@cathybird it is what I feared, I would have enough now to do the work I need doing to the Kitchen and finish off the bathroom £1699.82 From January this year. I am leaving the game cold turkey. As of right now I am not playing it. I am going to look for a cross stitch that I can do, also it will mean not using the computer so much. I have a cupboard to put together this weekend and some shopping to do. I have a book on the go and I may as well help mother dearest out with her garage. EAK! Just had a row with mum so I guess I am not going to be helping md out at the weekend.

Can’t read this and not say anything! You deserve great credit for taking decisive action on this, I hope you find a lovely cross stitch you can enjoy, taking pride in the results,  and not go back to this game. I hope you can look forward not back, to saving money from not spending on this game. Wishing you loads of luck. There must be more discussions in different parts of this forum where crafters get together?

You’re very welcome and we are all human. Have you looked all round the different forums here? There’s discussions from people about ‘old style’ money saving that might be interesting to you.

Thanks @MrsCautious I did just spot the area, it looks interesting, although I don't think I am up for the supermarket challenge! Thank you.

Ah is that where you spend a really low amount on groceries? My addiction to Curly Wurlys among other things rules it out for me!

Me too, I am a big foodie, so wanting to spend the bare minimal would mean not eating so much, and I am big, I do cut down where I can.

@HotDog2020.  You could have a wee look round the charity shops for cross stitches

@HotDog2020 I agree with Mrs Cautious, great move, it just sounds like one of those games that tries in all sorts of ways to get people to part with their money, so well done you for stepping away from it. Also the SW meals sound like a really good buy if they are filling, tasty and low on syns too. The cross-stitch sounds quite fun, you could make some really lovely things xx
