What have you spent/will you spend today- Friday 19/5/06

Hey all!!!

Happy Friday!!:beer: :j :j

I haven't spent anything so far, but will have to spend out for a lime and soda at lunchtime (Friday lunch in the pub), hopefully no more than 50p.

Bonus was last night I took a bottle of water to the gig with me (empty bottle filled with tap water!:p ) and so didn't buy any drinks!!! Am going to do the same tonight!! (second night of festy) So hopefully will just spend 50p all day!

    so far:£190 :(

    £125 my share of rent + £65 my share of council tax, was payday today (and bonus month)so I can't complain.

    Putting £100 of bonus into savings, and the other £150 of bonus getting a new tv, old one broke recently, i know 150 is a lot and I could get a cheaper one, but tv keeps me from going out and spending even more £, with big bro and world cup coming up i'd b lost without my tv.

    **purpleprincess** - thats fab if you spend so little whilst actually going out & having a life - well done!!

    I got home to find a £10 Boots voucher from Pigsback - yaaay!! Almost have enough to get another one too...

    Returning 2 x tops today, one £22 and the other £4.99 (although the latter I may have to exchange it for something as the 30 days to return are up.....)

    May buy some spinach & mushrooms later for tea - saying that I could use £2.50 of nectar points to get them with...

    Lunch with me.

    Quite dull really.....!! xx

    Haven't spent anything yet, but forgot my lunch, so will be soup & roll from work's canteen (about £1)

    Am out tonight with my mates, but as am detoxing both body & finances AND driving, will be one baby bottle of wine + 3 glasses of soda = £3ish

    Wonder how long I can keep my £20 note intact.....?

    Well it's shopping tonight so hopefully going to keep to a maximum of £25. I am just sitting here making a list of some meals for the week that sound nice - which is posing difficult as H2B has decided he is starting to eat healthy

    thanks for the adoration mslondon. next tuesday i will probably have to fill up at the pump - the needle is dangerously far to the left, but i am driving ever so carefully; ample braking distance time, not revving the engine etc. so i should be ok till tuesday. having said that, if you see me stranded on the motorway, please do waive to me, even if you decide not to help :)

    I'm getting into the swing of it I must be honest!! I like going out but it costs too much usually so am thinking up ways of going out without spending too much! And I must say, leaving my purse at home helps most of the time!:rotfl:

    Yay:j £10 voucher from Pigsback!! I'm just waiting to build up my points for that, not sure if I'm going to go for Boots or Topshop when I get there.

    Yeah, use your nectar points!!!

    Nah, not dull!!!

    So technically, you could not spend owt today!:D
