Keep calm and carry on....

@South_coast I have just finished reading your diary. I was just reading about you being made redundant on the day you repaid your mortgage, I am glad you are now mortgage free.

Looking forward to following you on your continuing adventure.

Awww, thanks BB. I must have sounded very melodramatic when you already knew it turned out alright in the end 🤣!

Congratulations on making it through all that - here, have a medal🏅😀

Having a much better month on the free money this month - £1.61 to go to hit target at the moment. I'm 65 points away from £2.00 from Storewards, so with the daily bonus being 100 points I'd say that's in the bag 😀

Asda have started selling their frozen fruit salad again (they'd taken it off their website as well as off the shelves, so I thought it was gone forever), so I have been shopping for that like a woman possessed this week in case they stop again - 6kgs so far 🤣. Hopefully this will also demonstrate to them that there is lots of demand and keep them selling it 👍

They've put the price up 😥 It used to be £3 for a 1kg bag, it's now £2 for 500g 😱 

I'm still going to buy it (that's the kind of indulgence that comes with being MF 🤣) but I'm going to continue to sulk about it too!

That's a crazy price increase, but sadly it's happening across the board 😒

Wow... that's insane!

So extravagant of you - you'll get barred from MSE at this rate! 😮😂

I know, I'm all shiny bells and whistles and decadent frozen fruit purchasing these days 😀😀😀

I have to say, I've heard a few things about the cost of food going up recently, but this is the first thing I've actually noticed has changed. I'm not saying it's fake news, it's evidently just not going up on the food I buy (and I'm not blasé enough yet to not take any notice of the cost of things, I am still looking 🤣)!

I think it all depends on what you buy.  Bread & milk haven't gone up & most fruit & veg haven't because a lot of them seem to be price matching.  But anything in a jar seems to have shot up.  Some things went up a lot at the beginning of lockdown but have since come down a bit.  As for soft drinks!  Hopefully Ronaldo  has caused a reduction in the price of coke because that has shot up this year & Pogba may have done the same for Heineken.  I never thought I would say this but football players have gone up in my estimation in the last year starting with Marcus Rashford.

I bought a pint of draught soft drink in a beer garden last weekend and it was FOUR POUNDS. I'm up north as well where it's supposed to be cheaper. I'm still not over it.
