    Well done, katy :)

    For me today :
    - had to spend £4 on bus fare (grrr - at my monthly pass not runing up in the post and throwing all my planning out the window!)
    - checked banking (still grim)
    - scratchies and clicks
    - worked hard for my pennies at the office (and jeez ! has it been a stressful day)
    - meals from leftovers and freezer
    - tiny bit of ironing
    - no heating on (nope, nope, nope)
    - Mum gave me £6 for DS haircut (desperately required, and not in my budget - thank you Mum x)
    - check for freebies
    - used toiletry stash in shower
    - took packed lunch to work
    - used free texts to keep in touch

    That's my lot.
    Have a good rest-of-evening all
    :)
    Aiming to be debt-free, and have my degree, by 50 ! :j

    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

  • Thank you everyone!! I find the competitions make a real different as you sometimes are lucky to get luxuries you wouldn't spend your pennies on (like beauty products etc) but somethine like this is a BIG luxury so is fantastic!!

    Fay - well done on Darwin passing his MOT It all adds up which I guess is why we're here! x x x
    Thank you to all posters:beer:
  • My first money saving step happened today when I dug out an old note pad (rather than buy a new one, which is great for me!) and started making a spending diary.

    A small step in the right direction. x x

    Thanks for a great thread.
    :whistle: Whistle while you work...
