One for today. Booked a dentist appointment for September £86 for a check up
Really need to find somewhere accepting new NHS patients. Also sorted my car insurance, £200 cheaper than it would have been if I had let it renew automatically and it has breakdown included. Same supplier too, madness.

Declaring a 4/20 NSD MondayHowever I did spend, but it wasn't my money I spent!
I collected a prescription for my neighbours dog and I was also exceedingly MSE on finding the best priced deal online for a holiday of a lifetime for one of my mother's dearest friends
They popped over to see me and I said have a coffee and leave it with me. Next thing I say: "How does 50% off the price you've been quoted by the travel agent for the same hotel, package, and dates along with better flights sound?"
All booked, confirmed & printed off in 20 minutes
I've enjoyed helping others spend their money wisely today
