    Good morning all, cloudy day but the sun is trying to break through.

    Netted off my redcurrants and gooseberries over the weekend, else they are likely to disappear as soon as they ripen :eek: There is also a lot of flowers on my strawberries, along with some very tiny strawberries :D

    Thinking of you and your sister Snap, hope everything goes well xx

    Good morning all....

    Best wishes being sent today to Snap and her sister and
    to the TM''s....on a speedy recovery from the weekends biking.

    Quick update on the toiletries....and it didnt feel a good week 2 out ....one was a full sized hydrating spray and the other a one use sachet of body lotion.
    On the In front there were 5 .....3 free sachets from fresh and a full sized body lotion and perfume that were a competition win.
    I'm starting to feel as if there is certainly more arriving than leaving,although the upside is I'm still not actually paying any substantial money out on purchasing anything.

    I'm toying with the idea of reintroducing frugal months,I need to shop today for a few bits with an APG so this will be the first groceries of the month and there is quite a bit in the freezer which could do with rotating....

    Have a lovely 4 day week all those who are working and hopefully a little sunshine for us all to enjoy.
    frugal October...£41.82 of £40 food shopping spend for the 2 of us!

    2017 toiletries challenge 179 out 145 in ...£18.64 spend

    Happy hols Mrs Mac!

    Snap, thinking of you.

    Don't really feel much like doing a frugal month, the need for record-keeping usually gets me irritated as I shop mostly in tiddly bits to and from work, and inevitably receipts get dumped in the dashboard to be listed later, which means they are in danger of being forgotten. But I will give it a go.

    I think I will call it Meanie May. :D

    Already I have wasted £1 - grabbed some KitKats at T yesterday but it turns out I picked up a pack of Mocha and I don't like coffee, so I will have to give them away.

    Seren have you tried the mocha KitKats? It's just that I do NOT like coffee, but I will sometimes eat a mocha cake! I would guess that it would only be a teeny tiny amount of coffee flavour to it.

    Just bumping this up as the Best mag with free Greggs should be about now.

    Also from the very nice people on Fb savvy deals an offer in Iceland
    "Buy a pack of 4 Greggs Sausage Rolls or Cheese and Onion rolls from Iceland for £1.60 or 2 for £2.50 and get a voucher for a FREE coffee from Greggs!
    Some discussion as to wether you get one voucher or 2
    Don't forget to use your Iceland card and love2shop vouchers if you have them

    So a Greggs salad and coffee for the cost of a £1.60 pack of sausage rolls plus a magazine - not too bad

    Greggs coffee is really nice

    :eek: Limited time. Gotta run down station & buy a plus bus train ticket to get home from hospital this evening. As other sister (who driving) is having to go to Gobowen hospital for her own appt at 3pm so I've spent hours sorting out bus times to station & trains home

    It is going to be a very long day :)

    Thank You for bless wishes ♥
