    £96 on 2 tyres & tracking :mad: I didn't know the about the tracking!
    I'm really annoyed cos they have said the rear tyre can't be adjusted & after calling my local nissan garage to check why, he said as long as it is within tolerance not to worry about it, but I don't know what the tolerance is!!

    I'm off to do a bit of research on nissan micras!

    Have only spent £6.50 today as have spent the day in Alder Hey (kids hospital) with my DS who had to have gromitts fitted. So knowing hospital prices, I took sandwiches, museli bar, apple and drinks with me. We were supposed to be in overnight (he should have had his adenoids (sp) out) but they changed their minds. So £6.50 was take away for Me, OH and son. DD is at granny's for a sleep over. So all in all a good day.
  • Spent £80 on clothes. Oooooops :o

    and £2.99 on Boots meal deal.

    quiet weekend for me I think....

    Good luck to you and your son for the op alice's mum.

    Ms_London, do you buy a specific make-up brand? Boots No7 are giving away a free mascara with a £10 spend at the moment, so if the concealer took you over that you'd get both sorted.

    Good luck with your research Ceri.

    Um, I've spent £19.50ish on grocery shopping, which includes a discount of £3 thanks to that nice Mr J Sainsbury who sent me coupons today. Also £38 on the lottery but that wasn't my money.

    Spent £7.50 for stuff for work but have had that reimbursed so in theory nothing on that score. However, spent £1.36 sending ebay parcels but that was already paid for and then £3 something on some cough medicine which doesn't seem to be doing the trick!!!! Cough splutter cough!
    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

    Must STOP spending!!! :)
    Proud to be dealing with my debts!
