    A very nearly no spender for me, only spent £1.50, but that was on a box of choccies for some people at work who have made my colleague and I's life so much easier this week, they've been really cooperative and have gone out of their way. so I think they deserve it, and sacrificing my otherwise no spender day!!

    £50 on getting an alarm fitted to the house :j

    £0.68 on posting something to my friend (to help her start being a DFW!!)

    And that's it actually, I thought today was going to be much worse. Also I actually BANKED all the coins in my purse! £9.02!! :D

    I figured they may as well be in the bank earning a bit of interest than in my purse waiting to be squandered on something useless.

    Only spent a little on ebay postage - and that doesn't count!

    Had brekkie at home though rather than use work's milk - probably 6p unnecessarily used!

    Second day this week have taken lunch to work, and not bought any extras. Other day was at clients, had healthy 2 course lunch for £4 and didn't buy usual uppercrust treat on way home. STARVING by time I got in though!

    And have stuck to menu I had planned every night so far.

    So far so good.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
