    I've had a week off of shred too due to my cold, am not looking forward to the pain when I restart :o:o

    On the plus side though, two people today commented that I'd lost weight :j

    Back from my favourite supermarket, forgot to take the voucher with me but doesn't really matter as I have 28 days to spend it and at least this doesn't draw more attention to me in the store :o

    Today I spent £29 and will get £20 voucher back, have never had so much shampoo / conditioner / kitkats / dove shower gel in my life :rotfl::rotfl: I honestly don't think I'll need to buy any of them again this year :D

    Nice one about the tesco deals. You could end up being a bit of a hoarder though. Hope you have lots of storage! Bah to the CSA I am so glad you don't have to rely on this money appearing.

    Evening all, another busy day; school was fine, then straight to mums, dad was totally barking today :o, followed by a trip to tescos, got £24 of shopping, used my £17.88 voucher so only spent £6 cash and have another reciept to submit which should get me at least a tenner back I think :)

    Then off to WW, stayed the same this week which I'm really chuffed with as I have been so hungry with my cold this week and have eaten way over my points, must try harder next week ;)
