    Hi all,

    Popped to Tescos to get my petrol - £15, although doesn't really count as DH gave me back the money for using my petrol/ car for his work yesterday.

    Spent approx £15 in Tesco (still to add up my 3 receipts) on apile of magazines, 2 x 2ltr value sparkling water, Tesco diet cola 2ltr, 1 x Tesco value birthday card, 1 X kELLOGS Bran flakes, 2 x baby short sleeve tops (50p each), 1 x baby hat (£0.50) and 1 baby short sleeve top and denim dress set (£2). Used £3.50 in coupons.

    Got The Sun paper with a free Sun voucher and got 2 points added for re-suing a bag. Also got a till spit which I will try to use in my next shop.

    Got a couple of till receipts with points added at customer services.

    Wasn't intending to buy any baby clothes but at that price I couldn't resist. :confused:. Hope one of my friends has a baby girl or more friends get pregnant. :p

    No more spending until tomorrow.
    Tesco points: 101 (£21.50, £19.50, £7.50, £21 & £5)

    Is it odd that I actually enjoy reading what people are spending their money on? I could just read for hours about how someone spent £1 on talc or £4 on fruit. Is that weird?

    Anyway, today I said I would spend £1.50 on Bread and Soap.

    Unfortunately, I did'nt realise:

    a) How much soap costs.
    b) That I needed some milk
    c) That I had such low willpower, and such a sweet tooth.

    I actually spent £3.65

    39p overspend on original items
    76p overspend on milk
    £1 overspend on tesco 3 for a quid sweets.

    Oh well, hoping for an NSD tomorow!

    Right - have just got back from Mr T's where I spent £7.48 on a 'fridge pack' of Tetleys Smoothflow. It's now in the fridge and I'll be settlung down to watch the match at 7.30. :T :T

    Have to be honest and say that I'm not sure that England can work the same magic against France as they did against Australia - but should be a great game, whatever the result. :beer:
