  • 40pon parking to pay my earnings form last night in. Also had to get my road tax (93.50). I decided to get 6 months , as getting a year will leave me unable to pay my proratas. Also , I plan to downgrade the car in next coupel of months. An 1800 cc is not financially viable for little trips roudn town. Looking fro a similar age diesel 1300.

    Got football this afternoon , but have season ticket , no match programme and will take a bag of crisps with me. Will leave ten minutes later so I get tehre for kick off and wont be tempted by burger vans and prgramme sellers.

    Only Irish coffee provides in a single glass all four essential food groups: alcohol, caffeine, sugar, and fat.

    Not a bad day for me -

    Washing Up Bowl - £1.69
    Coat Hook - £1.99
    Washing Up Brush- £0.89
    Washin up Liquid - £0.53

    So £5.10. Which makes me happy because the shops must of gone wrong somewhere as I only took out one slowly defrosting fiver.

    Am going to spend the rest of the day, putting up the coat hook, washing up (yawn) and have just sorted out the food cupboard and definately have enough bits to make a soup for today and tomorrow and maybe a cake - yeah!
  • I have to spend about £5 on postage fees (Ebay parcels) but I make that back on the sales of course.

    Then...I have to go for haircut & colour in town which will be £60 :eek:
    I do need to colour my hair as I am only 34 and greying rapidly (hmmmm wonder why...) and I'm not ready for that yet!

    I have very temperemental curly hair which needs to be handled with care otherwise I end up looking like a cross between The Jacksons circa 1978 & Ronald McDonald. But...I think I need to find out about student hair nights eh?

    £0 on parking as I use my old works car park for free so will save a few quid there.

    Have to work tomorrow (UNPAID :mad: ) so won't spend any more tomorrow & I'm getting a lift to the office.
    Bank Balance: In the black for the moment.

    Hi looking ahead. Have you thought about looking into a home hairdresser? They often have the same qualifications/experience but cost less - I guess because there is no salon rent/utilities etc.
  • £1 car parking
    £18 wax/ tint
    £3.40 for a coffee n cake for me and mum
    £2.99 for shampoo n conditioner
    and £1 back in my pocket from badly cut keys...

    so total spend of £24.39 and no £2 coins in sight!
    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.
  • After spending £60 last night and getting just a hangover for it I am going to stay in and spend nothing at all :)

    At my sat job today, so will be £60 up come 4pm - whooo!!! Am really enjoying it, did a viewing (on my own) today - thank god I've watched location, location, location :0)

    Bought lunch with me, but need to pop to Sainsbury's for Milk & Butter on way home (but will probably use nectar points rather than real £££££!!)..

    Nothing planned tomorrow, so dont intend on spending anything - have £15 to last until payday (Tues) which should be ok.

    Hope you're all having a good weekend. xx
