Getting FIREd up 😀

Would this be the wrong place to mention that I've nearly finished this year's Christmas shopping then? 🤣

Well if we go by the fact that I've only got one present to buy (I only buy for one person), then I can say the same - just without having started yet 🤣!

I have got some bits for the youngest niece/nephews but not more than that.

One present... is that a big one or a token...?

I have 9 I definitely buy for - but the list is more like 20 - and some of them have birthdays very close to xmas as well.

Usually c£20. It's for a child. 

In other news....

Really???

And yes, they did go through the whole list of Groups A-H 🤦‍♀️

So, which was the nicest sandwich filling?! 

South_coast

I can't remember, there were dozens of them to choose from 🤣! I never knew there were so many different types of sandwich 🤷‍♀️?

Right, this week's (very small) money-saving/making actions were:
* 28p received in interest 🥳🥳🥳
* £1.78 cashback received on my current account
* £1.83 received from TopCashBack
* My Mum and I both needed stamps, so we went halves on a book of 4, rather than both buy more than we needed and have them sat around as unused inventory. I find the cost of stamps really offensive, 95p for first class now 😡!

This week's revelation: Inflation may have kicked my pot noodle habit for good. I can't find them for less than £1.00 now (£1.20 in Sainsbury's 😱) and I refuse to pay that much. Probably not a bad thing, in the grand scheme of things!

You could make your own quite easily. I used to like adding leftover cooked chicken, noodles, sweetcorn and peas, then just adding hot water with a bit of a stock cube. You can also add flavourings or whatever else you want.

That sounds nice QueenJess, I often make something similar, but I'm not sure it's a fair pot noodle replacement as it contains actual food 🤣
