Need atleast another as I don't want to be unlucky!

Great, isn't it?! And all that tax you're not having to pay! How much have you saved in that 6 days (in true MSE fashion)?

Well, I would have smoked probably 2.5 pkts fags @£15.20 per pack (£38) and around 3 bottles of jd (£57) plus around 5 bottles of coke (£12.25) - £107.25 in total!! 😳🤦♀️ no wonder I go through my personal spend money so quickly!! 😱
