    MOOZIE! :D

    Hello darling - how are you? I had to do a double take when I saw this thread started by you.....so good to see you again.

    Right well I spent £4.42 on some groceries & a job paper.

    That'll be it today....saving the rest for beer festival tomorrow, I have a budget of £20 and that's it for bus fare to town, entry fee, a few halves & a taxi home (well my share of taxi) and I refuse to spend a penny over.

    Wish me luck!

    A colleague was going out to buy a sandwich at lunchtime and, as I was really busy, I asked her to get me one too. 'What do you want?' she asked, 'Oh, pick me something nice' I said, handing her a fiver, as it was all I had in my purse.
    She came back very pleased with herself, handed me a Smoked Salmon & Cream Cheese Salad on a Sesame & Nigella Panini, and £2 change :eek:
    Well, at least it was nice, and the £2 coin is going in my collection....

  • :hello:Hi all, from sunny warm central scotland. As it's Thursday, and my dad visits every Thursday, it was a trip to the local shop, so 2cans of export for my dad, and because I can't let him drink on his own, 2cans lager for hubby and a bottle of merrydown for me total £8.32. I was going to be good today as well:confused:. Och never mind, tomorrow's another day, and I have been good all week.

    Spent £10.21 in Wilkinsons (flea spray....bluddy moggies, xmas pressie for niece(reduced from £7.99 to £3.74), WWF book for DS for xmas(half price), and two boxes of dishwasher tablets (bogof))

    Then £10.47 in Asda - onions, fresh basil, fresh coriander (kitchen smells heavenly now!), peppercorns, sea salt, prawns, yoghurts, tomatoes, low fat dressing, and a bag of salad - maybe this is TMI but I'm dead proud of myslf for shopping for fresh stuff and keeping away from chocs and ready meals :T

    then £3 in £ shop for paintbrushes and a plug in air freshener

    total £23.68 :eek:

    Hi all,

    Not spent any cash for the past 2 days as I've used my M&S voucher to pay for my papers.

    Today did the above again and also got 4 magazines but paid with my Boots gift card.

    Whoops completely forgot got a Kylie hardback book from The Works for £5. However it is still a saving as Amazon were selling it at a discounted price of still over £10.
