Sorry for the lack of check in yesterday - I had a bit of a naughty day. clearing out my purse I found that I had two loyalty cards for the canteen at work with enough stamps between them to add up to a free meal. I made the choice to use them up and didn't take my dinner in - I can't feel too guilty as it was free! I have recovered though today and have got leftovers from last night's bacon pasta bake and home made cookies.Little One born 19/12/18

Nellie that sounds like a brilliant is of loyalty stamps, I've got a full McDonald's coffee card somewhere for emergencies.
#6 3/12 it's not the end of my work day yet but I have no money on me, eaten my lunch and filled up my coffee flask so I'm confident to count today. I prepped a couple of meals yesterday in the slow cooker so brought that.Taking on the world one debt at a time!!!
