How much have you spent today Saturday 28/10?
Comments

£4.47 on the Daily Mail, cheese, four scotch eggs and 12 reduced Warburtons sandwich rolls. Plus £10 renewing my lottery numbers for five weeks (one line Sat & Weds).
Just to let you know as I mentioned it last week, my dad passed away this morning. It was totally expected and he didn't suffer. He wanted to go, that was obvious when we last visited. The family are all calm about it. I know there will be lots to sort out but can't really start at the weekend as offices aren't open.
So what better place than MSE to take one's mind off things?
