Yes hopefully we will get a win soon as Christmas becomes more expensive as each year goes by even though we try to put a bit aside.

Delphi diesel injector, rear brake pads, o/s/f drop link, and a service for my C3. No change from 500 quid.
My (what I thought was a good deal) car is now turning into a money pit, spent around 1200 in the 9 months i have owned it, and it has now gone past the economic resale point which means it's with me till it's run into the ground.

A swift wander through, of all places, Aldi suggests I'll be acquiring some goodies from there.

I do have a really, really good Beaujolais.

Just got a great deal on my food for the first couple of weeks of next month.

5kg of chicken breast
1kg of dried beef jerky-type stuff
2lb of chicken breast sausages
2lb of chicken and chilli sausages
2lb of turkey breast sausages
700g of back bacon medallions

£57 including delivery.

Nom. :)

EDIT: Also acquired my batch for the first half of the month and modified that:

5kg of chicken breast
2lb of chicken breast sausages
2lb of chicken and chilli sausages
2lb of turkey breast sausages
700g of back bacon medallions
1kg of tuna steak
1kg of pacific salmon fillet
1kg of swordfish steak
4 protein baps (22g protein, only 22g carbohydrate per bap)

£66.33

Saving both from getting 2.5kg of chicken breast free via a 'loyalty' voucher code, so I only paid for 2.5kg, and saving £25.04 on a special offer on both orders.

Advance booked train tickets to Penzance from Worthing, return: £101 each. Curious how the return leg is much cheaper than the outward one unless you want to freeze your butt off at Westbury for 5(!) hours.

Car's still off the road so we're going to let the train take the strain for our Xmas break staying with my mother in Sennen. :)

Yes, it's odd how guys have that impression before their weddings isn't it. There's one or two other things which change noticeably after the contract is signed too but since this is a family forum... :D
