    I'm awake, just :0)

    Spent £1.55 this morning on a diet coke & eat natural bar. Thats about all today I think.... I have lunch with me & will be home tonight.

    Made another £15.00 on ebay, and returned my straighteners so thats a refund of £70.00..

    Its two weeks today until payday, but since I am a hermit this month with no life I am well under budget. Whoo!!

    Just been emailed two vouchers for two free CD's via Amazon which is fab - so just ordered them!! Also have another Avery Beauty Voucher to use. Yippee!!

    Must list my items on ebay today......

  • Having a rubbish day - haven't spent any real money yet but have got to go and get a few bits of shopping as we have nothing to eat. Really struggling for money this month even though I'm being tight with spending on food - why is life so expensive??? Also, DH informed me this morning the car exhaust is hanging off and it's in dire need of a service so had to book it into the garage so probably hundreds knowing our luck with cars!

    And....my ebay stuff is hardly making me any money, can't think of anything much to put on today on cheap listing day, especially nothing that will pay for the blessed car.

    Sorry for the moan all.......

    Spent 20p to give my son his tuck shop money for school.
    Day off work but not going out or I'll only spend money which I don't have.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Not too good a day today:

    20p to daughter for school snack,
    £5.00 in Boots on a meal deal for tomorrow and other various things,
    £3.00 on a secondhand yogurt maker (hopefully this will save me money in the long run),
    89p on a box of breakfast cereal,

    But I did put £100 in my ISA so that makes up for the spending I did :T

    I bought a banana and carrot but am actually fasting today (religious reasons) so will have them tomorrow - wasn't sure I could make it through without some fruit (oh ye of little faith!!) but so far have managed not to eat anything.

    I'm staying at my Mum's for a few days as I'm sorting out all my old stuff I left in her garage when I moved out. Now she's moving house, so I've gotta take my stuff or it gets binned!

    However decided to go shopping first as the high street is only ten minutes walk from Mum's house...

    Spent:

    £19.50 in Peacocks on clothes including a pinstripe suit jacket (for upcoming interviews, in the sale at £5 - bargain - I was willing to spend up to £30 on a jacket!) and a handbag to go with it at £3.50. Just need to get some flat black shoes for interviews, then I'm sorted.

    £1 on a pair of earrings in the sale from Dorothy Perkins.

    £4.60 in Holland & Barrett on mixed nuts, pumpkin seeds and some Green & Blacks chocolate, attempting to start eating healthily from Monday, so the chocolate is for Sunday night! :D

    £3.22 on toiletries from Bodycare.

    £2.49 on a Boots meal deal.

    Total - £30.81

    Won't be spending for at least the next two days as will be in the depths of the garage sorting through my mountains of stuff. :o

    Edit - might be going to the cinema later, so that will be another fiver or so...
