    Well I'm at home today not feeling too good, finally succumbed to a winter cold, so not spent anything yet! However, off out for a meal tonight (feed a cold and all that!). But going to a restaurant where they are offering 2 for 1 on main courses, so that should save me a bit of money! Am limited to spending £12 though as that is all I have in my purse!

    Had to spend £20 on petrol :mad:
    Had a no spend day yesterday though and won 50p in a friendly bet too!

    Oh and we all cook for each other at work so I have to pay my dues for this week but should only be about £4!

    No spending today but spent quite a lot yesterday - £6.50 antibiotics prescription, £70ish Tesco and about £5 Macdonalds (all approximates as my mum's taken over the last 3 days while I've been feeling lousy). Still owe her the money for that lot!

    Just under £10 on postage for eBay parcels, which I don't count, as the postage has been paid by the buyer - other than that... nothing!

    This is my 3rd no-spend day in a row :j

    I put off the shopping again... but did have to go out for petrol so I went to Sainsburys and nearly achieved my objective of coming out with only the one item on offer that I won't buy in the big shop (as it costs more at Tesco currently).

    So:
    £10.92 on Cafédirect coffee (target) and Stowford Press Cider (good deal and OH's favourite)
    £33.99 on petrol
    £45 on lottery but that's not our money.

    Off out now for crispy duck pancakes - :D

    Haven't left the house since tuesday as I had dental surgery and look like the Elephant Man so a very cheap week just daughters dinner money and a few pounds for book day and thats been it. Have been living on what we've got!
    Here dead we lie because we did not choose
    To live and shame the land from which we sprung.
    Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose,
    But young men think it is,
    And we were young.
