    I have done my usual shop at home bargains but spent £5 less than normal (have to say its only cr*p anyway -sweets and biscuits that we could all do without) wish I could stop it altogether but I have such a sweet tooth but anyway reducing it is a start

    hope i dont go and do a second shop later in the week:rotfl:

    What's been going on today then!! This thread is very long today.

    Cleosmum, sorry to hear money is a bit tight for you at the mo, but well done for finding that sneaky £10 hiding away!

    Pinklady, good luck with your test, i am giving up on my driving test at the mo, fed up of sitting there and beeing told i have failed for the most miniscule things. Really hope you did well though.

    Talliedebtbuster, congrats on your first year at uni and for getting a first, sounds like you've got your head screwed on.

    A big hello to the usual gang, whose posts i always enjoy reading! And hello to everyone else.

    Been at a training course all day so not much done. I was at one of those courses where you have someone who just wont stop talking and who complains and makes comments about everything, as a result we finished an hour later than planned.:mad:

    -So, used rail pass to get cheap fare
    -Had free lunch, very yummy
    -Foreign student not in for tea so less people to cook for
    -Been out training for new job and will eventually get paid for the training
    -Will make tea from left overs from last night
    -Have looked for mystery shops but still none:rolleyes:

    Think thats about it for me, am going to go chill for a bit and read some of my book before deciding what to do with my evening and do some of training book for new job.

    Have a great evening everyone.
