    Mentally I spent about £400 in a clothes shop in my lunch hour

    Physically, I spent zero again today (2 days in a row, but I'm new to this)

    In fact, I came home in profit today, and on my walk home from work I picked up 1 x 5p coin, 1 x 2p coin and 3 x 1p coins! This from the woman who used to think it was demeaning to bend down to pick something up off the pavement! Amazing what a light bulb moment can do to change things, isn't it.

    I don't anticipate spending anything tomorrow either, but we'll see! Can I really make it three days in a row? Especially when it's market day and I usually spend about £9 or £10 at the fruit/veg stall (that's for 2 adults and 3 teenagers, mind you - not just for me!)

    Just 1.50 for me today - 3 cans of pop in work. I know it's a rip off but Diet coke is better than Mars bars!

    £6.09 for me today - they were out of cat litter when I did my big grocery shop the other day so I needed that, and I stocked up on cat food (to save me having to buy it later in the week - and ruining yet another potential no spend day!!:rolleyes:) and got some reduced items too - all of those have been popped in the freezer to save on future shopping bills...:j

    Pretty pleased with that...in the past its been known to be a lot more damaging when I "just pop in..." for something!:rotfl:
