    Good morning fellow non spendy folk! :wave:

    Despite a raging hangover from consuming too much dandelion and turnip champers,mixed with copious nettle and onion aquavit,Cheffie has been slaving away in the kitchen to produce a heroic breakfast.
    Enjoy!

    It's in the Canary Islands between Spain and Africa and we are going in October so I hope it will be nice and sunny unlike Scotland in October :D Good luck with the NSD tomorrow :)

    You mean sunny, unlike Scotland any time of the year :rotfl: (sorry, couldn't resist, my OH is from the Bonnie land of Scot :))
    Back from having my eye injection and all is well. However, I succumbed to the temptation of the hospital coffee shop so no NSD today. Wish I hadn't done that because I paid stupid money for a coffee and a couple of biscuits whilst waiting for OH to collect me, and it was horrible - I think the synthetic cream must have been off because it didn't dissolve properly. A learning experience for sure.

    Eugh, off synthetic cream, sounds like something Igor would serve over a crumble. :eek:

    Few minor / essential spends here (ok except the £24 in tkmaxx but those are prob going back, new sports top and cropped joggers in their clearance section but a bit of a rush 'I want to spend and they don't have what I actually wanted' spend) as I'm no longer in town in the week I now have to plan differently. Still getting to grips with that one and how it has / will affect my spending. I do know I'm getting bored of Internet sites so that is good for the wallet at least.
