    Just popped in to say Good Luck, keep posting and using the demotivator and you will soon see the savings mount up.

    ps - STOP buying lunch! Take it from home :D (stern words!)

    I love the demotivator, works wonders when you're having a moment of weakness (which I used to have quite often!)

    Hey Shadowsfall!!

    What a great idea!! Thanks for posting your diary and good luck with it!

    I`m going to join you in your lunchy-saving plan and save myself a whopping £1,250 a year!

    Here goes.............Banana and peanut butter on sesame rice cakes = £3.20 for 4 days = 80p a day!!

  • Well done on the NSD weekend! Shame about the catastrophe with the wine...still calories saved there as well!

    One thing to remember when filling up the car, if you fill it till its full you`re carrying round extra weight so you will use more petrol. Also, stop when the petrol pump clicks...anything you put in after will spill out of the overflow hole.

    I`ve bought some marmite to have on my ricecakes this week, with bananas so i`ve spent £2.39 this morning. But that will last me months. Also bought some licorice sticks to chew on in stead of chocolate. Not nearly as yummy but healthier. I have a pile of veg in the fridge which i will make into a veg/lentil curry which will do for 3 days and my neighbours have donated some of their freshly laid eggs so i COULD end up having an almost NSW!!!
