    Is this, or is this not, your OH - complete with biscuits?

    Hi all,

    I budgeted £50 and spent £41.96.

    Today I spent £10 on petrol and £19.86 in Tescos (lots of magazines, nappies, fruit, bread, 1x Tesco value sparkling water, Tesco vlue 12 value eggs, potatoes and ground coffee).

    Think I'll set myself £70 as I have spent about £30 of it today already and with Valentines day coming up...
    Tesco points: 101 (£21.50, £19.50, £7.50, £21 & £5)
    Boots points: £0.28
    Pigsback points: 715 (4 xBoots£10 & 1 xPizzaHut£10, 2 x £10 clothing vouchers)

    Hi Moozie and gang.

    Looking at my little book, I have managed 3 No spenders in a row....Go Me...

    My target was £40 and I have managed to spend only, £32.10.

    Target for next week will stick at £40 as it is half term.

    Had to buy a new toilet seat today (i stood on the last one and broke it:o ) which was £9.99, took DS to KFC for a treat £6.68 (we dont get much time when t#its just me and him) and also did my weekly shop at Mr Ts £46.07, spent a bit more than normal, but had some wine club vouchers, for extra points so thought i would use those up.
