    Kerri gt – Keep calm and breathe. Take the meat back, I wouldn’t risk it and take the cheese back too unless you really need it, it’s the principle. Funny how when you price check the two supermarkets they both come back cheaper than the other.

    Thank Freeby, was feeling a little :mad: yesterday to say the least - just the sheer frustration of careful planning down the swanny. Anyway, I took meat back today and got a refund - which was handy as I used some of it to buy a bottle of water since I forgot my bottle for boot camp - since water came to less than refund, still kept my NSD.

    Then, I emailled Tacto CS who called me back later (i was shocked at how quickly they called) and explained why it hadn't matched, and gift card in the post - no hassle at all, so I can keep my 'lower' fat cheese and receive my JTD as I'd hoped :jFeel a bit silly now for making such a fuss yesterday :o

    Boot camp again today, 2 mins each of various exercises including push ups, sit ups, star jumps, squats etc... :eek: this had better be worth it (although actually I do kinda enjoy it). Also means, since i was kept out of the town, NSD #11 :j Not sure if it's actually saving me money since I did have to pay for the camp, but I guess if I'm getting fit into the bargain it's worth it.

    I have managed to avoid spending any money other than paying for ebay postage yesterday. Without that I could have been on 15 :( I am being very strict with myself.
