What will you spend / what have you spent today Tuesday 25th July?

Molanole

I'm up with the lark again so thought I'd start this off.

After yesterday's shocking attempt at a no spender I really need to have one today. OH is busy making my packed lunch as I type and I have squash on my desk so shouldn't need to purchase drinks.

Fingers crossed!

Hi
Apparently the banks have a list of what they believe everyone should be able to live on in a month. Both Debt Free Direct and Payplan have referred to this "document" when I have been talking to them about an IVA. Has anyone actually seen a copy of it or know where it can be found please?
Thanks

Hi Blownalot

Might be better to post as a thread in it's own right as it's a useful question for all newbies, plus, this thread will only attract those who want to post in it and so some of the experts might not catch up with it.

I think it is a government estimate of what it costs people to live and that you might either find it from the benefits pages or maybe from the CAB. Alternatively, take a look at Emmzi's benefit challenge thread (you'll need to do a search) and you might find some pointers there. Good luck!

Hi all,

Tis is it, I'm going to have my first NSD since my lightbulb moment. I've got a packed lunch and got fuel yesterday.

Hold tight, I'm on the road!

Mmm, don't think i'm going to have a very cheap day... got to drive down to wales (from notts) for my sisters bday and my car has been running on empty for the last week - reckon will be about £40 but hopefully that will be it - off to make my sandwiches now!!

I'm hoping for another NSD today too, am off work all this week with not much planned to do during the day. Just hoping I can resist the urge to hit the shops to kill a bit of time! The plan is to do some studying though for my next accountancy module-so I better get going!!!

Am having a NSD today, have a gorgeous bottle of frozen water on my desk (which would be very appealing if everyone else wasn't drinking Banana Caramel frappucinos).
