    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Combo Breaker PPI Party Pooper
    £78.14 in Morrisons.
    But as well as food, I needed:
    A new clothes airer, determined not to use the drier - got one on special offer for a tenner,
    2 new timer switches for lamps to make house look occupied in winter, 2 for £4.
    8 plastic storage containers - BOGOF - following the recent moth infestation in my baking supplies and bird seed, I have also found the little blighters in my rice and pasta :(
    I also got some reduced meat bargains, which I hadn't budgetted for, but they were too good to pass up and they're in my freezer ;) .

    Nothing so far, although I am running out of baccy and need a pint of milk so I'll be popping into the Spar on my way home


    But if we don't count that because I haven't done it yet then this is my 3rd day spending absolutely nothing! How cool do I feel? I'm already thinking about what I can make to bring with me for lunch tomorrow - I had couscous and roast veg today and it was gorgeous and very filling

    Of course, thinking about that stops me thinking about the SOA that I am halfway through writing - I WILL be brave enough to finish it and post it up on here so I can start sorting myself out properly xx

    Nothing today.

    Was expecting to be paid tomorrow after being told a month ago this would happen due to new payroll system being implemented. Turns out to be rubbish and not getting paid till next week. Therefore most of the next 7 days will be no spend days! Good for the figure though perhaps?
