Most major spend today was at Kwik fit.
I, being the non car minded dumb blonde that I am, marched into Kwik Fit and said I need two new tyres and to my suprise, instead of the bloke saying ok and just replacing them, he actually came and looked at them and said I didn't need them! He said he would be able to repair the puncture instead.
So instead of paying around £80 for two new tyres it only cost me £17-50.
So I gave them lots of cakes for being honest and not ripping me off.
Bloke seemed really taken aback.0 -
£30 on hair cut cos couldn't bear it any longer and had left it as long as I could £8.35 in Tescos £2 for daughters lunch cos haven't bothered to get packed lunch stuff lately Depressed!!Here dead we lie because we did not choose
To live and shame the land from which we sprung.
Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose,
But young men think it is,
And we were young.

Nothing for me again today, but I only have the money that is left in my purse (approx £10 in change) until my first job seekers allowance payment comes through, not sure when that will be...0

Hi,
This is my first post here, I've been following Martin's advice for a while and reading this fab forum!!
Anyway, today I was very good and spent:
£1.62 to send two items I sold on ebay to their new owners.
£2.42 in Tesco Express on a local paper, a Daily Mail, a bag of peas and six boxes of 10p Birds Eye Potato Waffles.
Looking forward to posting loads more.A minute at the till, a lifetime on the bill.
Nothing tastes as good as being slim feels.

Just under £20 on my dental checkup and clean...
Then I had to get travel insurance for the kids as they are too old for a family policy so just over £50 for the annual policies with ski cover.0 -
River Island - £59.99 on some black ankle boots exactly the same as the pair I have in brown as I liked them so much (paid in gift vouchers I brought through Ebay using Paypal so no real cash spent)
Boots - calendar at £2 (paid using my AC points), quite pleased as CD:Wow ran out of calendar I had brought so cancelled my order and refunded me back £2.99. Managed to save 99p in the process. Again no real cash spent.Tesco points: 101 (£21.50, £19.50, £7.50, £21 & £5)
Boots points: £0.28
Pigsback points: 715 (4 xBoots£10 & 1 xPizzaHut£10, 2 x £10 clothing vouchers)
Mutual points: 3417 (redeemed 8250)
Rpoints:redeemed 28925 points)Cashbag:£8.91(£20)0 -
Again, a grand total of £0.00 today. I managed to sell some Lego though, which made me £15. Unfortunately, this is countered by the fact I lost £30 betting (same story that I mentioned over the last couple of days). May be getting £22.07 to minimise my loss, but the company is a bit shoddy, so not counting my chickens.
Live and learn I guess...Personal ISA Contributions Challenge - current £0 (as at 1 April 2014) / target £15,000 (deadline 31 Mar 2015)0 -
£9.10 train ticket to uni
£2.75 lunch
£3.84 Co-op (milk and stuff for sandwichs etc)
£2.49 Holland & Barrett Sea salt for my bath
97p Anti histamines Wilkinsons
So a little bit today, but not too much0
