Though obviously I wouldn't be selling it at full price! lol. I also have an extra foot, a walking one, I'll be selling with it and a bunch of extra reels and threads.


I love it, but as I say, no space or time and we could really use the money to boost the car repair/replacement fund.

Thank you for the link. It looks fab but I just don't get on with my newer machine in fact ive had ir less than a year and ive already broken it. Think I prefer older models lol (also shipping it to me would cost a fortune!!)
Looks like a great machine though. I'm sure it will sell quickly

Since last post we've spent £10.03. That included a 4 pack of cola for OH and a watermelon for me. So considering that not too bad as that is around £4 right there.

£113.81/£155.
£41.19 left.

Evening All

DH is officially unemployed. He signed on yesterday and took advantage of Sainsbug's "free" one hour parking in our local town centre in order to do so. Unfortunately, the job centre is still as inefficient as ever so he over-ran the hour, which mean he had to spend a minimum of £5 in store or pay for parking. I'm not a huge fan of Sainsbugs - their store layout constantly annoys me and I find them expensive. He spent £5.40 on not very much at all, including £1.50 for 600g of cooking bacon(!) and £1.20 for garlic & herb cream cheese. <sigh >

That brings my total to £99.94/£105. We have £5.06 left for the rest of the month.

£7:40 today; moisturiser, kitchen roll, and EXPENSIVE loo roll, which is my no-compromise item :-)

Dinner was HM soup and a range of YS items from the freezer!

VickyV

£3 on milk today, 2x4 pints - has to be organic and preferably local for Mr V. I swear, we should just buy a cow. That'll be 24 pints this week between 5, and I barely have any at that.
Picked up loads of reduced Lego and other bits towards Christmas (sorry) but the ys section was rubbish so only £3 to add.

£112.61/210

Hello all, first time poster here, hope am doing it right!
Am a bit late to the challenge but OH gets paid 15th of the month so we budget from 15th-15th each month.
Two adults, two kids and pregnant, last months spend came in at about 250. Know we could cut this down so aiming for 220 this month as a reasonable first goal see how that goes!

£25 today bring total so far for August to £89/£120

Merlin's_Beard

Had a really annoying week of bits and pieces, so I'm up to £76.18/100, and it's only half way through the month!

zafiro1984

12.28 spent today which puts my total to 165.66/250 for this month. In theory I should be OK as it's mainly fresh fruit and veg I will need, but it's willpower I'm lacking to stay at home and not go shopping.

Been living off stores, so only (grocery) spends since last Thursday are £1.83. That was on cabbage for coleslaw, bananas and a swede. I am going shopping tomorrow, but don't NEED much. We shall see how I do. Have updated sig.

EDIT: Oh yeah and a bottle of cider.
