    So:
    Free pizza - £1.50
    Free smoothie - £2.35 x 3 = £7.15
    Meaning I got £8.55 worth of stuff for free! :j
    And I wombled another 6 clubcard points! :j

    Twiggy I'm with you on the problems with your OH. I know you'd mentioned on my diary about him not being allowed to go shopping with you. It makes me wonder where the stereotypical 'women spending and hiding the bags in the wardrobe and men dishing out pocket money' cliches come from, when it seems the complete opposite reading all of the MSE diaries! It's the men that are the big spenders!! Hope you get his bulb switched on fully, I'm still waiting for my OH to figure out that the light actually works!!!! :rotfl:

    So true AleMrsT! We went shopping last night to get alcohol for xmas - honestly within 2 minutes of being in there he picked up some crumpets and used the "they're only a pound" line!


    EDIT - He hasn't even eaten the crumpets yet!

    Another free pizza in the freezer! However they didn't seem to have many at the store near my home so may have to stick to the one near my work. I like all this free food and don't want it to end!

    Well done on free pizza. Shopper thoughts if you google it you can sign up. I get surveys from them once a month for 75-150 clubcard points and every 6 months I get a 700 points one for just going in their store. If you cant get signed with them pm me i will send you link. I will also note I dont get anything for referrals :) x

    Ok so I seem to be a bit obsessed with Mr T! At the moment I'm going twice a day to get free pizzas and I think every time I've wombled a receipt! Today was 24 points plus 11p off my next shop! Plus I found another receipt with 4 points on but the dates been torn off so don't think I'll be able to use that one. I wont be going over the weekend as I don't have a printer so cant print off any more pizza coupons until Monday - I'm going to miss my new wombling ways!

    Meeting up with a load of my girl fiends tomorrow for a few drinks at the German xmas bar. Must not spend too much money - wont be hard as I don't have the money to spend! Getting the train so wont be too much in transport. Depending on what time I get back I may walk home from the station to save on bus fair which I reckon will take about 30 minutes. Alternative is about £6-£7.50 in a taxi which I just don't have at the moment. Really looking forward to it as some people I haven't seen for too long!

    Annoyingly I had to use £8.50 of my money for work expenses today as had to pay cash, whereas normally I put it on my credit card. However in some ways it does me a favour, if I don't have I cant waste it tomorrow!

    I paid £5 off my OD yesterday as SB paid out. Hoping that after pay day (Tuesday) CC will be under £6k, OD will be under £400, beds will be under £1k, parents will be under £400 and total debt will be under £8k! That will be a very good day hitting all those virtual milestones!:j
