  • I've spent 37p on two bananas. I've brought my lunch in with me today, and the fruit will stop me getting tempted on the way home tonight from buying expensive chocolate bars at the train station.

    I made a big batch of bolognese sauce last night, so shouldn't have to buy anything else today.

    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.

    £6 as need some new undies.

    But that was it as I went in to Boots got couple of reduced items that where on BOGOF so got one free and paid with 299 points.

    Walked the mile and half in and out of town so no bus fares or petrol used.


    Yours

    I'm aiming to spend nothing this week except my weekly food shop, as I have decided that my little daily spends are adding up. However, my best friend had a baby on the weekend so i spent £1.99 on a card for her new family.
