Had a lovely lunch with friends. Very disappointed with not being able to walk very far though. Bought a jacket from M&S 20% off then used the £50 gift card which brought it down to £10. Then went to Debenhams and got a jumper also 20% off, used a gift voucher and only £4.40 exchanged hands Had to keep sitting down to rest then gave up and went to meeting venue early, got myself a glass of wine and sat reading the paper until my friends arrived.
Absolutely exhausted now, foot is throbbing.
I don't shop til I drop I drop before I shop
Try saying that after a glass of wine! Christmas Savings 2024 £252.38/£600 April NSD:2 April Surveys £0 -
Before I forget - today's spends:
£26 cut and blow dry including tip
£4.50 coffee and cookie
£10 jacket (which started out at £75)
£4.40 jumper (which should've been £18)
£11.20 lunch including wine (bargain!)
£9.15 Sainsburys - this included a box of wine they were selling off for £8.34 - only went in for a loaf of bread!
So not too bad considering.
Only trouble is with pub lunches, when you eat healthily like I do, they are often very salty, so have been drinking water like it's going out of fashion!Christmas Savings 2024 £252.38/£600 April NSD:2 April Surveys £0 -
Glad you had a good day.

Trying to have a more restful day today. Have cleaned up the whole house but only a quick clean not a deep clean.
Today's spends Mr M order at 7am this morning £56.85, £2.70 for lotto and paper and 15.30 on taxis to and from kitchen place, was only there 30 minutes! Mr SA kept butting in with daft ideas then got mad when I tried to stop him making a fool of himself by prodding him with my crutch.
DS is bringing the grandkids round in a bit. Which has reminded me of another spend today - £20 in his OH's birthday card!
Mr SA is having the other steak from the M&S dine in deal tonight, I'm having a stir fry. Looking forward to putting my feet up later.Christmas Savings 2024 £252.38/£600 April NSD:2 April Surveys £0 -

Evening SA,
So glad you had a lovely day out yesterday, even if you didn't shop until you dropped so to speak! Like the sound of your bargains.
Haha to you prodding Mr SA with the crutch :rotfl: xxMummytogirls x0 -
I now have Dory from Finding Nemo singing in my head, but instead of "Just keep swimming", she's singing "Just keep prodding" :rotfl: XxDebts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j
