This will feed and stock us up again, also sorts out 3 of us, as my partners son has moved back with us for a while. His expenses are far higher than ours as he is not even worried about eating some junk foods and spends his money on a lot of sweets. When there were only the two of us we would never spend more than £40 to keep us well stocked.<br />It`s monthly bill paying tomorrow. This means £115 for Polltax, £10 for Gas, £40 for Electric, £32 for Water Rates, and £350 for our rent on the council house. And we still manage to save a little. I`m paying £200 into our savings account each month. This is our little buffer for emergencies. If it`s not used it will build up for the next holiday. Every little bit helps.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09114653674812242486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652989316053170663.post-54639356594256603672011-07-28T02:03:53.220-07:002011-07-28T02:03:53.220-07:00Cheers, have just signed up ready for Monday:)Cheers, have just signed up ready for Monday:)Manchester Lass, Now and Thenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04946068658998389838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652989316053170663.post-31805463193340405632011-07-28T00:19:27.636-07:002011-07-28T00:19:27.636-07:00If it's of any help, this is the nifty little ...If it's of any help, this is the nifty little website help I had with my spending diary:<br /><br />http://www.spendingdiary.com/DHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199859409385042568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4652989316053170663.post-5355227096071037402011-07-27T16:25:01.723-07:002011-07-27T16:25:01.723-07:00Oh what a great idea.

At the moment Amazon UK has free postage to Oz so I've been ordering quite a lot and with the exchange rate being so good, what else could I do! Wish we had Amazon here. It's no wonder pubs are closing down at those prices. Looking forward to your post on making your own toiletries:) LindaManchester Lass, Now and Thenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04946068658998389838noreply@blogger.com
