BOGOF

I saw an inspired piece of shopping today in Sainsbury's. An old bird behind me bought about 100 packs of Real McCoy crisps. As the spotty checkout boy scanned in the items, the lady said he'd got the price wrong as they were on offer. She then proceeded to give him the piece of plastic which was attached to the shelf, with the Buy One Get One Free (BOGOF) offer written on it.

New Year Challenge: April

March was a disaster. I didn't knock up a new recipe for every week of the month, and neither did I do a bit of yoga every day. But, I did get back into going for a run (outside, as opposed to the gym's running machine), at least once a week.

So, this week, I'm aiming to keep a check on all my money spending and TV watching. I don't know why, I just am...
