    Today will be tough. A friend usually checks the (food) reduced section for me so the situation is buy now cheap/very cheap to avoid "overspending" later? Or is this a false insecurity if you do not really need the product immediately?

    Blew today's NSD :p was sort of expected though. Think we've got Alton Towers tomorrow too so doubt that'll be one. :o

    Doh! Bad start to the month! Took the kids into town to spend some vouchers. Got a game for a handheld console for oldest daughter, and then went into n**t, bought a top and leggings set and desperately needed jeans for her too. Cost me £2.50 in total. Which wasn't too bad but still rules out my nsd :( x
