    I love my new job the people I work with are all lovely and it's so easy not to spend there as no shops anywhere near so I have to take lunch everyday :D

    I am still training but actually start my job on Friday, to be fair it seems easy enough and I like the job.

    Day 2 of NSD's for the month so doing well and determined to smash my target by a huge number and pay some debts off. I get paid the last day of every month so most of my debt busting will have to be done then :T

    I put an order into approved foods last night but I'm not going to count it as a spend day until it arrives I got 96 bakin boys flap jacks for £7.99 and even I can't make then that cheap :j we eat a lot of flap jacks but they will last us about 3 months for me and dd. I got some fudge and toffee that's still in date until feb next year for mum and dads christmas hamper and by then they will have eaten in :rotfl: and jam that's in date until 2013 so that's some other bits got.

    So far for the hamper I have got:
    • bottle of sherry
    • bottle of port
    • bristow toffee's
    • bristow fudge
    • blackberry jam

    I think it's shaping up nicely. I am allowed to have some stuff from work so 2 of those are going in too and will be free (sorry don't want to say where I work so that only makes sense to me) :rotfl: so far the hampers cost about £8 which I'm pleased about.
