    A bit of a long awaited update from me as I haven't kept up...

    Business first, I'm up to 6 NSD including today, as along as I declare then it means I won't go to the shop later tonight!

    I have spent a lot on the house this week, sainsbob are selling off some garden stuff really cheap, so that was monday gone! Friday I spent about £70 in the Argoose sale, and did the weekly shop, forgot salad leaves to go in our burgers so had to pop to the shop yesterday! I should also confess to the previous friday also spending £50 in the argoose sale for my bedroom... £120 in the sale, £300 at full price... not bad... well not too bad...

    Number 6 NSD today!!!!

    That makes my current theme tune as follows:

    Oh! I'm half way there,
    Oh! Livin' on a prayer.....


    I am a creature of the night tonight and tomorrow is DS's birthday so lots of fun and frolics ahead. If you don't see me on here don't worry, I'll be back to haunt the forums soon!

    Back from my Mr A shop - nearly didn't make it as there was a torrential downpour as I got there and I thought we were all going to float away!

    As usual I spent more than intended :o I'm also mad with myself as I picked up some frozen fish which I could have sworn were marked £1 (making them a read bargain), checked my recipt at home and they came up at £3 ...then checked the website and indeed they are listed for £3. So I don't know if I read a SEL for something else or they were infact £1 in more store, and CAN you return frozen fish???

    Also went in to use some vouchers, wanted to pick up some more dett0l wipes as they are 50p a pack with a coupon..and the guy on the till would only let me use one coupon, so I had to put everything in the car and then return the other pack of wipes to CS :o Was tempted to walk round and get another pack through SS but I couldn't be bothered at the time.

    Still, I did get my free :spam:, a free tub of philly, and they had some chopped toms, chilli beans and chick peas all on offer for 20p per can PLUS 6 for £1 :j Got some reduced sausage whirls for when our friends come to visit (BBQ) so they are tucked up in the freezer, and a pack of 18 Breakaways for £1.50 so not all bad. Oh and I wombled 5 receipts - bit of a challenge cos all the ones on the ground were soaked but retrieved these from trollys. Already a reasult with one that was from yesterday for 52p :j OH seems slightly mortified at me doing this (wasn't even with me) but I said 'well if you found £1 on the pavement you'd pick it up' and that this is kinda the same thing.

    So..no NSD for me - sorry Spoon...chuck me the kippers :o
