    Another spend day for me :eek:

    Clocked reductions as I was leaving, and started off by picking up 2 punnets of grapes, a punnet of mushrooms, a cauli and some brocolli from the f&v section.

    Then round to chilled where I picked up 3xindividual Best Tiramisu, 4 packs of sandwich meat (one ham, one chicken and 2 of a polish one I like), a pack of 2 peppered steak slices, a pack of 2 c&m slices, a 1.35litre bottle of Inn0cent orange juice, a 1.25litre bottle of apple juice, a quiche, a bag of rocket & provola stuffed pasta, a 250g block of Best Cheddar, a ready made shepherds pie and a pack of cheese & garlic baguette slices.

    Since I was already spending (and not 100% sure when next d/debit goes out) I also picked up a loaf of bread as I'm running short!!

    Total at till was £6.61- cost to me after staff discount was £5.95 :T
    I do love finishing my shift as the reductions are being done....... other than I keep losing NSDs!! Having the discount card is just the icing on the cake ;)

    Already got lasagne and salad in for tea tonight (which I'm going to have the garlic & cheese slices with), so looks like one of the packs of slices with half the cauli & brocolli tomorrow, and the other slices with the rest of the veg on Saturday. Then cottage pie (with some frozen veg) on Sunday. And I've plenty of sandwich meat to go with the bread (plus already got pastrami for one day), so lunches are sorted. Getting short of porridge for breakfast, but have plenty of other cereals so will have to be sure to only have porridge on Mon, Tues or before a morning run to eke that out...... Got plenty of milk in for whatever though ;)

    Still thinking of nipping back down to work though, as there were a couple of things on offer I'd meant to pick up when I next spent - but I had a job carrying what I bought home with me so didn't dare get anything else :o If I do then I'll also pick up a couple of carrots for tomorrow and Saturday.....

    Good morning all!

    #4 please Spoon! I'm getting the hang of this now:rotfl:

    Beanie - glad you enjoyed the reiki. I'm a qualified complementary therapist and reiki practitioner, although I've not been doing any treatments due to health. Reiki is amazing, so relaxing and no it's not tickly Nicca!:rotfl:

    :rotfl:In my head you are your avatar Jinty so I wouldn't have put money on you being a complementary theraspist. :o Perhaps we need a "therapy of the day" so I can decide which I want to go for (uhm... I'd likely want all of them. Hmmm, that might not help the NSDs... ok, maybe I need to work a little on the concept ;)).

    Numbers 5 and 6 for me please. Yay. Hoping I will get one tomorrow but Saturday unlikely as heading to friend's parent's wedding anniversary BBQ so trying to think of a pressie!

    I always have the same happen to me BDINI it's like the adrenalin gets your body thru the stress then when you get a break it gives up!

    Anyway today was NSD 6 :j

    Just taking advantage of the fact my Vodafone dongle is actually working for once to go on the internet at home, its been at least 3 months since I last did this x 15 quid a month contract equals 45 pounds wasted!! Really must cancel contract!

    Evening all! Just dropping in - pooped!

    Well not a NSD for me...but hopefully some ok spends;
    • 2 x Colgate toothbrushes for OH 50p each Total £1
    • 1 x Velvet toilet roll £2 - 50p coupon Total £1.50
    • 6 packs of Disc*s reduced 10p each = 60p bought these for OH and also as they have the 1/2price theme park coupon on - thinking for when we have friends staying in a couple of weesk
    • Shop in Mr T £21.76...with coupons £10.16....would've been more off if I'd had more Whiskas vouchers (had two at 50% off) but they were still £3 a box without voucher, which was not a bad deal anyway. Oh, and got another of my moistureiser for £3 (norm £5+ :eek:)
    Total spend £12.66 :D

    Oh, and I got my free tin of Spam today too :T

    Have a Mr A shop planned for the weekend, but hopefully a day off tomorrow.
