You are still doing amazingly well CCW007 ,thats a really big drop ,it has taken me a long while to get down to £60.

Thank you savingholmes ,i hope you have had time to list and sell a few more

Thank you TM ..I will look in to it this week ,i have a small shop near me who are looking for someone ,i just feel slightly nervous about it but im sure i will be fine once i start

Well half way through week 14 and i have virtually spent the weeks food budget .I managed to get some brilliant bargains on the TGTG app but they will last us for meals over the next two or three weeks so i need to be very careful the rset of the week and try and survive on around ten pounds

£300 OP made today to the mortgage

MC is at £208.65.I have put £100 in to the ISA and then i will put the rest in on friday once i know the total .I am really pleased with how its all going ,ive never been so focused before 

savingholmes

Sounds like you are still doing really well on the MC. Glad Olio and TGTG is working for you.

I scored well on Olio last night - meant going out at 10pm but OH wanted to test drive his car which had played up earlier so he drove and I went in my PJs

Thank you savingholmes ,im trying to keep my self very focused

You did do well CCW007..I always go in my PJs but then i dont get out of the car my husband does

Well I've requested a couple of things on Olio - I'll let you know how I get on. 

Do you just pick up from homes - or do you get from shop and pass on?

@savingholmes volunteers (food waste heroes) collect from the shop and then list - when you request items and are allocated them, you will collect them from the FWH's home. 

Just a tip (apologies if you did this!), it's always good to include a day and time when making a request because so many people don't do that and it makes it easier to allocate to someone if they do so.  Some people feel it's demanding to say for instance "I can collect this today at 4.00pm if convenient" but it really does make life easier than having to message backwards and forwards to agree a time and day so I will prioritise those that say it in their first message.

As a fellow FWH, I couldn’t agree more!!!

Thanks all - I got free meatballs, citrus fruit and flowers yesterday so was really pleased.
