    Part of the Furniture 10,000 Posts Combo Breaker Hung up my suit!
    Today I have mostly been rather naughty, bought some reduced undies in George and a new stockpot because I broke mine and I miss it.

    Then I was seduced by Next where I bought 4 tops for my holidays, to be fair the clothes were in the budget but I have spent about £85 today:o

  • Strange one today. Managed to spend £20.00 at Skybet and lost, which is never good but should get a free bet of the back of it to try and minimise my loses. Anyway, alos got lucky and won £310.82 on one of the casino offers! As I said, complete luck and fairly low-risk (a whole $5 originally laid down). However, I would not advocate betting to anyone really, despite my luck. Certainly never gamble with money you can't afford to lose. Last offer for quite a while for me, time to stop messing around, you only get lucky so many times!

    Apart from these two, nothing else today! Should have been a no spend day if I'd resisted Skybet, so kicking myself there (even though I came out on top). Need three no spend days for the rest of the week, so tomorrow I'll just be watching the football.

    Right, signing off now, hope everyone had a good day!

    Spent £3.00 on buses fares to work, £12.99 on a bucket from KFC and £4.50m on a taxi to my mum's, got the bucket to save her having to cook as she had ds/dd today while I was at work. Going to make tomorrow a no spend day to make up for it.

  • Spent £4 on my lunch and am really angry at myself! :mad:

    Fallen of the wagon a bit of late coz I'm doing quite well money wise! Desperate not to fall back into the old trap of spending it when I've got it! :rolleyes:

    Am gonna buck my ideas up now though! :D
  • Spent £3.42 on brunch and a pot of tea at tesco's so a good day for me.
