Wow Naomin your going great on the savings. I did start watering down the washing up liquid and chopping dishwasher tablets in two but have let things slide lately. Time to rethink the penny pinching methinks

Ah see, this is things I wont do! I tried Ald! washing up liquid but found I needed twice as much so went back to Fairy. Also tried cheap dishwasher tabs but found they didn't always dissolve. It's all trial and error.0

I have spent a happy Saturday reading your thread, well done for sticking at it.I really must pull myself together, so am considering if a thread of my own will make me feel more accountable, or if it will be another good intention I don’t follow through 😖Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien
