what have you/will you spend today - Mon June 26th

northern_star

Hi all

Apologies if I've missed this thread elsewhere but I had a quick look and didn't spot it.

How do other regular posters feel about continuing this thread? It seems to be getting started later in the day. Are people getting bored with it, or is it more likely that we can't assess what we've spent until later in the day?

I still need the support of the thread to keep me focussed, what about the rest of you?

Anyway in DFW style, i'll post my spends for the day and it's a BIG one - even this far.

£95 without even leaving the house! Man came to 'refurbish' my old enamel bath. It does look wonderful now though and I had budgetted for this.

I need to go out later to Post Office to send some mail but the cost should only be a few pence as I have some stamps in the house already.

and now an unknown cost;- I've tried saving money by colouring my hair at home and the result is dreadful :eek: :eek: :eek: I'm hoping to remedy it by toning it down with another colour (strand test developing as I type) but if that doesn't work I'm going to have to rely on the sympathies and expertese of a professional hairdresser to salvage something from this mess (for those finding this difficult to visualise - my hair is now the colour of custard - not fetching:o ). And I daren't even think about how much that will cost! I could just become a hermit 'til it grows out but my brother gets married on Friday...............................no pressure then:rotfl: :rotfl:

i think it is a great thread, and a lot of posters only post at the end of the day when they have done all their spending. also its a great asset for newbies and keeps them focused in the early days, so lets keep the thread going!!!

spent 5 on petrol and 42.13 in tesco today, got loads of bogofs and larger bulk items.

that will be it for todays spend for me, tomorrow will cost me a little as i am going to the cinema to watch the da vinci code. but im going to try and spend as little as i can for the rest of the week!!!

Aiming for a big fat zero!!

Was going to be nil, but have got an Ebay parcel to send - although she kept me waiting 10 days for money......nah, am too nice to do that!

amendment: spent £2.90 on 2 birthday cards for my nephews AND bought a buttie for lunch - another £1.30 so with the £2.66 postage made a total of £6.86 - not a very good day

Hiya!!

Spent £9.90 (with Annual Gold Card discount) on train fare from parents into London this morning.

£1.00 on a cookie.

And need to buy lunch..

Bless. My nan found some money in the house that grandad had stashed away before he died (an original MSE-er?) so nan gave me £100 to go towards my travel fund, which was lovely of her. Bless!!

Got £125 in my paypal account from ebay sales & rpoints cashback - although a bit disapointed as most of the items went for next to nothing, but my own fault really..

MUST look into getting travel insurance asap!!

Just about to take some shoes back to Shelly's which I only bought 6 weeks ago, so hopefully they'll replace them (fingers crossed). I dont have the receipt but the chap on the phone said that would be ok....?! May take in a bank statement anyway...

Lots of rain overnight in this part of Kent – how wonderful. The Veggies, Flowers and Lawn are ecstatic. Popped into town this morning – hooray… how daring, how adventurous... whoo hoo. :rolleyes: I’m supposed to be …ahem…”working at home” hee hee… you Rebel you…

Well...spent a Grand Total of £7.76 on bits and pieces…£5.36 on grocery things, £1.00 parking and £1.40 on a cup of proper coffee – whoo hoo.

Haven't spent anything yet and hopefully it will stay that way too- yayyy!

I like this thread and I need the support and encouragement that I think it gives. I used to spend money like water before I started "reporting in" to you guys.

Hoping for a zero spend today.

Other than £2 I owe a colleague for sponsorship when she pops over to see me, I should be able to do a few zero spend days this week (hopefully!)

Waiting for a payment from a buyer on ebay and then I want to transfer my paypal funds into my bank account.

Sent a DCA letter to Capital One asking for statements on an old closed account I'm going to look to get charges back from.

spent nothing yet, although I do need dog food. Will pop out later and get some.

I have spent £1 on a stamp. I am sending off for a free nappy and had to send the cost of postage. I had a 1st class stamp in the house already.

Today is day 1 for me on this spending diary so far Ive spent £8.41 in morrisons on bogof deals so no teabags or pepsi required for several weeks! Managed to get an anniversary card for my sister for 25p and i found £4 of tesco vouchers from an old card which are still valid so got them linked to my new card.
