Nothing spent today…hooray…how wonderful… was working from home and too busy earning a crust for most of the day. However, late this afternoon whilst drinking a really, really nice mug of tea I planted the first early seeds of the year…joy of joys… I just couldn’t wait any longer… how wondrous and everything… planted a few cabbages, sprouts, onions, jalapeno peppers, tomatoes and one of my favourite perennial flowers – Rudbekia (Fulgida var. speciosa). The small pots will live on the kitchen windowsill for a few weeks – they will like that…lol.

well i made my decision, and my current job came in with a really good offer so have decided to stay put, and decline the other job. It wasn't about the money, it was about moving forward in my career, and I feel so much happier that I don't have to leave Law Related education behind and move into just generic education management.

So I didn't spend anything else to day apart from Starbucks earlier, so not too bad! Thanks for all your support guys! Now my flat and job and boyfriend are sorted, I can concentrate on money saving!!

Managed a no spend day yesterday - but also didn't get the day's work I had hoped, as the weather was too bad ( I garden).

Today just £9 in Sainsbury's (part of weekly shop, but didn't have time to do the full shop), and £7.50 on petrol.

Can I just say how helpful I am finding this? I am not in debt (more by luck than anything else!) but I do feel I don't get the best out of the money I have, partly because it vanishes in dribs and drabs which add up to quite a lot. Keeping a spending diary is really helping, and for two weeks, I have actually had change in my purse on Friday, rather than nothing and a load of IOU's to the children's moneyboxes!

I spent the day in town today after taking the car in for MOT - couldn't decide whether to make the decision that they wouldn't ring me all day and go home till later - or wait in case.

Unfortunately being in town invariably means shedding money though it was mostly considered. (Plus I sometimes worry that I'm horribly controlled so good to occasionally have an impulse buy!)

Hmm:
£2 in Thorntons (all Continental selection bags are down from £2.75... apologies for mentioning ch**ol*te)
£3.49 in HMV on a single I can't get easily online cheaper
£18.00 in Debenhams on two really nice jumpers (spent quite a long time shopping round for this, so great sale buy in the end)
£21.58 paying off Debenhams card
£2.98 in Julian Graves on sugar-free sweets for Aunt who can't get out to the shops herself
£6.18 in Starbucks (3 hours chair rental - brownies are 'orrible though)
285 points and £5 skincare voucher in Boots on drinks, lipglosses, a 'getting your baby to sleep' book for my sister and some suncream
£3.10 in Tesco (so my darling OH can have a packed lunch tomorrow :A)
£1.40 single bus fare home

Tomorrow might be a no-spend as I can't have the car back till Friday (at a cost of at least two limbs )

Spent £10.31 in Sainsburys and £5 in Marks and Spencers, on food.. Since I've realised that my Saisburys Local reduces a lot of their food items I've been going in at lunchtime... BUT.. think that i'm spending way too much now! I think that I'm getting a bargain but if i didn't go in there I probably wouldn't miss it.. Need to start avoiding it unless I really need stuff..

Went to Badminton this evening and was £5.25 for the court.. we take it in turns to pay week about...

Will need money for bus fare tomorrow but hope not to spend anything else..

£47 but I think it was a bargain.

Husband had a shower this morning and all the electricity went... no hot water, no heating, no coffee, no computer :eek: :eek:

We tried to isolate the problem, unplugged everything but nothing worked.

Eventually got an electrician to call this afternoon - what a gem.

He found the problem straight away (burnt out shower switch) went to get the part and fitted it. Two hours work.

What a relief!... we'd already boiled water on the log fire and made toast like cavemen
