how much did you spend today - 1st November

Today I spent £1157.48 before breakfast! I couldn't wait to make my first credit card overpayment and so logged onto my internet account while my porridge was cooking! :T :T :T

My bad day of spending was last night rectified by a most successful store cupboard challenge dinner of lemon risotto with mushrooms and broccoli, although i was a bit gutted to find my homemade bread crawling with ants this morning. pesky blighters!

Just off to update my signature with the latest debt totals. Happy moneysaving!

EDIT

OOh and I've just noticed that I've been upgraded to a regular money saver too! I feel so proud of myself!

    It may be too early for beer but it is never too early for a G&T!

    Morning...
    Just had my groceries delivered so have spent £70.39.
    Not planning on spending anything else.....
  • Not spent anything yet. I am debating spending £31 on some more bike lights for my bike. It's suddenly got all dark in the evenings and I don't want to die cycling home. I have one good light but don't think it's enough and want a second set for the pitch black roads I have to cycle down!

    I have just talked my bloke out of us getting a chinese on Friday night, then him taking me out Saturday night. So that should save him money, if not me!

    Haven't spent anything yet, but Online shopping coming tonight should be around £70, but am hoping that it will be my only big shop of the month.
  • So far today, I have spent precisely £0.00 - hopefully, it will remain this way for the rest of the day!
