What will you spend / have you spent today 2nd August 06?

I would normally commit myself to a no spender when I start this thread off but it's not worked up til now:confused: . Sooooo, today I shall not be committing to anything of the sort. With the pressure off I might find it more achievable!! ;)

    Made lunch. Car has petrol. Will be watching a DVD we borrowed (from a friend) tonight. Did our weekly shop last night so have enough food.

    hi all,

    I am going for a no spend, did forget my lunch but I have a terrible headache and cold coming on so I think I will only be able to manage to eat some fruit that I already have sitting on my desk. Hopefully my colleagues will take pity on me and send me home early too....
