Was nothing... but then had to fork out £30 to file an online claim to get bank charges... will hopefully get this reimbursed... fingers crossed.
:heartpuls CG :heartpulsEver wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.0 -
I think I've made up for everyone who had a no spend day!
Parted with a massive £111.00 today...here goes:
Petrol - £30.02 - that'll last me until the end of the month
Wilkinsons £18.73 - energy saving lightbulbs on BOGOF, child wipes, washing liquid, womes bits(!), shampoo/conditioner, etc. No extras in the basket!
PAYG top up - £10 - first one as I've moved from £25 p/m contract
Woollies - £15.94 - big sale on so got 7 childrens books, most reduced from £4.99 to £1.99 for Xmas and birthday pressies (put on 0% cc, but money in savings account to pay for it)
Boots - £23.31 - sale on, so got 3 lovely pressies for Xmas
Debenhams - £13.00- sale on, so got 2 pressies, 1 for b/day, 1 for Xmas
Although a large amount, really pleased as I'd normally spend @ £110 on those people, as opposed to the £52.25 I spent today.
Back to 'normal' tomorrow, so expect rest of week to be no spend days!Back on the DFW Wagon:
CC - £3,300 on 0% til 04/2020
CC - £4,500 on 0% til 02/2019

I spent nothing. We went out for the day to Salcey Forest, in between Northampton and Milton Keynes. It was free to park, and free to get in. Spent they day walking round and went on the Tree Top Walk Way, which was brill. Great views from up level with the tree-tops.
We packed a picnic and some drinks, so did not even have to buy refreshments from the little cafe there!
Feeling quite chuffed !!!keep smiling,
