    Just give him a tap on the head and if he sounds tough and hollow then he's dried out and ready to pop his balloon, if he sounds dull then leave him a little longer to toughen up his 'shell' ROFL

    just wondering why you thank every post? LOL im so nosey hahahaha
    How are you?

    Hi Mumzy.
    I am well - another long day at work for me today. I work in a callcentre (inbound not outbound calling) and I get to talk to about 120 people per day. Unfortunately, only about business, not what Id like to talk about!

    I click the 'thanks' button so I know where Ive read up to. Otherwise Im on the wrong page and then I dont have time to read all posts before having to go out.

    Also, everyone here is so lovely I just HAVE to thank them!!

    LG

    quote=mumzyof2;7299539]IRISH does your shopping budget include trips to local shop for bread milk etc[/quote]


    Yes it includes everything. I keep a record of everything I spend from food budget on Spending Diary which helps and of course the meal plans have stopped food waste. I found it so easy to cut spending but I have no children so its easy to feed the two of us.

    I'm stopping counting how much I put into my sealed tin, too much temptation knowing how much is in there.

    I bought a sealed savings tin from asda the other day, for £1. Holds £100 of £1 coins :T

    My OH isn't keen on it, I think it's because he can't dip in to it ;) :rotfl:

    If anyone is wishing for a last minute Christmas bargain as a gift then spread the word... I found this sale at what looks like terramundi wonderland at http://www.gifts-2-go.co.uk/ They have the special offer on the front page right now :) I'm not buying one, but someone here might want to grab some last minute bargains. :D

    My sealed pot challenge is going well. I even put a five pound note in the the other week, and weekly £5 from money I make from umpiring netball games. At this rate I should make my aim of £500.
