  • Hopefully another Low spend day. I have had a good week so far.

    Done daily card - 10p
    Vist Post office and send Uni assignment
    Visit Libary
    Will look in selling old CD
    Pay Cheque in at the bank
    House is nice and tidy after Mum visting yesterday.
  • Morning all.

    I come on here for my daily dose of inspiration even although I am debt free. It's a place I do not want to visit ever again. I tell myself that every morning.

    Today I will

    Check savings account balances ( I got interest on one of them yesterday!!)
    Check bank balance. I got paid on Friday so I know it's in credit.
    Brought sandwiches to work.
    Working overtime tonight (£100 quid less tax, great!!!)
    No spend day.I wasn't so lucky yesterday. After a NSD on Sunday I bought some stuff for this weekend's upcoming break to Cologne.
    Not buy a newspaper.
    Not buy sweets.
    Have home made soup for supper.
    Have a walk at lunchtime because it is dry and mild. Costs nothing.

    Have a great day everyone.
  • morning all
    Andan - I got my clubcard vouchers on Saturday so you shouldn't have long to wait...
    Well done on the eggs Dawn!
    All I've done so far is bring in my breakfast and lunch (and make OH do the same - saves about £10 a day I reckon (Will put that into the demotivator later to make me feel good!!)
    Will check my banking, shouldn't be anything...
    Aiming for a no-spend day!

    see you 2mw
