Haha I know - gosh it’s getting ridiculous how it’s gone up - everything is going up

That's why we decided to do that pantry challenge which finishes this Tuesday to cut down on costs!

Today we have had a sweet potato and chickpea stew out of the cupboard for dinner which we enjoyed and chickpeas and chicken korma for lunch and pease pudding for breakfast.

Years ago at a catering job chef had put green peas on the counter for breakfast and the line manager had shouted at him in front of everyone which was extremely rude and unprofessional!

The line manager had had lots of other staff in tears by Hectoring them as she was a horrible woman!

I don’t usually notice, just pay! but I saw ordinary unleaded was £1.64 today. Oh well, it’s only money

My you remind me of one of my Mums favourite sayings"ain't no pockets in a shroud!"

I never worry about money , I know the way things are going we ll struggle to pay energy bills but if we can’t pay the powers that be will have to provide transport to prison for a 74 year old , his oxygen, nebulisers, massive box of meds etc etc and if they do get us there we’ll be warm and fed 😃.

[Hidden in reply to Thepainterswife]

Ha, I’ll come and visit you, Val! As you say, once it’s gone it’s gone, I refuse to think about it. Anyway, those outfits with the arrows on might look quite fetching 😊

[Thepainterswife in reply to Hidden]

When I walked Chom yesterday I just stood by the petrol pump station and stared at the pricing board. 😳

[soulboy118 in reply to Caspiana]

Arm and a leg prices C.

[Caspiana in reply to soulboy118]

Its going to hit people pretty hard and noticed that even simple things like tomatoes have gone up by .20p and dread to think about energy prices . Mind you it hasnt stopped the parents dropping their kids off at school when its just round the corner, yet x

[watergazer]

🤣 prices are getting ridiculous.

[Thepainterswife]

😂🤣😂

As much as a car would be more comfortable fo myself , I am sure glad I don't have a car to feed as well as myself . Can't beleive how much petrol costs ect have rocketed recently like many other thing, in our city they are hell bent on us riding our bikes or the new electric cars. Shanks pony for me on the days I can walk a little.

I drove by 2 petrol stations yesterday and was shocked by the prices......a couple of hours later I drove back and both had put the price up again - feels like they are taking advantage as surely both petrol stations couldn't have run out and been re-fueled in that time???

Could be worse, we could be in Ukraine 💔😢💔 x

[Stratos20 in reply to DJS6]

Disgraceful they don’t drop the price so quickly. Never minded paying whatever for fuel but this is really taking the p***Agree with your last comment though 😟

[rachelmi]

🤣🤣 Many moons ago It was £1 a gallon! 🤣 I’m sure others will remember it even cheaper in ‘old money’ before decimal. Gosh 😅 feeling old now 😉

[hypercat54]

Ha that's nothing - I have just been to Tesco! 😁🤣 x

[Hidden]

I don’t know how much it is round your way, Dave, but it’s £1.78 a litre at two Texaco garages here now (south coast). That does seem a bit steep. An easy “kerching” for Texaco!

[soulboy118 in reply to Hidden]

Its 1.60 for unleaded 1.70 for diesel H. Its pure profiteering but we all knew covid had to be repaid somehow.
