    Hi Hypno

    Thanks for saying it was a double scratchcard day today, cos I had only done one! If I press F5 and it's not a double day it boots me out of IE :confused:
    so I don't very often do it.

    mooloo, sorry about your accident this morning - hope it eases soon.

    KC, any sweet stuff would be eaten by 8.30 am.......along with my first coffee of the work day probably, so best not to bother otherwise I only crave more by about......urm.....9am! :o

    Well, it is now 7.30 and I have spent nothing.....so I can successfully report a NSD - my first of 2009 :j

    So:
    • I did not go to the cash machine
    • I did not buy a coffee on my way to work
    • I took lunch from home and did not buy any in town
    • I resisted chocolate and cake despite being surrounded by places that sell them
    • I made dinner from the storecupboard - thai green curry with loads of odd veggies out of the fridge and some reduced price pork that was in the freezer.....delish!
    A few more days like that each month and I will be doing a whole lot better!

    :D

  • Good going Hypno, i too made a storecupboard Tea..mine was one of those Tesco value curries added to some stir fry steak and potatoes and onions. Scrummy it was too.

  • I didn't have quite the creative fun. I had my delivery from Sainsburys! And boy was it good! I think I had the price crashes from Christmas because two week's food for two came to something like £35!!!

  • I didn't say a great day because I worked out I'm actually earning £6000 less in my current contract because of my desperation in getting a job! And I was wondering why I was finding a struggle to pay off my debts!

    Oh well! Gives me more impetus to find a new permanent one!
