Lol! As we speak, I am surrounded by the debris of me raiding the cupboards for chocolate, and it didn't stop at a bag of Minstrels.
Hmm, I might have to take a trip to Tesco as I love Muller yoghurts, and my fridge looks so bare at the moment. Do you ever just find though that you buy so many of the deals and BOGOF's that you have a random selection of food and not a lot to show for it? Once on an inspired trip to Sainsburys, I ended up with about 7 packs of pork ( I hate pork), 20 yoghurts and about 3000 varieties of Jaffa cakes (also not a favourite). Most bizarre :rotfl:
Do you also find that you can be sat chilling at home, or indeed working, and you just NEED to eat something, you don't even want it but you need to do something whilst you are just being. I am terrible for that, and despite being engrossed in a film or book I will still want a Dairy Milk or 5.
However, I am finding this site way more addictive. Before it was Facebook, but this is on a whole other level.I check back about 5 times in the space of quarter of an hour. I just can't stop lol!:rotfl:Total debt: £3400.

I'm not too bad with BOGOF offers as I don't really like food shopping so do it quickly. I am however a big chocoholic so have always stocked up on that but not at the moment as I clearly can't be trusted!!
I always eat out of boredom so am kind of looking forward to going back to work on Monday and taking my mind off food. I have had two weeks off work and have done nothing but eat, well thats what it seems like. I don't particuarly like fruit and yogurts or anything healthy really and I have a real sweet tooth so this diet is hard but I am getting there.
The Raspberry and Cranberry muller lights are quite nice actually and he mandarin one too.
I must stop talking about food as I am getting hungry again and have had about six glasses of water this evening so am constantly having to go upstairs for a wee. Oh well on the plus side running up and down the stairs is good exercise!:EasterBun0 -
Well...I was hoping for a hat-trick for another NSD, but I ran out of foundation this morning and I need to buy food. :mad:
Also, my best friend suggested going out for lunch once a week and I felt an internal sigh of doom. I told her that maybe once a week was excessive, but she was adamant. So, I am going to fight this one as I am determined to stick to my lunch once a fortnight rule and it's not as though I don't see her, I live with her
Plus, inner-city cafes are way too expensive anyway, money or no money. My best friend from home has invited me to Birmingham for sales shopping, which I have had to turn down. Also, quite soul destroying 
Ok, I am off to work, and I have set myself a budget of £20 for food and foundation, which I AM NOT GOING TO GO OVER.
I also need to tidy up big time, so I am going to get on my ebay account and sell my clothes.
I hope everyone has a great day!Total debt: £3400.

Meh, not the best day today. I realised I am going to have to up my grocery budget to £100, as all of my £40 went on foundation and food. I spent £30 on food but it should last me until this time next week. Also, very annoyed about Tesco. Now, I am not a whinging old woman but I bought two packs of chicken for £6 but the man didn't charge me the deal, and instead charged me seperately so my chicken cost twice as much as it should. Do you think it'll be a bit mean if I email Tesco about this? Been a bit of a disappointing day but then I did get all my shopping for the week as opposed to bits here and there. I still feel it could've been cheaper however.
Meh.Total debt: £3400.

My advice is learn to love home made soup. you can make it and freeze it in portion sizes so you always have a meal ready at home, soup os VERY GOOD for dieting and full of vits and so on, better still buy veg cheap and you end up with food that costs almost nothing! If you get a food flask then you can have hot soup for lunch all the time! Gosh I do sound sad lolDebt free and plan on staying that way!!!!0

I would complain to Tesco if they have overcharged you it really annoys me when that happens What type of soup do you like? I have recipies for Carrot and Corriander and Broccoli and Stilton, both really really easy to make (I don't do complicated cooking, infact I tend to assemble meals more than cook ):EasterBun0

Ooooh, carrot and coriander could be good, not a big fan of broccoli lol. Thanks, that'd be amazing!Total debt: £3400.
