    on a positive note.... didn't go to the pub at lunchtime so money saved there and bus fare into town (was raining rather a lot) has gone down by 50p so well, 50p saved there :T

    On a not so positive note, spent £23 odd in Mr T this morning then discovered I could have saved a £1 on ham I bought :( if I had torn the voucher out of the magazine lurking in the foyer

    also annoyed as didn't get a £5 off spend voucher that I thought i was due to get (and should have put towards my online shop last weekend) and can't check terms and conditions now as offer has finished.

    Also cashed in a boots receipt and got the 64p added to my boots card (did this on Monday) and got my phone credit in Mr T today (grrr :mad: forget about that spend) so 15 points extra on my rewards card:rotfl: rather than top up by debit card and get no points!)

    ummm think thats it!

    Morning everyone. Hope everyone is well.

    Well yesterdays spends were ok, i'm at least still green.

    £4 zumba
    £12 lunch and car parking.

    So i have £5, no planned spends today, so should remain green.

    Have a good day all.

    GROAN my new glasses are ready for collection. would rather put off till end of month when I get paid but see little point in this as only have to pay for them then....

    ended up spending £14 odd in m& $ on meal deal and few odd bits. will need to get some cream and accompaniments for a curry I'm cooking tomorrow so supermarket run tomorrow as well :(

    Did resist chocolate run in office and there was something else I resisted as well - can't remember what at the moment!
  • Well done on resisting chocolate run! I can never resist the cake table we have at work.

    Spent £8.86 on a cider for me and some beers for fathers day for dad so new total £13.86/£20

    Just spent £13.90 on a nerdy t-shirt for the BF for his birthday. He's got a nickname in his softball team, and coincidentally it's what I call him in front of my friends. I'll give you a clue - he's from America, and he's the team captain...

    Yeah, I got him a Captain America t-shirt :D
