    Evening all! Well i spoke too soon earlier, we've now had our fair share of heavy showers mixed in with the sun so my washing has also been in and out like the hokey cokey!

    No NSD for me, spent £7.32 in Mr S - had to get some washing liquid (2 bottles for £4), also some juice and picked up some dettol wipes and Sanex (both on offer and had 50p off vouchers for both too). Wombled a couple of till spits (double points and a £3 off £30) but did also get a £2 off £20 which i was hoping for. Busy compiling a list of things to pick up in Mr T this week when I get my cc statement - then can double up for £10 of cat food, plus a few more bits and hopefully do a Cheryl like saving at the til :D

    Caught up on the accounts from last week now - judging by what we spent last week, plus paying the TV license it will be beans on toast until pay day (good job I still have about 20 tins :rotfl:)

    Can't beleive i'm back at work tomorrow already - where does the time go?

    NSD number 3 for me today. Was hoping yesterday was going to be one too but I realised I'd forgotten a couple of things at the supermarket on Tuesday so I had to get them. Used my nectar points to pay for most of it though. If only you didn't need to use them in multiples of £2.50. :(

    went to DD's today - stopping en-route to return the emulsion that wasn't a colour that would work and pick up some more sandpaper and silkwood paint (not counted as a spend, as getting the house neat, tidy and clean is an investment in case I decide to go ahead and look at moving next year - and is also the last thing for me to do, mentally as well as physically, as 'moving on' since losing my hubby almost 3 years ago).

    then stopped at Mr A on the way home to return the duvet covers and get some flat sheets to sew into covers instead, and I also gave into a few cheap trinkets for the room to finish it off (also not included). picked up the peas and sweetcorn I put the pennies aside for yesterday (so not counted against today), but then gave into some Whoopsies so it ended up being a spend day anyway :o

    got some vine tomatoes, a pack of sweet baby peppers, a couple of packs of canelloni (just the stuffed tubes, and very nice they are too - had some for tea, and still got enough for another 3 days) and a couple of C&M pies. so as I was having to declare a spend I also picked up a pack of cheap scones (to go with some clotted cream in my fridge), some yoghurts (first time I've seen the limited edition coconut with a sprinking of dark chocolate from Mvller) and two Enchillada kits (normally £2.98 each, but 2 for £3)

    Good news - got my second NSD so that's a big blue 2 NSDs in the bag!

    Bad news - there I was at work, minding my own business, chewing on a peanut butter sandwich, when I felt something move inside my mouth. Then my crown dropped out.

    That means tomorrow will be spent trying to get an emergency dentist appointment to get it sorted and paying a fortune for the privilege.
