    Wow - sounds like we've got a good one going here:j
    Yesterday was a NSd for me, but today put £3 into collection for flowers for a colleague whose mum has just died. So I spent, but like beanielou's NSd - not for good reasons.

    Wish you lot woudn't talk so much about chocolate - holiday in 4 1/2 weeks time & I must loose 2 stone by then:rotfl: :rotfl:

    The ebay/quidco thing is quite tempting though - for fat lass frocks!!

    Welcome to CAFCgirl's hair - does it have its own £10 per week??

    Did you ever get your conditioner??

    PS Managed to cancel cc no1:j and I had over paid so some money to come back!!

  • so far so good with the challege. Spent £4 on petrol to take the kids for a day out as last day before going back to school tomorrow. Went to the Safari park but used tesco days out vouchers. Did feel really bad though when there was a big queue at the ice-cream counter and my two asked for one. I had only taken my debit card for emergencies but may have cracked and bought them one if I could have found a cash machine. Managed to side-track them with the "bug house" and went a different way back to the car.
    unneccesary spend challege £10 this week £4 petrol for day out
