Hi Haven't posted on this thread before,
Were going away camping at the weekend but said we'd get a 'treat' on the way instead of having to cook when we get there.
I got the bus today and on the back of the ticket is a saver offer at Macdonalds £1.99 for a Big Mac and fries, but I only had one ticket as I was on my own so I picked up a discarded one off the floor!!
Wouldn't normally go there but as I subjected myself to floor skimming were going!!Debt Free Target: December 2011
:T I did it in November 2011!! :T0 -
For me today, peeps (and glad for the good news, fay):
