Quite a productive day
Started with a sore head but cleared that by doing a workout.
Had an email from Tesco saying I had £11 of clubcard vouchers due to expire in next couple of months. They were on an old account I no longer used. So I have converted £10 into £40 of restaurant vouchers. I am off out in a couple of weeks with a friend so they will help cover that
Food shop for the week done and cleared out my wardrobe getting rid of some old stuff. I have also been able to bring some clothes back into use as I can fit into them again :TJourney began May 2013
