I admire you both Mich. do you ever think , I wish I hadn't got rid of that? 
Not really Cookie. I can think of lots of things I wish I hadn't purchased though.


Ain't that the truth.

Michele, I see you have suddenly become a guest.  Have you accidentally clicked on something to cause this - I can't see you only wanting to be a guest.  I'll email you. Oops I can't do that, I see I don't have your email and now you are only a guest your name isn't showing up in our member's list.  If anyone has my email address and Michele's, perhaps you could pass mine onto her please and I'll refer the matter to MM once I know some more details.

mich has inspired me, we have just cleaned out the linen cupboard. Lots of towels and old duvet sets and sheets going to Shenton Park Dogs home. Now we can actually see what we have ;D

Going to make an effort and a cupboard or area each week, BUT NOT THE COOKBOOKS ;)

The dogs' home will appreciate it Hally and so will your linen press.  Well done you and well done Michele for inspiring you to get into it.

If you are in Perth and have linen or other household items that are still in good condition then Parkerville Children's Home is always in need- especially sheets, doona covers etc

Thanks for that information Bonsai.

Linen cupboard looks great, Shenton Park very grateful. Felt I have done a lot for kids, love animals so need to help them out :)

This week $206. Seems my average when I dont try is $200, much better than it was years ago, so must have learnt something :)

I'm back up to between $150-$200 again. But that is normal for us. That includes all meat, veggies and cleaning products.

Ours has been creeping up towards $200 again, especially if some things need a stock up - and there always seems to be something! This week was $203 including big bottle of olive oil, toilet paper, bulk dishwasher tablets, stock up of cat food, big bag of spuds....lots of stuff really, so not feeling that bad about it, but I don't seem to be getting as many low weeks in between as 6-12mths ago!
