    I haven't been on here in weeks, with work commitments and holidays

    I have had a great no spend week, with 3 days away at a suppliers expense in Sweden, training for work.

    - TV blew up so went into Currys today to do some comp shopping and got a ex-display TV no romote for £79.97 HD 22" LDC TV with DVD, I have ordered the romote for £10.99 I thought this was quite a bargin.

    - Put money into savings
    - Won £5 on the bingo during the week , therefore making enough to transfer over £10 to saving
    - Did shopping in Boots got double points
