Big(ish) spend day today :eek:
- Mobile phone D/Debit (which is why the rest of the spending happened today
)
- L!dl to get something for OH that I'll get the money back for - so doesn't count
- A £ store for a sewing kit (lost mine!) and some hooks for the bathroom door as the screw hooks are about to pull out (the doors are hollow and I never intended for DS1 to put a heavy dressing gown on them). I got stick on hooks to cover the holes, and overdoor for him to put the offending article on
- C@rd Factory to get 2 of the cards I still needed for this year (valentines and OH's 50th). Just 3 more to get (Mother's Day, Father's Day and parents anniversary).
- Wilk0s for some picture hanging wire - money for this to come back from DS1 so doesn't count. Years since I was last in there, and plan to go back for a better explore when I have more time.
- QS for a microwavable soup mug (making up a packet mix from my 'stores' every other day, so need something to store & reheat the second portion in - and currently hogging my decent Tupperw@re tub!)
- Mr T for a few bits and bobs - and petrol which is an allowable spend, and which was noticably cheaper than previous fill-ups (5 weeks since my last)
- Mr S for a small (100g) tub of baby talc for my gym kit
- (Mi!!es for cookies - but this was only the 2nd box of 12 I prepaid for last Oct/Nov, and as they're prepaid they won't count as a spend
)
- C0stco for vitamins which are currently on offer (and some Dolmi0 which was on offer for DD - again money to come back so doesn't count)
Hoping I can bring in 3 more NSDs over the next 3 days. I'd forgotten I had a dental appt next Monday (will cost me so that's a spend day - may use it to go and check out Wilk0s again), and I now also have an optician appt on Tuesday which will almost certainly make it a spendier day than today as I can't see me getting away without another change in presciptionI'm not actually due in until the end of the month, but over the last month it's been taking my eyes longer and longer to wake up every morning - which is exactly what I was experiencing before my last check at the end of last Jan (I'm on a 12 month recall due to big changes every year for the last 3 years).
