    Bad,bad day for me. Been ill all week and had nothing in house for lunch, so went to M&S for a sandwich.Ended up spending £10!! Arghhh! Consoled myself with the thought that the very expensive fruit salad was actually medicine that would make me better. Boo

    Woo hoo! You know I said I wanted to keep the shopping <£50....or really <£40 if possible?

    It came in at £34.47! :dance:

    That was stocking up on a few bits as well so we shouldn't have to buy any more loo roll, cordial, fabric conditioner for ages. I'm a happy bunny,

    Evening all - how fab to have so many of us on this thread today :T

    It IS great, isn't it - but I've always said this is one of the most important threads if you really want to keep your spending in check.
    I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
    If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.
