pyo

    Total to pay £46. Few pence

    I think this was a good shop, really pleased.
    Got enough meat to last us fair while, we not big meat eaters.
    Well done:T:T

    A few weeks ago I sat outside a coffee shop in Durham, having a coffee and a 'fag'
    As a 'tidy' smoker I looked for an ashtray which lead me into conversation with the gentleman next to me.. he talked about politics and then tried to give me a pstry, 'still in the bag 'cos his family had given it to him' .. 10 mins later I walked up the street and there he wa, homeless? begging? I do believe in helping people who ar homeless etc, but things like this make me question what to do.
    It's really difficult I know. A couple of years ago EmmaP posted some very wise words when she was talking about donating to food banks. She talked about not judging, just giving, and hoping that what you give ends up where it's needed most.
