    £5.40 for DS2 haircut and 75p for sweets (him and me) as a treat for sitting so still - well as still as possible for a toddler!

    Mornin' all,
    I was going to go and do the big shop today but can't get the lottery till tomorrow now as OH isn't organised...

    So I'd just persuaded myself that the shopping could wait till tomorrow (bread may be out of date by a day but isn't green and will be fine round fishfingers!) till I remembered that I'd promised to fill up with petrol today ready for a night out round at friends tonight...

    I'm not sure the fates are with me on my targets for no-spend days! Even Sunday is a probable bust as we're going hospital visiting and there is bound to be a carpark charge. :p

    Ah well - and now I really ought to go and get the shopping/petrol and stop putting it all off...!

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Spent 40p on a choccy bar which wasn't even that nice...

    Hopefully spend nothing else.

    Babysitting tonight to earn some extra cash and watching a DVD sent to me on free trial!

    Having a no spend day today.

    Just realised that this month I have to pay for house insurance, car tax, service and MOT. Ouch. And thats on top of my brothers wedding this month.

    So cheap weekend ahead!
  • I've got to spend 30p on sending an eBay parcel this lunchtime, but the person has already paid for it so doesn't really count! I've got to go out for dinner with work lot tonight, but am driving so that will make it cheaper, and only going to have a main (huuuuuge main courses!!), also am giving two people a lift there and back and they are going to give me a bit of petrol money! So all in all not that bad!

    Haven't spent anything today, made my sandwich for lunch at work.

    Having a quiet evening in, although might buy a case for my holiday on the way home from work.

    Happy saving! ;)

    I spent £1.30 posting an ebay parcel (30p more than I charged the buyer!! Don't you hate it when that happens? :mad: ). Also spent £1.25 in the bakery.

    I always weight it then round it up to the next 100g and add a pound I USED to under charge postage all the time but I don't now.

    I have not spent anything today. but the day is still early.
