    Friday I bought bread and some reduced things at the Co-@p and can't remember how much it was. I know it was under £10 because I got change. But DH and I went for a curry on the way home. He paid and used the change as the tip. So I'll call it the round £10.

    Yesterday was a NSD and I intend today to be one too. I made a tuna pasta bake that the recipe said was for 3, expecting DH to do his usual scoff monster, but there was plenty for both of us and enough to have with some extra veggies tonight. Mmmm.

    I love store cupboard cooking. :) though it does tend to make comfort food.

  • Hi all has anyone ever had shopping from ocado, my order online was cancelled friday and was given the option of making a new delivery slot. Then the order arrived and it gave me the option online of asking for a refund for certain items which I did as freezer stuff wasnt delivered as it was a 2nd attempt delivery and the banas were bruised and spring onions were old. Had an email to confirm my list of requested refund items and they will get back to me in 72 hours. Looked again at my ocado account and its saying my delivery hasnt been delivered and to arrange redelivery and they havent taken any of the money out of the bank? has anyone else had this situation or know if ocado usually take the money straight away as i know tesco and waitrose deliveries normally do and also the driver didnt ask me to sign anything? x

    Wow, that's outrageous! What's the betting that in the next few weeks they will suddenly put it on 'special offer'.
