  • So far have spent £2.00 today on bus fair. Would have walked it but the road through is closed off and have to take the (very) long way round via bus.
  • Haven't spent anything since Friday despite hunger pangs on the way home tonight. Totally forgot my fruit today - I'm spoilt the rest of the week & don't like leaving the house so early!
    Still wish I could buy a TARDIS instead of a house!
  • Does it count if a bill came out of your account?

    If so, £371.57. If not, £0!

  • Bought a wall mount for tv 14.99 at Argos. A little disappointed as I paid for it by card and am trying to get in the habit of spending only the cash I have.

    Ms_london, :T
    I am sooo pleased for you! I well remember when I paid the last of my debt. I had £60 left at the end of the month and that money was now
    MINE!
    It was a carefully planned debt, so it was no surprise when I saw the end of it, still the feeling was unique!

    Anyway... Today I spent £4.85 at Pret A Manger in Kensington High Street Station. I had already decided I would have lunch there as I can sit in peace and spend an hour doing pressing paperwork, so this expense was budgeted for. Other than that, nothing, as I had already a full fridge.

    This evening I have cooked myself a pasta dish (the way only we Italians can) and the total cost is very low if you do the whole thing yourself - ie. no ready sauces from the supermarket - and a lot healthier if fresh organic ingredient are used. Add the fact the the only pasta I use is wholewheat, plus there is a good dollop of freshly grated parmesan, and you have a very nutritious meal at a fraction of the price you would pay for the equivalent ready-made stodge from a supermarket. No offence to those who like ready-mades!

    Oh, and I found a petshop which sells millet sprays 20p cheaper per bunch than my usual one. So that's another 20p per week saved from now on, that is £10 a year!

    :beer:
    Be careful who you open up to. Today it's ears, tomorrow it's mouth.
