    Day was starting off ok. Me and OH have been off all week trying not to spend any money. OH wanted to go pictures. We were suppose to be going to 1440 show but OH decieded wanted to go 1400 show at 1350.So rushed down paid in (with my student card) then realised left my drink at home and snack, so we ended up paying £5 on drink and sweets for OH doh!!!

    £5 oyster top up, o.30p chewits, £1 internet cafe gotta buy some cat food too later.
    Here dead we lie because we did not choose
    To live and shame the land from which we sprung.
    Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose,
    But young men think it is,
    And we were young.

    32p on ebay postage which, as someone pointed out yesterday, is really not a spend since someone else has already paid it to me:D

    £4.60 to pre pay for a jacket potato with cheese & beans.....I am out next week for a ladies lunch...one of my colleagues has a very special birthday.

    Ummm, nothing else! I resisted buying snacks in Tescos (I went in looking for a particular brand of peanut nutter but they did not sell it...I am so proud of myself for not succumbing to temptation as I walked out past lots of yummy things!)

    £1.50 on DD school lunch and £5 for booking car boot sale

    Sold Sky viewing card on ebay for £20 .Listed sky + box too.

    Biggest achievement was wiring up sky minibox to TV instead. The dish connector for the sky + box had 2 bits to connect.
    After some thought, i stripped them down and joined the 2 wires into one thingy and connected it. AND IT WORKED..

    Booked car boot sale a few weeks time. Starting to put stuff together.

    Had defrosted chicken and brown rice for tea...
