    It is lovely to hear his good news... I do think a change in name is more than appropriate x


    I do know what his wife means about the stash.......... I went into the loft today looking for sultans and was a little :eek::eek::eek: as it is OH who takes stuff up there... not too sure much actually comes back down stairs! Frugal January it is £100 for the 4 of us x

    I might do frugal feb:o but do apg's etc count or just cash?

    Afternoon all

    Twice I stopped OH in his tracks, firstly he wanted to go to Morribibs for cheese and bacon toasties but instead I put part bake rolls in the oven and OH did the bacon - bought on Friday but not used while we had visitors - so that saved £7.50 :D
    Then he wanted to go into town but I reminded him that it was Sunday and our little town would be even deader and more shut than ever
    But then he asked what we were doing for dinner and then I remembered I had no stick chips so I've had to send him to the Spa - so an epic fail on the first NSD of the year :(

    He might yet just come back with just stick chips but its unlikely ...

    So determined not to venture out today I am still in my PJs and dressing gown :D but I've been doing a mass delete of the email inbox, not done for months, 102K emails in the deleted box ready to press the final delete so the main computer will probably go into melt down :D

    I always consider them as cash but only for the difference.

    i.e. APG for £10, which is spent but gives an APG for £9.50 counts as 50p.
