What will you spend / what have you spent today Monday 24th July?

I haven't seen this thread today (sorry if it's already here somewhere).

I'm planning on not going into work today so that should mean that I don't spend any money. If I feel guilty and end up going into work though I can't promise that it will be the same.

Happy Mondays everyone.

    As we are all on hols we went to West Wittering today - absolutely fab!
    Took own food and drink, beach games etc. Spent £5 to park (would have been £3 if we arrived mid afternoon) plus diesel - 60 miles (not much!)
    So feel like we have been to the Med for not much money.

    £4.27 - Milk etc and a sarnie for lunch (I know I felt rebelious).

    However, did manage to make money when I got on the bus with my weekly ticket. The driver had run out of change and I had about £2.49 in change, he gave me £3 for it! Felt really pleased with myself!
    Money, money, money, must be funny....in a rich mans world.
