K9sandFelines said:So I had a spend in Ald! on Wednesday, which I'm going to approximate at £13; because I can't for the life of me find the receipt or remember if I even got it from the self serve.
I went in there for uniform for DGD; but didn't separate the non grocery from grocery, thinking it's ok I'll need the receipt incase the uniform doesn't fit !!!
So, I can't even get it off my Google Wallet or banking transactions, and can only remember buying lettuce, potatoes, carrots and a face cream 😩.
I also have a Bread and Butter thing for Tuesday. So, I will add that now to my signature too.
So, that's a total of £21.50.
Which leaves me a few quid to spare til (and including the 12th)I found my receipt and actually spent £7.84 not £13. However today, I've got linseed and cardamom powder, so I can pair it with the easy peelers. So that was then £4.98 from the £5.16 I was under. So now I've got 18p to add back onto the signature, but I'm still a bit over
