What have / will you spend today? Thursday 21 June

Morning everyone

I didn't keep to my target yesterday, as OH asked me to grab him a few beers on the way home, but I claimed back my expenses from working last weekend, so not really out of pocket (they were creative expenses!) :eek:

As we're moving and emptying the cupboards as much as possible, tonight I intend to make some sort of asparagus / broccoli cheesey pasta bake. Need broccoli (we've only got 1/2 a bunch of asparagus), say £1.

Have washed the covers of our 'won on eBay sofa' and it's come up very well. Am happy. Keep it low everyone, hope you all have a fab day

    Morning all!

    I had a NSD yesterday and am should be having another one today. I am trying to be as frugal as possible so the more NSDs the better!

    Btw dont know if you have seen the freebies board there is a link to apply for a voucher for four free bottles of Corrs! So free beer to give to OHs as a treat! (Well for me anyway I am not so keen on the stuff)

    :hello: sorry I started this thread elsewhere - I didn't spot this one - doh!

    Going to the Debs and Clarks sale, but unless I find something I lurve, then it'll just be 47p for a can of Diet Coke.
