    and enough toiletries to keep us going till 2009 from boots clearance :o
    Oh got some clown trousers( no fitting room!) with his Xmas money

    And just as I was feeling weak & faint hot & exhausted, a guardian angel seemed to have abandoned a old-lady shopping trolley for us to aquire ;) does have a broken zip & dodgy axle but hey! Im such a trogg sometimes :D

    Lol, needs must Lynz - I would have happily 'acquired' an old-lady style trolley when I went shopping the other day. I walked for what seemed like hours (about 20 minutes probably :)), and by the time I got home, I was ready for collapse. Give me a trolley with a dodgy axle and a fetching tartan trim anyday! :D

    WELL
    today hasnt been a NSD at all!

    decided to buy a weekly travel card as I need it really, works out cheaper so 23.50

    popped into asdas to buy an extra for tea, and bought a cheap folder for mystery shoppping info etc. spent 2.19 all in.

    went and did the mystery shop and lunch for 2 was a whopping 75 quid :eek: I will get 70 back. the food was pretty average, we can make better at home-cant we lou ;) I cant believe people pay this for such an average meal :eek:
    the place was packed as well!!! madness. mind you the puds were worth a fiver of my money I have to say YUM

    After that I spent 85p on a cup of tea as I was soaking & freezing & off to meet a freind briefly.

    then came home and hoping I can spend nothing today or tomorrow

    Have interview tomorrow and woefully underprepared. :eekj: scared scared scared
