    Oh dear borollan! :rotfl:He was hoping to be helpful, I guess? ... I had a similar experience yesterday, looked at something in the Cyber Monday sales, nearly thought "yes" but in the end thought "no". Luckily no one picked it up and put it through for me! Well done you for putting them down though - that's self-control :j:j:)

    So... I almost avoided spending today. But ended up shelling out £3.13 - on a personalised card for my niece's birthday (using a discount code from the MSE latest email with Card Factory), some milk and a bag of strong white flour, so OH can start making our bread.
    Tomorrow looks good, as am working from home. And have finished scouring the MSE email now. :rotfl:
    On a positive note, just made £50 opening a new TSB bank account....:T

    Sounds like a pretty low-spend day to me, Optimistic Saver - in fact you're in profit with the TSB bonus! So you've done well :) :j
