    Well I've just spent £950 reducing my overdraft from £1950 to £1000. I have not included my overdraft in my debt total so that figure won't change but I'm moving my bank account and really did not want to move such a large overdraft.

    Seeing as it's chucking it down, the urge to go shopping is zero. But I will have to go to the butchers at some time to get something for tea but that'll be well under a fiver.

    hi all,

    I am spending 35p on a pint of milk and £1 on a birthday card. Last night I set myself a £20 budget, and guess what?? I stuck to it, actually spent less- £18! Got the bus home, not taxi, shared a bottle of wine and watered the wine down to make it last longer (and also feel better for it today) and had dinner too (with voucher for buy one get one free). Two months ago that night out would have been £50, maybe even more.
    Saving for an early retirement!

    I'm out to a party tonight, OH paying for entry. Setting myself a £20 limit for the night (drinks and travel), hopefully will not spend it all.

    Actually that seems quite high (i'll get hubby to buy drinks :D)

    Hopefully a no spend day today. OH working 'til 8pm, so no temptation to go out and spend. Also have loads of housework :mad: to do, which will keep me busy.

    Spent £10 on fish and chips last night, but it's been ages since we had them, and they were delish. Collected a stair gate after posting a 'wanted' on freecycle last night. It's just what we wanted, and cost nothing :j

    Yup that's my girl! That was taken a couple of years ago now. She's 5 now. Also have a boy too! Both have been rescued. Sorry I digress. Proud mum :D

    Today i have spent £3.19 on a hot chocolate and a cake (not very DFW)
    I have been unwell and spent quite a bit on hot lemon drink sachets and paracetamol and decongestants.

    I am officially off the DFW wagon as i am going clothes shopping tomorrow. I need clothes for work as when i started this job it was october last year and went out and spent some money on geting 'office-wear' suits and blouses. Now i want some summery clothes and more than two blouses. i'm not planning on going crazy, i have a budget and an idea of the things i want.

    Have a good weekend everyone xx
