Another Milestone & A Bargain

Crikey... November 1st.... another new month and a step closer to Christmas.  For me it's a special day because....
I have stopped counting the years (whispers 68 of them!) and I'm just counting the joys instead. I've received some wonderful cards and OH is treating me to a meal out tonight with DD and her family and tomorrow night I'll be seeing my lovely brother & his wife too.  We have eaten home prepared meals from the freezer on Monday & Tuesday so no real cooking until Friday.  Now that's what I call a birthday treat!!

We popped out to buy fuel yesterday and whilst at Sainsbugs I used some of my Nectar points on wine for Christmas.  They had an offer on of 25% off 6 bottles, which I was happy to take advantage of :) so, by using £22.50 worth of points, 6 bottles cost me the princely sum of 82p  They will not be drunk before Christmas and one or two might be given as gifts, repeat....they will NOT be drunk before Christmas, they will NOT be drunk before Christmas :)

Have a lovely day everyone and thanks so much for popping in x

    We did the same for our wine, Tesco had the same deal. Happy birthday, sounds as if you are going to have fun, it must be a good month, mine is next week, just a few years younger than you.

  • Veg War and An Education in Sewing
    It's difficult not to notice the veg price war going on at the moment.  When I popped into Sainsburys there was a whole load of veg bags...
  • Election Duty & Frugal Doings
    My new herb pot! It was election day in the UK on Thursday and I was lucky enough to be employed for the day as Poll Clerk in my local area....
  • Catching up & Growing On....
    Gosh, has it only been a week since Easter Sunday?  It somehow feels much longer. A big thank you to those who left comments on my last coup...
