    Okay, today's spend - not brilliant but better than it would've been.

    £11.17 dog's christmas pressies
    £28.48 Tesco - (tonights dinner, christmas chocs, some bits for 'the big day' dinner, lindt chocs for my nan, treats for DS school trip, batteries & sweetners)
    £1.99 for lovely christmas present for mum next year
    £1.57 - 2packs sweet waffles for crimbo brekkie and one to munch 'cause we were hungry.

    I nearly got 'sucked in' and spent more with the 'buy 2 for ...' and then realised that having one was a treat, and the reduction on the second didn't justify another treat. Thanks guys - that saved me £3.63!!
    Pleased as punch with that

    £3 on a Boots meal deal (justified in that I was meant to be home for lunch but Mum dragged me round shops, even though feet still not properly healed & had to wear my "NHS" shoes & I restrained from Mcdonalds where I used to go regularly :o then £1.40 on apple lucozade to keep my energy levels up :rotfl: so grand total today £4.40

    Will try to have an early night seeing as won't be able to lurk on here late into the night, well after I've updated sig for weekly spend & then had another browse at DFW board, Christmas board, & then maybe the Moneysavers Arms
