I love your post Caroline :rotfl:
Today I have:
* waited until I got home to call the Job Centre back as it was not free on my mobile.
* brought fruit and veg from the market as it is cheap and I was in town anyway to see an agency, so 2 errands, 1 car park fee
* left home with enough time to part in the free parking spaces and walk to the appt (they were full, but at least I tried)
* paid the car park then nipped back to a shop rather than go just over the extra hour and have to pay more for my parking (did have to give up on going to a second shop in the 15 mins they give you to get out of the car park)
* been to the pound shop and 99p shop and got some small jars so I can make DH jellies for work, and got a jar of cheap reduced sugar jam
* got some wheat bran to bulk out porridge
* got cheap fruit where possible - like bruised bananas to make banana bread or cake of some kind later in the weekDebt at highest: £8k. Debt Free 31/12/2009. Original MFD May 2036, MF Dec 2018.0 -
