    Well today I have:

    * Done C&S online
    * Taken lunch into work
    * Used some extra points vouchers in Tescos for things I needed anyway
    * Got a free "Bag for Life" which will help me get extra green Tesco points in the future (oh yes, every little really does help :rolleyes: :D)
    * Did a load of washing with reduced powder & used soda crystals...hung washing out on line in very strong, but bl**dy freezing wind!
    * Bought soya milk from Tesco as it's cheaper than Sainsburys....lugged it back to the office on foot in the wind...I needed the exercise anyway...:rolleyes:
    * Checked online banking and got my spreadsheet up to date.
    * Got a lift to & from work: no bus fare :j

    Made dinner from the stuff in the freezer. The scary thing is that I haven't bought any food for me since I found this site other than fresh stuff - bread, milk and fruit.

    Took a colleague on the road with me today. Not only was it interesting, but he has a more liberal expense account than me, and he bought me coffee, and lunch. Got home and grilled some yellow label chicken, but I did buy a bottle of wine on the way home. Still, mileage will pay for that.
