  • A no spend day for me today again, plus I am getting £50 that i'm owed for a few jobs i've done tonight, which is going straight off my studio account :T
  • Its a low-spend for me, but would have preferred a no-spend!

    £2.99 on some batteries, they were the cheapest i could find (they need to be half decent coz theyre for an alarm clock!)

    And 50p on a pretty big yummy cabbage:T

    Total: £3.49

  • Definitely a battery day - Only spend for today is some more batteries - just can't decide between another cheapish pack of disposables, or to spend a bit more and get rechargeables and charger (£5ish vs £25ish). Use them in minidisc player and radios, so I do get through the batteries a bit...
    FWLBM - 1st Sept 06 - Debts: around £80k (not entirely sure...:o )
  • Its my last day at work so we're all going out for lunch, so will spend a maximum of €7! Or maybe my lovely colleagues will offer to pay seeing as this is my last day....wont hold my breath!!

    Other than that i'm not spending another penny...i mean cent!!

    Have a great DFW stylee weekend!

    today will be a highish spend, gotta go and get some blank dvds then a couple of bottles of wine for a friends housewarming tonight and while im out will prob try and get some healthy snacks from the supermarket
  • Yesterday went horribly wrong - snack and coffee as well as a good petrol feed for the car.

    Today, hopefully, should be a different story. A possible no spend day, indeed.

    Can't decide whether to eat two bananas and a tracker bar or to get a sandwich....:naughty:

    P.S New avatar, he's my aim, I have to save up enough to buy him, and budget enough to "run" him before I can commit to getting him, hopefully next summer.

    I'll probably be spending today, but I became officially self employed (and no longer on benefit) a couple of days ago, so I think I deserve to celebrate once before going back to being 'good' again... don't I?
    :T Saubryn, well done :T I must have missed the self employment news but wanted to offer my congrats! :beer:
    Only problem with my job (in a taxi office) is that its alway crazybusy and I always have to work the phones overnight on Fri and Sat...?

    I've spent 42.92 on food shopping. Hopefully that will be all today. My mum has taken the 3 kiddiwinkies to a farm today so that has saved me money. I also want to do a carbbot this weekend and make some money to put towards our holiday during the October half term.
    Keep Calm:cool: Smile :D , Enjoy!:dance:
