Thought I'd start this thread today. Hope no one minds.
I might have had a bit of luck today. I got about £5 worth of shopping in Tesco and used the self service till. I paid with debit card and on taking my card out of the machine an error message came up. The supervisor said she wasn't sure what to do as if she put my debit card in again it might charge me twice. So she said I could take my things and keep my fingers crossed it doesnt charge me. So hopefully it won't.

Hi nothing at all today, I'm nursing a baby hangover. Had a night out in town last night and spent £50! :eek: This involved a meal as well as clubbing it. I feel sick and sick for spending that amount _pale_
It's a one off so that's not too bad

I'm sure Moozie will be delighted - she's probably still nursing her big toe anyway:rolleyes: (Sorry Moozie - hope it's better soon:beer: )
I was excused Tesco, as my daughter went earlier - so No Spend Today, although I'm still thinking of that reduced cake that Saubrin got yesterday and I may:rolleyes: be persuaded to take a quick trip at around half three.
Cheers
