What have you spent today, Sunday 20th August?

Hi did a search and couldn't find a thread on this topic for today, so have started one, hope no one minds...

Don't know why I have since I've had quite an expensive day - spent £25 on a present! & £4 for the window cleaner! (yes I know I should clean 'em myself, but I'm so crap with ladders & heights). So, spent lots of money... and I'll bet everyone else has spent nothing at all cos it's Sunday :o

    Not left the house. Spent all day working on Uni stuff. So no spend today.
    Lets hope the rest of the week follows this trend.
    Older 2 DD's are away so no demand from them for money all week!
    I miss them but it's certainly cheaper when thier not here!:rolleyes:

    I spent £5.25 on two new mugs (reduced) and a couple of poached egg steamer ring things (also reduced) in Cargo Home Shop. I had broken two mugs recently and I love poached eggs but don't have them very often - very cheap/DFW meal...poached eggs on granary toast with tomato sauce.....mmmm!

    I also spent £8 on a 2 for £8 underwear deal in BHS. I bought some of the Sloggi (sp?) low slung 'no vpl under trousers' undies which are great!

    Euw @ VPLs....oh and pink thongs poking outta the top of jeans...euuwwwww :rotfl:

    I've spent £390 on topping up my online gambling accounts! :D

    But I can withdraw it all later tonight! It's just for this matched betting malarky! :p

    £10 mobile phone top-up - but that will last me about 4-5 months.
    Haven't been out of the house, so no other spending today!

    £30.85 in Asda this afternoon:o, but that included a bagful of bits and pieces for the freezer (which will last for more than just this week:p), and a birthday card, plus enough groceries for the week (I may have to pop back for some milk later in the week, but I have enough bread and veg for the week, so it should be just milk!:cool:).

    Not so bad, I guess - certainly less than it would have been before I found MSE!!:rolleyes:

  • I have spent £16.74 at the pub because we had our kiddies Christened today. Also spent £2.50 in Church for the collection and a cuppa after the service. Other than that, we have spent nothing.
