Thought I'd start this thread today!

I've been good and brought my lunch into work today, and I'm planning to stay inside at lunchtime and go straight home home after work. So, a boring day for me but at least I'll have spent no money!

    will have to spend another £1 later today (printing credits at uni)
    but that will be it!

    10p today (which I owed the kind man from the newsagents yesterday), but I have bought my lunch in with me today, and no plans tonight, so shouldnt spend anything else. Miraculously I have £118.61 left until payday (next Thursday), so I will try and save most of that, as I have no plans to do anything, let alone spend that kind of money :0)

    I will either just "roll it over" to spend in November or save it (probably the latter), and put it in my travel fund..........

    Does anyone know when the next cheap listing day is on ebay??
