What have you spent today - Fri 21/4/06

PaleScene

Today is a bit up in the air as I don't know what I'm doing yet - if I can get out of gardening by going grocery shopping I'd much prefer it!

And if anyone has any rain about - please send it to the Cheltenham area... thank you!

Good luck with restrained spending everyone.

Hopefully nothing!! Have been invited to the pub at lunchtime but I have said no as I want to go for my walk and increase my number of steps for today! And am working tonight in the pub so will be out but getting paid for it!!!

Nowt so far today, but I'll off to the movies tonight so £6.75 on that (unless they've put the price up again, seems to be a weekly event at that cinema!). And I might go and get some groceries tonight as well, so whatever that comes to!

Looking forward to a quietish and cheap weekend, I'm exhausted after my easter trip!

£4.01 at Superdrug for: deodrant, razor blades (badly needed going swimming later...!), dairy milk bar, smarties, moam chews

Gerradene

today all i need is a small top up shop later on. Need to get fresh veg and fruit, eggs, milk, meat. Hopefully spend about £15.

Not going anywhere over the weekend, so hopefully no spend weekend

Nothing yet, but going shopping later and hopefully going to try and keep it under £20

Am very pleased with myself though as I haven't been tempted to go into town

Got up reasonably early this morning for my interview.All seemed to go well so fingers crossed I can increase my earnings thatta way!

Came home, got trainers on, went out into town.Now this may sound strange but I was having a good ol' nose around the clearence bins in places like Superdrug and Woolies. Basically I'm trying to fill up on little bits to help me out at christmas (Thinking of Christmas yes I know) and other birthdays etc.I wanted to make some themed hampers for people.

I've spent about £7 in woolies, and managed to get 4 MASSIVE packets of pot pourri, which I was going to make OS style but given that they were 89p each, I figured that was a better saving.I got 2 fragrance drawer sachets for 50p each, a tie hanger for 75p (some man in my life will get that bad boy!) really good quality too.2 boxed sets of ladies embroidered hankerchiefs for 50p, and BARGAIN of my day. 20 (Oh yes I said 20!) sachets of bath fizzers and bath salts (10 of each) which were marked at 24p each, so I got 5 of each, thinking £2.50 not bad.Got to till with manager on it (shocking in itself) and he said "stocking up hahahaha" in the way they do, and I said "Might as well as they're pretty cheap" so he said "grab some more and I'll do them for 20p a packet, and you can have them BOGOF. So I actually paid £2 for 20!!!!!

And then he gave me one of the p.pourri things free too!Just for taking 20 of his sachets!!!!!

I love it when people pay me to take stuff I would have paid for anyway!!!!!

I've been collecting glass jars and lids etc, so I'm going to fill one of those with fizzers and bath salts, tie some ribbon round it and hey presto!!!!!

All very long winded to read through I know but I practically couldn't contain myself!
OOOOOOOOOOOoh and then went into the health food shop and they were selling jars and stuffed pimineto olives for 99p!Big jars too, so I've got one of those for my foodie hamper!!!

I'm just ever so pleased with myself!!!

And then......................
Came home, post was here. Intelligent Finance have offered me a credit card with 4.95% on balance transfers for life of transfer, which is a hell of a lot better than paying 22.9 to MBNA for my Abbey CC!!!
I know I should really be wanting one with 0% but my credit rating is dreadful and I live in rented accomodation, so I didnt think that was too bad. Or am I wrong? I cant really make sense of the information sometimes!!!!
