    Thanks WB. Think home is always the best place to be at times like this. Love and TLC can make a massive difference. x

    HG - I wrote that before adding another £5 so I've actually got enough for 3 x 99's now and possibly an extra flake T:T x

    Cumbria - we obviously have a glut of good butchers :D I've a brilliant one near me. Lord of the manor has an excellent reputation and if I remember rightly it's been on TV. There's also a farm shop on the other side of town although no idea what that's like. x

    Thank you everybody. It's nice to have some behind the scenes support - it's really appreciated.

    Day 2/28, 1/15 NSD's, Prolific £5.41 cleared, £1.67p pending, Cash £17.75 for 1st-7th Feb

    There's been a little bit of spending today, a book for myself which cost £3 and then £3.50 on the little one. The rest of the spends were household so came out of the joint account.

    A short and sweet post today but want to keep on track so worth doing. Hope you've all enjoyed your day. xx
  • Hello stranger, after 13 days I'm back online. It's been stressful but I'm hoping will be worth it in long run. Had a quick catch up and you're doing amazingly well. Keep up the nsd!

    Love choccy x

    Lovely to see you posting again CG, I've missed my Receipt Hog/colouring chart buddy :) When you're up to it have a look at Shoppix as well which Homegrown recommended.

    I think from memory you hit your days target didn't you. :T so assuming all went well. Wishing you lots of luck with everything that's ahead of you.

    I will PM you in a couple of days when things have settled down. Onwards and upwards now. :) xx

    Very cold here again today. I still went to church but made sure I was well wrapped up. Hubby had a clear out of his change pot and handed me some silver so I split it between the caravan and theatre pots which means they both have an extra £1 in them. There was a little bit extra, less than £1 and that went into my purse. ;)

    Just checked Receipt Hog and Shoppix and I have 605/1000 on RH and 1310/3200 on Shoppix. I'm glad these were pointed out to me because for the sake of taking a quick photo of my receipts it's definitely worth doing. I don't spend loads either, so I'm quite pleased with how the points are mounting up.

    Hope you've all had a good Sunday. xx
