IN the end £7.40 posting ebay items, also the wrong size sale item back to Boden - so that'll be some cash coming back, and 2.49 on new colour free baby paracetamol - it's 10p cheaper than the boots own calpol, and the staff didn't know what the difference was. It's white, rather than pink (I so nearly had a mutiny on my hands - who'd have thought the wrong colour medicine was a sulking offence?! So just under £10. I can live with that, to be fair, since all three of the ebay things were going to go in the bin, and I got £6 clear profit from them!

Happy Birthday Skintchick
Spent 15.50 on a week's bus travel pass. Then 2.40 in Boots on 2 6-packs of Simpsons crackers at a pound each and 4 rolls of Classic WtPooh wrapping paper at 10p each (Leeds Bond St branch, not sure if prices are nationwide).
Tomorrow will be more, as got 2 pairs of trainers to post (ebay sales) but at least that will be covered by the money I got for them.
Been taking sandwiches into work, that will continue. Apart from the ebay postage, trying to limit myself to a tenner a week and will be paying a few pounds onto the CC debt at the end of each week. I figure if I take lunches and a bottle of water in and get the bus, there's not much else I need to spend money on.

£4 to post a birthday present to my brother (but I made the present myself for almost free so not too bad).

£15.51 in Asda on food to last me until 1st Feb (except for bread and milk top up!). Very proud of myself, spent time making a considered list and managed to stick to it except for one tiny tin of baked beans (which should have been on there!). Thats very good for me, am a big impulse shopper if I don't set rules!

I'm going to stay with parents for 1st week of Feb and they insist on treating me to food etc (cos I'm going home for my birthday) so hoping to spend very little while I'm there!
