Nae luck as they say in my part of the world! I think I've had it bad if the Forth Road Bridge toll goes up from 80p to £1 (although they are now talking about putting it up to £4!) :eek:
That sounds cheap to me, round here it costs £4.80 to cross the Severn Bridge from Bristol to Wales (Chepstow). At 2 miles long, apparently that is more expensive per mile than a trans-atlantic flight (or some silly statistic like that!!). Mind you, they only charge to come into wales not to go back to england :rotfl:
Anyway, was very disorganised this morning so no time to make sandwiches, £2.65 on lunch in the canteen. But will be better the rest of the week, I promiseDon't stress, relax, let life roll off your backs. Except for death and paying taxes, everything in life is only for now...

No spending again today - in bed poorly for a while. OH spent price of pkt mince to make spag bol for himself and young'uns. Since spag and mince'n'onions are his only meals, my time in bed could be a bit of a money saver, except that the kids start to complain after a day or two and they end up ordering pizza.:jI gave up jogging for health reasons; my thighs rubbed together and my knickers caught fire!0

Double his repertoire
Mince, one tin of Tesco's mixed veg (26p) spoonful of gravy powder cooked up together, top off with mashed potato (I buy the cheapest ready made one for about a pound as I'm awful at making it!) and bung in the oven for a bit till it bubbles and browns. Serve with a jugful of frozen peas microwaved for about four mins.Do I Need One Stops All Unnecessary Reckless Spending£2 CSC - £30 :kisses3:0 -

Oh !!!!!!! I cant believe I could of saved £4 by buying the book via this site, I didnt even think to look!! But I have to say I may of gone and brought it anyway, I was in the mood to spend money and as I wanted it anyway I thought it was the safest purchase
I cant take it back as Ive already started high-lighting bits
Ive left it on my desk at work so when I feel the need to spend money I can read my book over lunch instead
but i do feel bad for spending money on this when I could of got it cheaper...Ive failed already
