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....:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
Edit: Just realised - may be going to that scourge of moneysavers everywhere...I K E A:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
I resisted buying a sandwich for lunch - my tracker bar and two bananas were supplemented with two shortbread biscuits acquired at the last hotel I stayed at on business :money:
Now, just the IKEA cannonball run to contend with...

I am going for a low spender, have breakfast and lunch covered and just heard from OH that he has sourced food for dinner- result! So I might use the £1 in my purse to buy a lime and soda in the pub at lunchtime, it's been there since Monday and is burning a hole in my pocket.
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.
What is he? I can't see him on my computer (nobody has avatars here...)LBM: Nov 2004 Debt Apr06: £19,273.46 (Highest)

Going out tonight to local pub for mates birthday but hoping not to spend more than £4.3 kids(DS1 6 Nov, DS2 8 Feb, DS3 24 Dec) a hubby and two cats - I love to save every penny I can!
