Good morning everyone :hello: :hello: :hello:
Another bright (ish) start to the day here in the West Country - I hope it is fine wherever you are - especially if you are on holiday.
I'm starting the thread nice and early today - I woke up early - so might catch one or two of the 'early brigade' :rolleyes:
So don't forget - one and all - post your spends - large or small - we don't mind which - but most of all:
And have a great day. :wave: :wave:

Morning Rog - we are taking dd to a 'hands on ' farm today and probably get lunch out again so a rough estimate at £60.00 with all that.
I'm back at work tomorrow so hopefully no more big spends until next week when I am off again - damn school holidays costing me a fortune!
Have a great day Rog - I'll update later with actual spends.
Ooh nearly forgot Ive already paid 13.35 off my dorothy perkins card this morning. x xPay Debt by Xmas 16 - 0/12000

:hello: Morning everyone! Today I am travelling home on the train, and it will take me most of the afternoon. As a DFW there is no way I'll be buying expensive train food, so the day shouldn't be too expensive with a packed lunch and I've already pre-paid for the tickets. As I'm going away, I've left £5 on the table for OH to get beer tonight, and the only other forseeable spend is bus money - I estimate it will cost me £4.50 and will update later.0

It's a bit like that here, penguin, now that we've got the chickens - do you think I could charge people to clean up after them?
I could throw in a cheese sandwich. :rolleyes:

New business venture for you Rog - the price they charge for entrance alone and then there is the cafe and the gift shop which we have no chance of avoiding with a very alert 5 year old in tow! :rolleyes:
Then you could do a thread 'how much have you earned today!' x x:rotfl:Pay Debt by Xmas 16 - 0/12000

I have spent £25 on a new wallet. Didn't want to, but my old one was being held together with tape. Wanted a bright orange one, but they didn't have any in the shops I went into in Oxford Street, so got a blue one.
On the plus side, I've only just started spending my pocket money for August, as I was still using July money, so it doesn't seem as if I've spent that much if you see what I mean.
Not going to spend anything else today. Going to go straight home after work. Cook dinner and then slob in front of the telly.Pink Sproglettes born 2008 and 2010
Mortgages (End 2017) - £180,235.03

Rog: How's the non-smoking going?
Fine thanks - well, to be honest it is very difficult, but I purposefully have no smoking materials in the house - am chewing a liquorice root at the moment - it seems worse in the evening, but it's early days.
Glad you got there okay - enjoy your evening.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.
