What have you spent today? 13/11/05

Hi guys,

Thought I'd start this today!

Went to Tesco to get some Nurofen plus for my toothache and ended up spending about £20 :eek: had to get nappies, wipes etc for DD and got a chicken for lunch. The Nurofen was over £4!!

  • erm.... £13.30 at the wholesalers for some bits I need for college, thats the last of it now so no more spending on that.
    £20 at sainsburys, half of that was an xmas pressie for my grandad, which was on special so saved £4, and the other half dinners and packed lunch for the next week or so.
    Not too bad and at least nothing for the sake of it.....

    Nothing today! We went to see OH's brother in Coventry and thir dad kindly treated us to Sunday lunch. I spent quite a lot yesterday though, however I babysat till late last night and earned £32!
    Yesterday is today's memories, tomorrow is today's dreams :)
  • Nothing spent, but 25 totally unnecessary miles driven in the car (can't beat a good drive out on a sunny Sunday!).

    Re: Nurofen - have you tried just buying the non-brand name version?? Should be much cheaper - I'm (fairly) sure Nurofen is just Ibuprofen - if you ask the pharmacist for the non 'brand name' equivalent - they'll be able to advise you!!!!

    I've not spent anything today but OH has bought 2 Sunday papers ?how much they cost, no more than £2 though!!
