What have you spent today? Monday 5th June

Good morning everyone

We will be spending about £40 today.

DH absolutely *NEEDED* :rolleyes: a garden shredder so we are collecting one from ebay today for £36. Also a bit annoyed as we have a £5 voucher if we paid by paypal but he's insisting on cash on collection even though it had the paypal logo on his auction.

DH will also need to buy lunch as I didn't make any more bread yesterday as he was in the kitchen creating a meal for friends so not the best start to the week.

Better get a bit more organised today, over to you..............

    morning all,

    I am still reeling from spending £35 yesterday on dinner for OH and myself. I said let's go to the pub for dinner (thinking it would be £15- £20 max) as it was such a nice evening (and I had run the race for life earlier and so felt I deserved a treat). Unfortunately his local is a poncy gastropub so dinner and drinks came to £35. Way over budget for this month now.
    I have no lunch with me today so will spend £1.75.
    Saving for an early retirement!

    Firstly, Imelda, well done doing the race for life. I'm doing it in two weeks!

    No spend today. Son of school poorly. Still able to work from home for an hour as mum has come to keep an eye on him. Thank you mum!

    Nothing yet but will have to post a package this afternoon from my eBay activities. Actually, that might count as no-spend as I charged the buyer for P+P so technically it's not my money I'm spending?

    If that's true then this will be my first of 3 x no spend days today- yayyy!!!
