    Things for today:
    Not spent any cash today.
    Used my M&S voucher to buy paper.
    Got The Sun from my mum instead of using one of my free Sun vouchers.
    Returned bathroom cabinet which I brought at the weekend thinking it was 10% day. Will buy it again this Fri/Saturday thus saving £5.

    That's all for today.
