    I agree, it keeps me in check! did post on here earlier saying that I hadnt spent anything, and I would be ashamed to have to come back and say that I succumbed! Still havent spent anything!

    Spent nothing so far (a friend treated me to lunch - bless!!), but am going to cinema tonight & might have some popcorn, so around £3+ :eek: !!! I have an unlimited pass, but if I was paying the ticket would be £8.50 each time (Central London prices!!) :mad:

    Waiting for a few more bits to come out of my account so that I can tell how I am doing financially this month - already transferred money into savings so its a nice round number, but think I may have left myself short. We shall see......

    Have a nice evening xx

    I hope you don't mind me tagging along, but I think this will help me to curb those impulse buys - the embarrassment of having to tell you should put me off!

    I spent 25p on an apple in the station this morning. Now I've written that, I can see how wasteful it is not to buy them at home!

    And I'll be buying some cheese at lunchtime.

    That's it! Tell me off if I buy anything else! :p


    25p for an apple isnt that wasteful. I have seen a lot worse!!!

    Nothing for me... I haven't left the house...

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

    Places like Pret etc charge around 50p for a piece of fruit, so I think you got a bargain!! :D And people pay the 50p though???!!!!!! :confused:

    :mad: It looks as though Blacks have debited my card twice for £67.48!! Bit of a pain in the bum, but thankfully I have "spare" money floating around to cover it until I get it back. Once upon a time I wouldnt have though & I would have gone overdrawn!! (or probably overdrawn on my overdraft!) :rolleyes:

    Not nothing for me as I was out earning today. First day in new job. And only a petrol station with a shop attached anywhere close. So I will be ok as long as I don't take my purse.

    Husband spend £1.98 on some washers so no more drippy taps :j But that spend is coming from household money.


    Yours
