    We finished last week with a few spends:  £2.50 and £18.52 in L!dl, plus  £16 in Sainsbugs.  Also, DH spent £2.40 on YS items in MrT’s when he went to spend our expiring Clubcard vouchers.

    MOST IMPORTANT THING TO NOTE:   Martin’s trick of buying something cheap on a Clubcard voucher, forcing it to roll over the balance, didn’t work!  The cashier insisted that he spend all a voucher or nothing.

    I’m declaring at £179.70/£202.30


    leaving £22.60 to roll over to September.

    To say that my DH was less than impressed, would be an understatement @2childmum2 .  Thanks for confirming re the self-service tills.
