  • Hi Yesterday was NSD today £4,57 in tesco. This was Jar of coffee, tin of tuna, 2 xcream doughnuts (only as they were reduced for quick sale) and Hello magazine which has a free bar of Lindt chocolate. Nice leisurely, fattening sunday afternoon ahead lol
  • None today so far, yesterday about 6 quid on tea, apple juice and a brownie but it wasn't my money it was my friends whose kids I took out so doesn't really count. Friday was the biggest burner though 16.05 on a train ticket 10 on a taxi (unavoidable no collection as my friend couldn't leave the sleeping kids to collect me) and presents 10 in Wholefoods and 6 in Muji.

    Next week no spending for sure. I'm going to have an incredibly frugal week and it's payday on Wednesday about bloody time.

    Ended up spending 91p in Tesco yesterday on tinned tomatoes, tuna and an onion (it's been all minestrone soup and pasta for me this weekend). NSD today cos I've got nothing to spend, get paid either tomorrow or Tuesday.. don't really need anything anyway, spending the day doing some cleaning and tidying up my new garden.

    So much for a no spend day today. :eek:

    Popped to Tesco as I remembered some things I needed - spent £33.81. :eek: :eek:

    Oh well - most of it was stuff I'd need to buy tomorrow on main grocery shop anyway and I did stock up on cheaper soya milk so....not all bad.

    :wave: Hello lovelies!

    Well...I've spent loads today. :p

    We ran out of tea early at the car boot and had to buy some (a few times). Later on when it all slowed down, we had a round of bacon butties and chips :eek: too.

    It was blimmin' freeeeeeeezin' though! :snow_grin

    And we weren't even out of the car before people were opening the car doors and having a root around in our stuff! Why do they do that???? We were there two hours before the sale officially opens !!!!!!! :mad:

    One woman actually got in the car and clambered over my daughter! (I'm afraid she fell on her @r$e on the cold ground when I pulled her out of my car bodily by the scruff of her neck. :D )

    I mean blimey..we all love a bargain, but :eek:


    And we're doing another one next week...


    (I'll break out the riot gear.:rolleyes: )

    Also, I've got to nip to the shops for packed lunch things and cat food, and I've just given my daughter £8 to go to the pictures to see Stardust.

    (But if you factor in that we made £212 at the carboot it doesn't sound so bad!)

    Love Jacks xxx :D
