    How's the essay slowlyfading ?

    Hope everyone's day has gone ok. Confession time from last night's tesco raid.

    2x 2l Dr Pepper Zero BOGOF £1.45 - was going to get pepsi max but wasn't on special offer.
    Reduced stuff from the bakery total £0.75

    Total: £2.20 !!


    One of the guys in my team has just had his first baby so am doing a collection for him and will get him a little something, so I need to do that tomorrow. Though I have a plan, the mothers in the office said vouchers would be best, and I have £20 of Boots vouchers from pigsback, so I might put those in and take some cash out, then that way I won't have spent any real money. Does that make me seem really cheap ? I must pick up the card on the way to work tomorrow morning, but I can get that money back.

    Aw, what's up? The stupid boy?

    When are you off to Paris ciara? I went last year, was ace :)

    Today, following the current thread trend, I had a haircut :eek: :D Was an early birthday present, and I only did a half day at work which was also great

    No spending of my own money, which is always the best way to go ;)

    Have just bought a plug adapter thing for my holiday off ebay, but that's out of the holiday moolah again
