    Dunno if this is any use but there is a website which tells you the cheapest place to buy petrol (not being a driver i don't know the name). Don't forget good old pigsback for daily clicks as well, it doesn't pay much but as Mr T says "Every little helps"


    It is petrolprices.com

    Very useful, especially if you are filling up several times a week, although it doesn't take into account clubcard/nectar points etc....

  • Good this diary lark isn't it. It is like confessing on a daily basis and definately makes you think before you spend. Well it does for me anyhow. Was reading about you doing the catalogue drops. I just did one for Thomson direct and found it totally exhausting. Dunno if I would do it again tbh.
    Keep up the good work.

    October 7th - day seven - spent £12.00

    Drink - £10.00 - I seem to remember buying a round and then half a round so this is an estimated figure but probably isn't far away. Also includes a pound entry fee for a quiz which me and the guys came second in and won eight free pints.:beer: :beer:

    Football match subs - £2.00. Twins played football for their team yesterday so that's two lots of £2.00 but the manager gave me one lot back as I refereed both matches.

    Referee-ing: That'll keep you fit then Martin!!!

    Can't say that the 8+ pints afterwards will have done you any good at all on the weight loss front though!

    Good fun though! Any nice women in your pub quiz?!
