Good Afternoon everybody :hello: :hello: :hello:

Is it he holiday season, or are we, heaven forbid, allowing this, one of the most important self-help threads on the board, 'daily spend' thread to die?

It's not about 'not spending' or even being frugal - it often helps to put your 'spends' down in black and white, so you can see where you have saved, or can save, money.

It's a thread which has been kept going by a band of dedicated DFWs since its conception, by the now legendary 'moozie' over two years ago, so please don't consign it to that great 'MSE in the Sky'.

The rules are simple - there are none. It's open to everyone - all you need to do is to say what you have or will spend today, whether budgeted or not. A simple way to keep a track of your spends and a control on your spending 'urges'.

There are no prizes, no numbers and no criticisms - just lots of encouragement.

So come on, everybody, post those spends - large or small - it doesn't matter, but just try to:
'Keep it Low'
I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

    Bought a cob at work and then some sweeties from the onsite shop. It truly is an evil place to work, we also have an onsite "Social Club" where many a lunchtime can be drank away
