Again, making use of the free parking space at work today;
Have enough on my canteen lunch card for some soup today for lunch so no spending there;
My Mum has asked me to pick up some bottles of Ralph Lauren Sport - the single best perfume in the world! - which are on sale for a tenner (yes a tenner!) locally (It's difficult to find, hence both of us are stocking up!).
I'll get the perfume cash back, so it's a NSD again for me I s'pose!Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!0 -

-Aiming for 2nd NSD in a row- get me!!!
-Done one Dooyoo review- will prob manage one more before work so getting closer to my second Amazon voucher on there.
-Checked for MS but none worth my while- there seem to be loads where they pay for one meal, but I'd make a loss as I'd end up paying for a second meal for OH!
-Got the juicer out and juiced some sad looking fruit and veg for my brekky
-OH can make store cupboard tea for when I get home late tonight
-Check freebies board for goodies
