Congrats on the no alcohol front. Have you been on the alcohol - self help thread? The guys on there are amazing and really help and encourage one another.
I pop in from time to time to offer them my support.
As for spends for today.....20p for jublee for school for my eldest daughter!

Nothing so far and I have my lunch with me. I'm going to the gym tonight and then on to my book club social so a couple of diet cokes/lime & soda should be all I buy as there is going to be a free buffet!0

I'm off work today feeling ropey and needing to be near a toilet for short-notice calls! So shouldn't spend much! Need to chance walking to the post box to post 2 letters (including a bday card for a friend I got 4 for £1 in a pound shop). I have washed our bedding and hung it on the line, and rung Anglia Water who sent us a statement today saying we are owed £102 credit, so they have agreed to send us a cheque for that and reduce our monthly payments to £17. Getting our meter was the best thing we did
I will prob just lounge about feeling sorry for myself reading library books today.
Hope everyone else is having a better day!

Well done CCK
Hope you feel better soon Sarah (been there, alas) and big hugs to Looking Ahead (if you look in on here today) for your rough luck.
So far I've spent
£6.65 Prescription
£1.00 Toothpaste and brush
£5.68 painkillers
£2.00 carparking (arrived just in time for evening rate - I felt very proud of being DFW with my tardiness!)
£3.00 for tea - loads of eateries at first glance, but a lot closed at the end of the shopping day, so I ended up at Subway
£1.45 for a drink
£16.23 for petrol - at an apalling rate because I was going in the wrong direction from all my price checked garages
297 Boots points on toothpaste
It will get worse though as I'm off to Wolvs for a gig tonight - gig is paid for, parking and moochifying in the city is not...Do I Need One Stops All Unnecessary Reckless Spending£2 CSC - £30 :kisses3:0 -
Nothing yet, although I have to get a £1 postal order and send a letter by recorded delivery (telling Cabot Finance to get stuffed and prove I owe them the debt when it was a joint loan with exDH and he keeps writing to them to tell them he is willing to pay it)Organised people are just too lazy to look for things
F U Fund currently at £2500 -
Hi everyone
It's 11.25 and I haven't spent anything today as yet but know I'll be spending £4 later.
Yesterday I went the full day without spending any money, do you know that was the first day I've ever managed to do itI have to take each day as it comes as an emotional spendaholic I can't see beyond a day at a time. Reading all the posts on the forums gives me so much inspiration and makes me feel ashamed that I don't manage to do it more
Last night I nearly spent £20. I was at the gym (get it free - perk from work!) and they are doing a special promotion on one-to-one personal training £20 for five hours. Well I registered and was handing over the £20 to the receptionist and I wouldn't let go :rotfl: She looked at me in a strange way and started tugging the note. I kept thinking - do I really need this - in the end I said I'd changed my mind so she let go of the money and I quickly put it back in my pocket :T I went over to the treadmill, ran a 5k personal best time :j See didn't and don't need no personal trainer :rotfl:DFW Nerd no: 1490 -
