    Hiya,
    Miss Bez - I wouldnt count that as spending, as you are effectively using their money not yours.

    Managed a NSD yesterday.

    My aim for another NSD failed today :( I nipped into the petrol station on the way to work in a weak moment!! Just on a random tangent...the petrol station shop was a Tesco. How come they can hike prices up in the smaller shops? As an example 1 carton of Strawberry and Banana, Innocent Smoothie is £2 in the big store but something like £3.02 in the smaller store?

    Apologies for the digression but this is a bit sneaky!

    A lot of the bigger supermarket chains have different price bands and special offers for certain products depending on the size of their stores. I used to work in one which was of a large classification and had loads of different prices and offers compared to the "corner shop" sized one just a mile down the road further in town.

    Anyways, I'm on track for number four if I'm good - had the dentist this morning but have to go back to finish root canal treatment so don't have to pay till next appointment (and it's nowhere near as much as I was freaking about :T) And went to the Post Office to send away parcels and I managed to stop myself buying lunch and/or sweets & bottle of lucozade (my fizzy juice downfall) Instead had some rather nice tom soup from freezer for lunch, glass of squash and some of my Rocky Road :dance:

    Might have to pop out later but will resist (or get the boyfriend to treat me :D )
