    I had my first challenge success today :j :j :j went to co-op for loo roll, sugar, breaded fish for tomorrow and some bleach. Went to the reduced section picked up a few items and put them back :D I did bring home a jar of curry sauce though which wasnt on my list because it was 1/3 off :( I have a cupboard full of curry sauce but they are Pataks which aren't gluten free so DS cant eat them :( Still felt I let myself down as it wasnt a necessary purchase

    Congratulations on the mini-challenge success jakes-mum, have you put those pennies towards something good?

    Farmers market today at Bishopsgate so I had a lovely hog roast, this is definitely not helping my "going veggie" cause, but tonight I'm going to be MSE with my veg box om nom nom

    its just sat in the bank at the minute as I do all my shopping with my debit card now, that way if I havent got any money I cant buy anything :rotfl: im not suer whether to make it a payment against the overdraft, pay £2.20 off my credit card which messes up my nice round numbers or just ignore it for the minute until ive got enough back in the bank to bring down my overdraft limit and declare it on the challenge then :o

    Is anyone else confused :rotfl:

    I went veggie when I was younger and made myself so ill I had to go back to eating meat :( Understand now it was the M.E and the way my body burns food so quickly, but I was upset at the time :(
