    80p on a bottle of water (i usually refill one every day but left it at home).
    OH has spent £11 on food shopping, bringing our total to a naughty £33 for the week, for the two of us :(

    I can top that - today i have spent £325!!!

    Although, that was on car insurance, and it is the first time I've ever paid cash for it! (rather than paying monthly or putting it on a card that is!)
    Was debt free... then went travelling!

    £1.40 on single bus fare (I was determined to cadge a lift home today!)
    30p on a stamp (receptionist let me off the 2p!)
    £1.75 on some chip shop chips and a can of diet coke (oh the irony) as popped out with some colleagues - which I hardly ever do.
    £37 on some specialist hair conditioning products but these will last me ages and I got them via QuidCo!

    I do have "expensive hair"....but the the good news is I recently discovered a book for 'Curly Girls' and I have been enlightened on so much stuff...and I never need buy mousse, shampoo or any other styling product except a clear gel, ever again!! (Don't worry, I will still be clean! There is just a different 'scalp cleaning' approach when you have curly hair...I'm not turning into Swampy.)

    My good spending day just turned into a bad mood day when I opened my payslip and realised my £500 bonus had been taxed and Student Loaned, to make it £228 :(

    Not to bad today. £4.93 in Lidl on their half price fruit and veg. £1.99 plus the £3 hair care voucher in Boots on Toni and guy shampoo - much better at £1.99 than £4.99 ! 95p in a charity shop on two cushion covers.

    What a shame! This could almost bring on some stress induced spending.
