    Hi there, just updated my signature after a little tesco delivery. I needed bread and milk and other bits and pieces including an easy tea as I've not been very well and today is not a great day. Glad to see so many on this challenge are doing well though.

I get one every month. I usually suss out with type of yogurt is on offer then print off for that type. Will be buying some tomorrow.

    BTW - does anyone know who's got offers on Branston beans ATM? Also, red fat mayo?
    Hate paying full price on those! ( well on anything really!)
    Had a Lidl shop today, but menus planned and that will do us till @ next Monday. Also went to FF from kitchen roll and Tunnocks Caramel Wafers 2 for £1.60 ( packs of 6) happy with total of £19.93 - just under £20 budget, yay!

    Just printed out a voucher for a free Innocent veg pot which will be used for lunch at some point this week, here's the link if anyone's interested: http://www.innocentdrinks.co.uk/vegpotofgold

    Off topic question: has anyone done a spa day? I'd like to treat my mum and regularly get offers from Wowcher and Amazon local, but I was wondering if anyone had any tips or hints (like do you actually end up spending the whole day there? I don't really fancy 6 hours in a sauna...)
