what have/will you spend Monday 6th August 2007?

Hope I'm not imposing by starting the thread today, but I'm eager to post then have an early night (early start this morn and tomorrow!)

I have had a NSD today. Good job I have no cash in my purse as there is a bakery right next to work and I'm always tempted when I work mornings!

Hope everyone else has had a NS or a LS day.

Hope PaP appears soon!

    Hi raph, Pap, and everyone.

    Today I spent nothing - to be honest I didn't enjoy it much. Never mind, I can smell sausages - time for tea. :j :j

    I too spent money, but in as DFW way as possible I hope :o

    My DD starts high school next month and needs a blazer, trousers blouses etc etc.

    Marks and Spencers, via Quidco for 5% off. Found a code for 10% off, and another for free standard delivery.

    Total spend £47, after discounts and cash back should be just under £40 delivered.

    No parking hassle or shopping stress - priceless :D :T
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:
