    WEll, it was gonna be nothing but I just went on eBay and bought two SKid Row albums on CD cos I was listening to youtube and though I needed them in the car!!

    Buuuuut...I am working tonight 9-3 so will earn £166, and also am writing two extra articles for work over the weekend at £400 each so it's not like i am out of pocket for spending £12 on eBay!!

    Pity me working all weekend though...

  • Don't know what it is about Sat and cleaning but I've also been busy;

    3 loads of washing on line
    Downstairs windows and paintwork washed
    Car washed (now that is a rarity)

    and what does it do?......no rain for ages......and it p****s it down :mad: totally undoing everything!

    So now I have;

    line full of wet clothes (no time to get it in - total, instantanious downpour)
    mucky, streaky windows
    sodden car which will no doubt have filthy watermarks, worse than before :mad: :mad: :mad:

    and not only that, to get back to OP - IT'S BIG SHOP DAY! So I have to trudge the supermarket and drag the shopping home... and I daren't estimate the cost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek:

    The only way is up............

    £1.97 at the post office for a birthday card, and to post it, with a present, to my niece. If I had remembered sooner I could have made the card and posted them 2nd class instead of 1st - so I'm a bit cross!
    Have also been on the Next sale website and ordered a large rug for the lounge which may or may not come - it says 'delay of 5 days', so fingers crossed. That's another £86 but I'll try and get OH to pay for that, since he's not in debt and I am. I did cheekily use the free delivery code though :D

    Have spent nothing so far today and having HM soup for lunch which was from a batch I made two weeks ago (frozen obviously!) so saving some money there too.

    I may have to pop to supermarket later to do the weekly grocery shop but it's soooo hot, I may put it off till tomorrow......in which case I will have had a no spender! YAY.

    Will update post later, if anything changes.

  • Nothing so far but going to a BBQ on a workmate's houseboat on the canal then OH's album launch later so will probably spend around £10 as driving.

    I've spent some Advantage points on lunch - does that count? If so, it was £3.75.

    Otherwise, we've got friends round for dinner tonight. I'm cooking, but already have everything in, incl. red wine (£1.15 a bottle from Italy - and it's gorgeous!!) :T
