If You Fail To Prepare, You Prepare to Fail

That's another serious bargain haul! I think the rest of need to employ you as our personal bargain shopper... I rarely get those sorts of bargains buts that's mainly because i don't go shopping at the times i know i am more likely to get the bargains. Its a bit hit and miss with my local supermarkets too, often even if you are there at the right sort of time there's nothing much there. And by that time of the day they tend to have run out of other things i want so i generally opt for convenience over bargains. Love it when i get lucky though!

Pistachio ice cream really appeals. Is it milk chocolate on the magnums? I think the milk chocolate on the magnums a bit too sweet so probably not worth me investigating them unless its dark chocolate

Sounds like a very nice day's food yesterday and points bargain for just 1 weekly. Just shows what healthy choices you naturally make now.

And again.... well done on bargain hunting. I really must try harder! x

Funnily enough I was going to have my 18g of Ketchup for 0pp but it was so yummy I really didn't need it! X

It's funny isn't it cos I thought I had eaten LOADS yesterday but it only used 1 Weekly, I was also going to use some Weeklies for the sake of it but then I decided that I really didn't want to, that's what got me into this mess in the first place! PS-It is Milk Chocolate but only 24% of the whole lolly?!? X

Sunday has been a bit of a lazy day as I'm not feeling too well :-( I think the heat combined with my new meds has knocked by appetite and whatever I do eat just tastes really yuck! I just about managed to eat some Melon for Breakfast, I dished up 1/2 Cheese Onion Pasty (6pp), 120g Peas (3pp), Mashed Swede (0pp) and Steamed Broccoli/Carrots (0pp). I just about managed the Pasty, 40g of Peas and Broccoli :-( I then did something naughty and spent 2pp on Worcester Sauce French Fries and 1pp on Babybel Light even though I hadn't eaten my dinner as I could actually taste those! So lunch cost me 10pp but at least I ate something I guess! Hope everyone's Sunday is a bit more successful than mine! Poppy has a party 330-530, must try to resist the party food although I do have 48 Weeklies if necessary lol x

I'm sure a 10pp lunch won't hurt, especially with 48 weeklies!! Hope the party food doesn't tempt you & Poppy has a great time

Given you had a 0pp breakfast a 10pp lunch sounds like a good plan. Although your appetite might be a bit shaky due to not feeling well still important to make yourself your body has enough fuel.

Hope you feel better soon and enjoy the party. And any party snacks that appeal to you

I think she's *very* excited, I'm being asked every 5 minutes if its time to go yet! X

Thanks Sweetie, when I feel like this I can gladly skip eating so I thought if I had something I wanted (even if it wasn't very conventional!) it was better than having nothing lol. Think I might go 15mins early and quickly pop into Asda to check for any bargains ;-) x

Hey Sweeties

Well I have to say that the (Will)PowerPuffer is back in business, not one Sandwich/Crisp/Biscuit/Cake passed my lips at the Party, Poppy had a fab time, she's a massive magic fan so was thrilled that there was a Magician! She won the Gangnam Style Dancing Competition, she had a little Trophy awarded to her

Anyways, before the Party we had to drive past Asda and knowing that it was Sunday AND 3pm I knew that the Final Reductions would be done and I couldn't stop myself from having a look, Poppy loves a Reduction Hunt too, she does the bottom shelf whilst I do the top shelf!

Here's our haul for today...



OCD Rainman Bit now...£24 of Shopping for £5.39! Top Reductions were definitely the Organic Cauliflowers which would normally be £2 each for 35p each and Extra Special Tender Stem Broccoli for 35p a pack!

I really need a bigger fridge..!

Lots of Love Sweeties. X

She's a great child, sometimes she does my head in but I'm very very proud of her! I'd love to be an Advisor, my Dream Job would be to advise on PP and Reductions! X
