    I've made my shopping list for the first big shop of the month tonight, and for once it's not over a page long :D

    I will stick to it. I will stick to it. I will stick to it :p

    Will pop back this eve when it's done, and if I've spent more than £50 I want someone to give me a good telling off!

    Morning all :) I'm just getting ready to go away for a week so a week of NSD is coming up! Well... except for a lunch with an old friend :D and that is worth the spend out!

    Jackie, think our local Asda are doing the triple velvet 9 pack for £3.50, which seems to last us a month

    Cool. Think it's was on that big shelving unit they have just after the fridges. That Asda is always so busy! The tesco down the road in comparison is far far quieter..... it's very strange!

    Got my tesco delivery! I made the order with OH and flatmates so we got £10 off :)
    It ended up costing me £18.22 and I am thoroughly stocked up on milk, biscuits, dried and tinned food for the month and beyond, and fruit and veg for a week.

    I did buy some doritos and wotwsits they were a £1.00 for a ten pack.

    Got paid today and made another chunk off my credit card - should be gone finally after 2 more payments! :T

    I didn't bring lunch in so was going to buy a bread roll, and can of tuna for lunch, but it's p*ssing it down outside! So instead my lunch today consists of a slice of chocolate cake, a doughnut and a can of Diet Coke (it's someones birthday at work). All No Spend because the birthday girl brought it in. Mmmm - healthy, healthy! :D

    I'll be doing my first spend tonight to cover the week. I've got my list and meal plan for the week, and just need mainly veggies so it SHOULDN'T cost too much. I'm going to a smaller Mr T in town which doesn't have much in the way of reductions so I'm hoping it will be successful.
