    I've spent an unbelievable amount of money today, I'm still in shock:

    £10 on postage of an ebay item,
    £27 on a months worth of food from Iceland,
    £38 on a family ticket for Pleasurewood Hills for tomorrow :eek:
    £4.99 on a pair of school trousers,
    £4.99 on a school blouse,
    £10 on phone credit (which lasts about 5 weeks).

    You may have spent a lot black-saturn but looking at your items, they were either paid for (ebay) or will last a few weeks (food and phone credit) which really sounds like planned and needed spending ;)

  • I wish I had the motivation to make my work lunch, need to force a routine into myself.

    Today I've spent £2.05 on lunch, 75p on cups of tea. £2.80 in one day!! Lunch wasn't even nice!!

    The only good habit I have developed is not EVER paying with 5p's 2p's and 1p's, and putting these in a jar when I get home at night! That will soon build up.
