Weeellll, my challenge went a bit pear-shaped yesterday

First day in a shop all week and I spent the following on my "not allowed " list

Lunch..... Went to make my sandwich but we had run out of bread ... so had to buy a sandwich BUT got a reduced one and a can of coke £2.65

Toiletries.. needed face cleanser BUT only spent £1.00 on cheapo face wipes £1.00

Clothes... School trousers for DS2 £7.00

Alcohol 2 bottles of wine and some beer worked its way into my trolley £ 13.99:eek:

So total not allowed spends so far on WEEK 1 ! =£24.64

Just been reading an article on dental treatments. My front 2 teeth have veneers. The article said that veneers rarely last more than 10 years before they crack or fall off:eek: My veneers are 9 yrs:eek::eek:. Now this as sent me in to a bit of a panic .. Losing a front tooth and not having it replaced immediately is definetly NOT an option:rotfl:. Need to start building up a fund ... just in case . I am now scared to eat ;)
