Just for anyone that mentioned the intelligent foundation (I’m sure it was here right?) you can get 3 for £28 ordering online at boots as it’s 342 and 15% off when you buy 2. Not encouraging anyone to buy but if it’s something you use then worth a look!
After a rough weekend of exam revision and a moaning teenager plus a difficult therapy session this morning I took myself off for a walk in to town and treated myself a little- I got a little plant, some tulips, a couple of art pencils and a freddo bar. Grand total of £15. It’s been very therapeutic taking up drawing again today. The rest of this week will be more exam stress plus one of the kids having surgery so I felt the need for a little treat.
I love spring flowers: tulips and daffodils really help brighten up the place. Not expensive either - love bunches of daffodils for £1 from Tesco
There is also a code for another £5 off so I got 3 intelligent foundations and 3 hair products for £36. Well chuffed, thx
Oh I may need to treat myself, I have £35 on my advantage card but also get double points due to it being my birthday month
So technically it would be free and no spend!!
tit day at work. I was tempted to swing by Boots for a peruse to cheer myself up but resisted. Just thought, I would rather add to my pot of money in case one day I decide to walk out. That is a cheerier thought than yet another blusher or lippie.
Oh guys. The local crackhead shoplifter has found out where we live. Is at the door multiple times a day. Not doing my saving efforts any good ffs. Well saying that we needed an intergrated cooker and his only gone and sold us one for £20.
Ooh what’s the code?
Weird post, boasting about this.Not doing anyone’s saving efforts any good either. Shoplifting just means the stores put money on other stuff to make up the losses.
NO7SAVE5Ooh what’s the code?
So I got a 342 plus 15% off plus another 5 off.
These are products I would have bought anyway and will definitely use. It's not a saving if you buy and don't use it.
How can you shoplift a cooker, it’s not like you can put it in your pocket!
For coffee lovers M&S do a latte flavoured milkshake which I heat up, it's a little on the sweet side but very nice and oddly cheaper and better than the Aldi and Lidl versions @ £1.50

Seeing friends after work today. Instead of getting an overpriced pastry that won't even fill me, I've packed a cheese sandwich to have for my dinner instead. Saving my money for one of their fancy mix herbal teas 
Ya see, your redefining what exactly a treat is!! This is what I am trying to do too because I realised I was doing certain things on autopilot. Like I would still get a nice coffee in a cafe but I never enjoy the buns and that in the places that have the best coffee and... I'd rather just get the coffee if I'm honest!!Seeing friends after work today.

I'm seconding this - how did he get it out of the shop?!How can you shoplift a cooker, it’s not like you can put it in your pocket!
This was my first thought too, but also I don’t have a local crackhead shoplifter so I’m no expert.I'm seconding this - how did he get it out of the shop?!
If you’re ever short on transport, lads once knocked on to offer my husband the police car they’d just robbed. We’re at a different address now but I’m happy to give you the What3Words of their mam.
(Love this thread, btw.)
I've just set up a 'space' on Starling Bank with a savings goal. I've set an automatic transfer per week, and also put save the change on too. Used that years ago but it used to annoy me that my savings balance wasn't £x000.00 
However I'm going to give this a go and see if I can forget about it and let the auto savings do its job. Can obviously add more in if needed but I like the aspect of taking the money without you having to do it. Reminds me of the tax on my payslip haha

I received an online clothes order today - 2 items, one has a small hole, the other reeked of cigarette smoke and was missing its tags. I called the helpline to let them know (I don't want to get knocked because they think I took the labels off and walked it through a tabacco factory). The lady on the phone apologised and sent the order out again without the additional shipping fees. I was pleased to learn that one of the items now has a lower price (yay!), but I wonder if they will refund the shipping fees for the original order too, seeing as they sent out faulty stock and it was returned in full. That would mean I saved 10 quid.
The not so great news is that I have to buy a new set of sport glasses and the gits on the national board have raised tournament fees.
