Just tried this - still nothing but justice league came up.

Hubby bank card, no house number, his details, new gmail, number from free sim not used before.

I’m at a loss...

have you tried his bank card before as it may have picked it up as already being used

Went to town regretted it. Busier than Christmas eve, Abersoch holiday makers all come down for new years apparently. Shelfs where empty staff iratated by rude people. But lad doing food reductions at half price said put what you want in trolley I will reduce it for you .would rather it go to a local. When I realised he was doing them at 20p and 30p I put quite a few ready meals, meats etc in xx

I didn't do as well as that, but in a separate whoopsie shop I got some chunky lamb chops 50p each, large pack of beautiful braising steak 1.50, a pukka steak and ale pie for 40p and huge lemons were 4 in a bag for 5p, these were the single lemons which they had bagged in polybags in 4s.

Our A was heaving, a bit odd as it is open 8 hrs tomorrow, I might go back then as there was a lot of stuff in the cabinets dated 1st.

Hello pippo, sadly this is all to true.

It is amazingly scary how a simple photograph can become used to abuse or have terrible consequences for the child including having to move from a safe home.

Yep, so sad but true, It all seems nonsense for the average parent at the school carol concert.

Has anyone managed to keep a chart or an excel of their everyday housekeeping spending for the whole of 2017?

I started doing this properly - mainly as a guide to giving me exact figures for if/when OH retires - and working out what is a manageable amount for us to live on
I've managed an entire year :T - tomorrow will have a look at the figures to see if there are any areas that could be improved.

so far groceries are a prime candidate- our household increased by 50% in April but even so the average weekly spend just on food for humans (not cats, birds or foxes) (not added in this weekends spends yet) but its averaging out at £45 a week (sadly there are never any good yellow labels or RTCs locally)
(multiply this by 52 - gobsmacking figure )
