    I still managed to spend £3.50 on lunch today, even after I made my own to bring to work. Unfortunately I've been under the weather this week, so was pretty vague at 11am and had to scoff my lunch to avoid passing out...Enjoyed my second lunch though, but the problem is I buy the same crap every day. And it's really bad too, a wrap, samosa, crisps and an apple. Dreadfull!I think some drastic lunch planning is in order to avoid splashing out £3.50 every day for the rest of my life! (ok, i don't buy lunch every day, but it has slipped from sometimes to oftimes).Not going to spend anything else today and on the bright side, managed to drop another £430 on my grad loan this month. Take that crummy debts!

    :wave: Hi guys!

    I spent ages working out the best way to buy my Boots 3 for 2's in order to save maximum dosh on Christmas pressies and birthdays between now and Christmas - but I haven't actually bought them yet.

    I did have a scout round to see what some of them looked like "in real life" and ended up spending an extortionate 89p on a piece of shortbread with caramel and choccy on it. :eek: :o

    It was nice and all but I still feel robbed!

    There's a bit of a chocolate theme emerging for me this week.:o

    Love Jacks xxx :D
