    Bless me Big Mumma for I have sinned.....thought yesterday would be a NSD but you know what thought did (followed a muck cart, thought it were a wedding). Car demanded motion lotion - is somebody out there drinking this stuff???? I only put some in the other day!!!!

    And today was spent getting in supplies for the boys as I am working this weekend. At least I can't spend anything tomorrow, or Sunday, so there is hope yet....

    Sorry to hear you're still feeling poorly Suzie, hope you're on the mend soon x

    Keiss - nothing wrong with feeling all bouncy at the thought of saving the pennies, I was over the moon at our 1/2 price for 6mths Sky deal :rotfl:

    Well the good news is that it's another NSD day for me so thats...hang on....err......*scratches head a little like that H&S advert.....8 NSD

    argh, they don't seem to be clocking up very quicly this month do they? :mad: Had a complete palarver at Mr T this lunchtime...we needed tea bags and I had a £3 Clubcard voucher, so picked up 240 Tetley on offer to £2.64. When I got to the checkout the lady said she couldn't use my voucher as the tea bags were less and she couldn't give me change....so I HAD to go and find someting for 36p in order to keep my NSD :mad::mad: Luckily I found a tin of Oak Lane spaghetti letters for OH, although they were still more than the Mr A loops he normally has. Then I had to go to another checkout as rather than letting me back (she'd kept my tea bags and clubcard) she was about to start running another lady's shopping through which looked to be about a month's woth! Now I wouldn't have minded waiting if she's already started, but she hadn't. Anyway, got served elsewhere and stomped out the store.
    What a stupid system, they should either be allowed to give change under 50p, or be able to put the balance back onto the Clubcard as a credit - Mr T wouldn't lose out then .....sorry...rant over....

    No NSD tomorrow (hair cut) goodness knows how I'm gonna get to 15 this month ....

    ...always good at maths, I was, till I started doing this challenge......I think that Spoon person put a jinx on me this month when we got mixed up over my target.....

    But what the heck! They say God loves a trier...and boy, am I trying.....(don't all agree at once!)

    Beanie, you will never make a business woman! How about fining DS £2 if he doesn't empty the dishwasher?

    Get yourself into a hot bath/shower with a hot cuppa and promise to be a good girl tomorrow and not spend any money - that's what I do and it sometimes works!
