  • 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:

    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...

    Hi moozie and ozzyfan!

    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...)

    I wonder, if you go into your user CP and change your settings (untick something) maybe it will help? :confused:

    £2.30 to take my son swimming and the petrol to get there (8 mile round trip). My friend bought me a coffee so saved there - took drink and crisps for my tot so didn't need to buy them.

    Going out tonight to local pub for mates birthday but hoping not to spend more than £4.
