Just a few odds and ends from the local shop, potatoes, milk, fruit and veg etc - total £5.27 - phew! Also had a £2.00 coin in the change so that went straight into the Piggy Bank. :p
:)The £2 Coin Savers Club = £346.00 (£300.00 transferred to Savings a/c)

    Hey GreenFingers! I also save my £2 coins!!

    Today I spent only £1 on 2 tickets for my kids 'winter celebration' evening. (Whatever happened to the good old fashioned nativity play?). :beer: Our school is very multicultural which is great but I do miss the nativity :rolleyes:

    Visited my mum and got given loads of (free) stuff, 3 steaks for tonight, a pair of pyjamas, stuff for the kids stockings, pistachios, dried mint, medicines, underwear from La Redoute that she ordered for me etc!! Also had a wicked breakfast and bought home a bacon sarnie for my lunch! :D

    £2.46 on a sandwich and chocolate bar.

    I STILL haven't managed to get into the making of my own lunc but had cereal at work whereas would normally buy something so that's a start.

    My excuse at the moment is that I am far too busy getting the house ready for christmas that by the time I'm ready to make sandwiches I'm knackered!

    I just spent £3.60 on lunch - grrrrrrrrrr!! I have no food in the house, so will have to buck up my ideas soon & do some proper food shopping, plus ive got another stinking cold, so everything is an effort at the moment :0(

    I cannot wait until the 23rd for some time off, I am exhausted. How I ever managed with two jobs is beyond me, hehe!!

    I've not joined this before!

    I've spent £381.02 today - eek! - but £379 was towards debt (yeh!!). £2.02 on my lunch. Considering I won't get home until 10pm tonight from work, and probably won't have tea, that's not too bad.
    Lightbulb moment - October 2005
    Debt at highest - £97,000 :eek:

    Debt now (15/06/07) - £83,908.47 (still :eek: but every little helps!)
    Debtfree Date - 2015 (but working on it)!


    2007 Comp Challenge - £360/£0 (I have no luck with winning!)

    £1 on photocopying and another £1 on printing at uni, but will be enough to get me to end of term (and hopefully well into next term...depending on how long this last essay is)
