    Over the last couple of days I -

    - Reached £10 on VO, just waiting for reward to clear so I can get another £10 Amazon voucher.
    - Bought some small Christmas presents so I don't have to buy everything in Dec.
    - Got some co-op branded after eights and orange segments to put away for Christmas, £1 each. Have a stash of food & drink that I'm adding to bit by bit.
    - Tea last night, tonight and tomorrow all from batch cooked meals in the freezer.
    - Packed lunches all week. Never take my purse to work so I'm not tempted to buy stuff.
    - 50% off hovis loaf at Aldi this evening.

  • so far this week

    I have taken lunch to work

    • NSD (went a little bit mad with a series of small eBay purchases yesterday!)
    • Will finish my Kindle book on investing behaviour - a very good reminder that common sense, detaching your emotions and being consistent pays off (like OPing!)

    Hope everyone has a good day :)

    This weekend...

    - used a £2 off a £20 spend at Iceland voucher. The freezer is full so bought wine _party_

    - went foraging in the woods for the first time today. Lots of free fresh air and exercise, but only managed to find a tablespoon of brambles. Will put them in a crumble tomorrow with garden apples.
