    Another no spend day, porridge from the drawer for breakfast and last nights leftover sausages for lunch. Crackers (from my drawer) mid afternoon. Running low on food so dinner may be somewhat eclectic!

    Printed out quotes for BT/sky/tesco phone/internet/TV packages so I have the facts and figures in front of me to leave or get Virgin to match the price.

    Rooted out 3 more things to sell on ebay
