If you can't be a good example........ you will just have to be a horrible warning
Re: I am having a go.
... January does tend to be the month when a lot of stuff are in the sales and useful to get such as clothes and food, but I don't think Frugal February is about stocking up in January, not spend a penny in February, and defer the debt to March Re: I am having a go.Yes, it is easy enough to make one month's figures look good.

Re: I am having a go.Hi did not say I would get in debt ....
I do not spend a lot on my self for sure . The hens dogs , cats get most of my cash .... Lots of stories behind my situation for sure not to be aired really . I have a budget of little and no cash (self protection ) .... Bob Re: I am having a go.Whatever works for you.

Maralade 27 pence jar . Plus the reduced counter any money left . Plus side any odd cash I can make this week (possibly 90pounds ) So this week I may have to return the cash to other half with bonus. Quick add up approx. 63,12 spending -90pounds equals a 26.88pounds towards next weeks. Bob
Re: I am having a go.Doing well myself but as valentines day have bought SHMBO presents . 14 days of valentines....
But spent very little . Crumpets reduced 40pence breakfast and 2 tins of beans in sauce 25 pence each for lunch and left over pasta tonight . 30 sauce and 25 pence pasta cooked yesterday so food spent a little. Fill tank tomorrow. Bob
Re: I am having a go.Collected food delivered to SHMBO by van delivery last night . ? on the cost . Other than fresh milk /bread enough to get through a good couple of weeks . So much could not pack it in cupboards . Basic brands . Only trouble is that I do not eat a months food in a week ... Weight is going to go up if not careful.

Re: I am having a go.Hi 6.50 on mixed corn 20kilo bag.

Re: I am having a go.That's a good price - ours was nearer £7.
I sometimes worry that we eat food just because it's there. I don't buy snacks at all, but OH seems to only go a couple of hours before refuelling. Maybe it's a man thing.
Re: I am having a go.Hi , it is all todo with keeping a good figure . If you look at a Silver back , they are all well built round the stomach.

Re: I am having a go.Hi this is a bit like dieting .....
30 pounds of fuel , chicken feed 18.00 pounds a fish food . Cabbages , broccoli and oranges (box ) 16pounds . 2-1 pizza Monday night made two diners (Ate 1 and 1/2 at 2.00am Tues morning watching tele. 19.00pounds (huge ) It was a holiday ? Milk and bread (reduced ) 2.00pounds . Hopefully gain a couple of quid next couple of days . Fixed neighbours leaking sink drain pipe . Free diner Friday night .(payment ) Lamb joint each . Couple of quid Monday / Thurs meeting contributions . Still plenty of food in cupboards . Soup and tin beans and bread seems the easy diet I am on . Lazy and trying to get down weight for bike ride end of month and start of the season . Have to fix bike up may cost a couple of quid . Due to get a few quid for a car sale from dealer .Plus another when sold so should get more in than spent . Mortgage reduced by 50 per cent which is quite a lot . Settle down now to work till end of month. Using up last year holiday left overs . Get 31 days plus bank holidays . As I do a 3 day week x 2 then a 4 day week . Rest O/T shifts get 10 weeks plus a year . more headaches trying to fit on calendar . Suppose I should not book any this month as go on budget costs . Does buying euro count as spending - some money different form . Bob
Re: I am having a go.50% mortgage reduction? Wow! That's a huge difference. Well done!
Re: I am having a go.Hi what with the 32 pounds vet bill Monday .Yesterdaay had a 44 pound bill from the vets for another hen .
Think I will go back to normal save money . No cash spent and gained a few quid , but soon lost that and more to vet. Bob |
