Evening all,

Lilly, OliveOyl and flying fresian – hope you got some Boots bargains!
Fayjmc – glad you got some Boots Bargains
Lilian1977 – glas to hear scan was fine

My dfw things (in Surrey) today:

· Used free sample of face cream
· More free smellies in hotel room :T
· Good supply of tea and biscuits (will sample shortly as dinner isn’t until 7pm :rolleyes: )
· Breakfast– free – to claim back on expenses
· Lunch – kept a few sweet pastries from my breakfast, using free jam from yesterday = £0 spend on lunch today
· Didn’t buy any drinks for lunch (used free hot drinks and water machine at work)
· Popped into Local Boots - got 2 x No 7 Protect & perfect sets, 1 x John Freida blonde set and 1 x Toni & Guy set all 75% off (used points so didn’t spend any cash) :T
· Will get (double the) money back from DH for John Freida blonde set brought for his sisters birthday
· Used work to courier my Boots purchases to my colleague at work since they were all too bulky for my one hand luggage bag I’m allowed plus contains liquids and sprays (hope they get their ok – that’s my next stress now since I made the 75% sale), also couriered my work laptop power supply as that’s heavy and taking up useful space in my bag!:p
· Dinner – free – to claim back on expenses
· Used work phone to speak to DH during the day
· M&S – got a musical birthday card for sisters birthday (September time but card suits her perfectly) reduced to 50p from £5 (paid 49p after the Vat reduction)
· Will charge mobile in hotel room later
· Will ask hotel receptionist to book me a taxi for tomorrow morning since I forgot to book it at work whilst booking taxi to take me back this evening
· WH Smiths – brought Sun paper – used free Sun paper coupon
· Found 3p
· £2 coin in change which I have put aside for sisters wedding ‘cash’ gift
That's all I can think of.

Good evening everyone! Ive just finished nights and up and alert, finances have taken a knock on nights though. My own fault, i was doing okay until yesterday and got some tasty food i didn’t even eat half of. I tried one of those innocent veg pots though and lovely! So ive just gone and bought some bits to make my own! Lots of ingredients will work out cheaper!
So anyways, i have a party next next week before payday so i am going to go overdrawn by payday. Not good but ill have to be mega careful next month and wont be able to put away as much savings..help guys how can i keep my good work going?

Hi all -
a high spend day for me - £41 in Boots:eek: Still I got loads of presents and earned enough points to buy T a much needed pair of pyjamas, plus 2 x £5 NO7 vouchers. And I used my debit card not my credit card. Have I justified myself enough yet?

DFW things
1) Daily scratch x 10p
2) Used up dregs of vegetables to make nice dinner
3) Started using up a cleanser I never use instead of buying handwash
4) Had nice letter telling me my mortgage has gone down by about £40 a month
5) Dragged myself to work
6) Did online survey

Feel bad about the £41 but hey - it's money saving in the long run and tomorrow is another day.
