    Another generous offer of food from tonight's event host. Enormous double portion of the main course. So very kind. That will do for our dinner tomorrow. Claiming £15 based on overall ticket cost.

    opps haven't been keeping up with this thread! Have lost count a bit of wombling as have had a lot going on. My mil looked after lo twice so that is £70 (I think I might have posted about one...)

    I got £3.04 from ys french sticks, 2 packs at 29p each and & 2 packs of 4 muffins they were down to 19p from £1 :)

    yesterday I used the last £4 on a gift card I had getting line for the garden and more seeds and picked up a rosemary plant in need of a good watering for 50p £2 off :)

    Today friends came round for roast and I asked her to bring some fresh coffee (as I'd just run out) so we could have some after dinner and she gave me a pack £2 and she brought a bottle of wine that we only had a couple of glasses out of so I'm left with 1/2 a bottle - say £3?
