    Took kids & DH to cinema on £1 each tickets & insisted on taking my own popcorn from Mr T. Feel stingy but pleased, lol!

    Popped into shops, straight home and scanned my shopping and entered the relevant items into CP. Feels great to have two rewards for one item - does that excuse my buying extra socks? :o

    Had JL refund on pricematch, new mattress should arrive today, fingers crossed :j

    Had meeting lunch yesterday and resisted buying drinks and snacks whilst travelling.

    Today I helped a friend who then wanted to go for lunch on the way back from picking things up in the car. I paid for my food but had tap water only, saving money and calories on a drink and dessert. :A

    Also resisted the urge to go to the shops on the way home, but will be taking advantage of the Mr M deal of 2 for £20 to clean our camping duvet and sleeping bag ready for going away in the summer.

    Hi Katsu

    That sounds interesting -must have a look into that. Do you have a specific supplier. Thanks AG :D
    My order from hairsupermarket was despatched promptly, well packed, and the items were in perfect condition so I am quite happy. I am happy to recommend them to other MSE-ers who use salon shampoo (am not MSE enough to wash my hair with Stardrops ;)).

    My order was even more MSE than I'd thought as the conditioner was 60% extra free :money:

    Now you see, you'd have had nothing to post if you hadn't made that OP :D.

    Spent a long time willing the mortgage to go. It didn't :(.

    Totally mahoosive £5 OP made though :).
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

    Redeemed $50.00 from GTM, so about £30 odd pounds off to the Halifax.
