    £2.08 so far, hoping for no more.

    £0.99 was on crackers for me lunch at work. Sainsburys in town more expensive than my big Tescos, but if I bought them at the wend and left them till I needed them, they simply wouldn't be there! One of the gannets would have eaten them. They should last me the week, so no more spends on them.

    £1.09 on one them shakey up iced coffe things. Bought in Sainsburys along with crackers. Should have resisted, but it was nice, so not going to beat myself up over it.

    Hoping for no more as I am not drinking during the week.
