What Have You Spent Today? 8/11/05

So far so good, managed to drive straight past my local shop where I usually spend a couple of pound on goodies for the day and a paper.

    Hi All.

    I am going to try and spend nothing over the next few days, as I have been spending too much lately on junk, and not bringing lunch in *slap my wrists*. It really makes a difference, and if I can get through the week not spending anything then I dont feel so bad treating myself at the weekend...

    We are being taken out for lunch tomorrow with work which will be nice, and a treat. Aside from that just hoping to have a quiet week & weekend as Im not feeling too great :0(

    Have a good day xx
  • Wow Jamiedodger, good bargain :T

    Ms_london hope u feel better soon.

    Not planning on spending any money 2day as DD is poorly so not going to take her out :(

    Have a good day all :D

    Spent £4.40 on the gym this morning (I have a payg membership, did look at upgrading but I'd have to make nine visits a month to break even, and really who am i kidding!). Walked past the coffee stand this morning, so that's another cappuccino resisted! got my lunch with me, need milk tonight, hopefully that will be that!
