Day Four - our new lawnmower and finding a present for our friend

Posted on 1/8/2006 at 9:29 PM - Post Comment

I was at work today, Tuesday.  I walked to work with a colleague so didn't get a paper and chocolate on the way to work.  I went out at lunchtime to a small paper shop where there isn't a large range of papers and mags  to look for a gardening magazine.  They didn't have any! I got the cheapest daily paper again.  I'll have to go to a bigger paper shop tomorrow but my worry is that I might be tempted toget something such as a woman's magazine.  I go to the small paper shop because they don't have much there!

I went to Woolworths after work to look for vouchers and a box of chocolate's for our friend's birthday.  I got £15 worth of vouchers and a box of chocolates for £3.99.  I'd already saved the money for the present.  I've been saving a small amount every month for presents.  That will have to stop I'm afraid.  I looked at the women's mags but luckily there was nothing I wanted.  I might have been tempted.  I got a bar of chocolate for 49p just for a treat after work.  I didn't think about the money at the time.  I just wanted a treat after a long day.

I've spent 49p because I already had the money for the present.  My other half didn't get to the hospital today so he didn't spend anything.  Grand total spent today - 49p.  Brilliant.

We've decided to get a mega lawnmower - top brand called Hayter with good safety features and a very large grass collecter.  We already have money for that.  I'll find Hayter's website and you can see the lawnmower that we've got our eye on.  Hang on a minute!

Here it is:   www.hayter.co.uk

Our lawnmower will be £229 apparently so you'll recognise it.  Let me know what you think!
