What did you spend today? 26/10/05

Today i've brought lunch to work in the form of 4 clementines, 1 banana and a yogurt.

With 12p in my pocket i'm pretty limited to the damage i can do...
I like to save the money...

    Hello....

    Been to the gym (monthly subs), bought magazine (60p), got my lunch with me today (bagel, phile & leek/potato soup), then tonight it will be gym again & tv.

    So just 60p......

    I really need to get my hair coloured/cut. My old flatmate is a hairdresser & she can do it for £50 (half what it costs in any salon round here, esp for highlights). It does look a mess at the moment, but wondering if I could put it off for a bit longer... but then I also think that could be my "treat" to myself for becoming debt free, plus I have £100 left over this month, so I do have the money.

    Hmmm, decisions, decisions!! xx

    today is a big spend day for me :(
    I'm writing a cheque for £35 to have two theses bound, plus I've got to post them off through royal mail. Still, unless the postage is more than £15 (unlikely) I'll have money saved as it's £25 per copy to get them bound here in london.

    Walked into work but then spent the saved bus fare on a large cappucino (£1.15), brought my lunch with me, need to pop to the shops tonight to buy some creme fraiche and some more milk.

    Not spent anything yet but my cleaner is here so £16.50 to pay ( worth every penny) and I am going out to see a customer later so who knows what temptation lies ahead..I have to drive past the Trafford centre to get there :eek:

    Bought a book off Amazon, its for my OH.

    So just £6.83....hopefully it'll stay that way.

    Have had 2 dvd's arrive from a free 2 week trial....a bit nervous that I'm going to not cancel in time and have to pay so I'm going to have to keep a close eye..

    Nothing yet, but need some fruit for lunch (brought home-made tuna mayo rolls and a packet of Wotsits with me) so that will about 40p.

    Have to buy a train ticket to London later, but that will be paid for by work, and I'm going to a 'do' where food adn drink will be free! Hurrah!

    Went to the gym last night and did a circuit class so reckon I have space for all those fatty nibbles! lol

    well postage only cost £7.10 and I used an old padded envelope so no outlay there. Have saved myself £7.90 over having them bound here in london, plus the bother of then carting them up North this weekend!

    Have just spent £200 on eBay!!
    BUT it's for an electric piano and they are £900 new and most of the ones on eBay were going for £400 so it's a BARGAIN. Honest.
