So yesterday was a very full day...I went to Belgium with Dad and saved myself some money:
1. bought tobacco for myself which would have cost £259 here, but was £88! saved £171.
2. Dad bought me all my food and drink...lush beef bourginone and chips. Yum.
3. Did not go the expensive way to my singing group (I was a bit late leaving due to the Eurpoean travelling, but stayed within my travel card limits instead of going into zone 1 to make sure I was on time, which I was sorely tempted to do, in the end I was only 15 mins late).
So a smiley for me please

Hi everyone! On day one I
- cancelled an insurance policy for card protection (I'd had it 10 years and never used it - not even the times when I'd lost all my cards and cash! - so figured I wouldn't miss it)
- started a pension!
- bought a Christmas present for my nephew
- got about 1 hrs' exercise (fast walking)
Didn't get up to 5 positive things but will do it today! :j
Good luck

Well done - I would've been too lazy and just let them lie around the house gathering dust
