    Disaster struck!! I'd budgeted for an eye test, but I didn't budget for having to buy specs!! £57.45:eek: but with free ultraclear, and there was me thinking specs were by their very nature clear....

    I think I might be able to claim some of this back from work, I'll check it out tomorrow when I'm back there.

    :hello: Afternoon my lovelies! :hello:

    I have been basking in the glow of my trophy for September and haven't had an NSD yet in October but I promise to try harder (starting tomorrow! :D )

    I had a big stock up in Lidl today and MIL was absolutely horrified about how much I bought. I spent £150 and she spent £11. But she shops almost every day and I'm trying not to.

    If I've done it right I should be Ok except for bread milk & fruit & veg etc until towards the end of the month.

    Or that's the plan anyway! :D

    Love Jacks xxx

  • Another NSD day today for me.

    I was planning on buying a bottle of vino tomorrow to congratulate myself on a good week... however, my boss was clearing out the cupboards at work earlier and found four bottles of Chardonnay which she was kind enough to split with me :D

    So I've got one chilling in the fridge for tomorrow night in (watching the other half play on Fifa on his 360) and another waiting for the BYO meal out we're planning next weekend :D

    Have a good day tomorrow everyone!

    first NSD for me today :)

    Yesterday could have been too if it wasn't for slimming world!! When I get into double figure NSD's thats when I'm gonna put my slimming world money away at the beginning of the month and then not count it as a spend day.

    Won't be having and NSD's over the weeked. but hoping for at least 3 next week. If only it was easy as it sounds ....
