Sophiesmum,i am so glad you start the thread every day. Like you i am debt free,but love posting as it makes me think what i am spending my money on and my money does go further since i have been posting,because i think before i spend and also i pick up some good money saving ideas from posters.sophiesmum wrote: »Can't claim to have been the original starter of the thread, it used to run sporadically during 07 posted by Hypno amongst others, and a "what have you spent today thread" used to run along side it posted by Moozie, I loved posting on both and reading to keep me on traack.
Gradually the thread disappeared so I ressurrected it about a year ago and between us - myself , andan,:A and couple of others:A we haven't missed a day since. Andan has taken over when I have been on holiday etc and now I can't start the day without posting it first
I love the motivation of the thread even though ai am now debt free it keeps me focused on staying that way:T :T and I get to chat with lovely people and pick up lots of great tips.:j :j
So thank you for starting the tread everyday.0 -

hi everyone, first post on here! I'm not really in debt, other than racking up the student loan atm, but I still like to do little things each day to help make sure I don't run into financial difficulty.
today I have/will:- use up old shampoo/shower gel etc.
- use up some old candles that have been lying around for years. Smell nice and it's good to get a bit of extra free light.
- emailed my previous uni about last year's alleged "overpaid" bursary (they said I didn't attend the whole year, but I did
) - do any surveys
- do daily clicks
- do comps
- check bank to see when things need to be paid, and write in diary when I need to transfer money
- today's horse won on racecaller

- got the fluffy pink and black stripy socks on :j
- recovering from yesterday's trip to the dentist
- had a chicken sandwich for lunch using leftovers from the Sunday roast
