Got up early and went to the newsagents to get the first Sun on Sunday for 50p, in there I spotted an advert for SportsDirect who were selling adult England and Liverpool football shirts for only £4.99. Went into town when they opened and managed to get an England shirt and the grey Liverpool shirt. Was looking for a shirt to fit my nephew but there wasn't any in his size. I spent £9.98 on 2 shirts. Great value!
Went watching the rugby in the afternoon costing £12 and bought a programme as well when I was there £2.50. Was an entertaining game throughout with Oldham just losing out to Dewsbury 28-30. Might have to go again.

First day back in work, traffic was a complete nightmare! Ended up being nearly an hour late.
A few of my DD's came out, £22 to Specsavers for contact lenses, £7.09 to Green Flag for car breakdown cover, £132.64 car finance, £8.25 to sky protection cover still coming out despite cancelling this!

£4 was paid for the lottery syndicate.
£6.97 in Boots.
After work was a mad dash to the football, made it with seconds to spare, the game wasn't too bad, much better than Saturday but the game ended 1-1. Spent £2.70 on food whilst I was there. On the way home also stopped at McDonalds spending £2.97.

Sky TV DD of £34.20 was paid. Also got some interest from my Santander account of 94p.
Was stocktake day at work as was the last day of the financial year. Everything was going to plan until the goalposts were changed at the last minute and resulted in everyone trying to do things in a hurry when we had all day to get everything done properly. Lots of stress but everything was sorted in the end!
I had got £2.99 meal from Soho's and spent £1.79 in Boots.
Just before I finished work I got a call from a work colleague, because of all the stress at work and there was no work the day after a few drinks were required, we all ended up at a colleagues house and had a great spontaneous night. :beer:
