    Me again £5.43 in sainsburys for treats.

    Means I only get £5 spends for next week.

    Now I have to go arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Need a new windscreen for car. Noticed a crack tonight on the windscreen it is virtually under the wiper. Car was due an MOT tomorrow. Popped around and asked them they told us because it is with in the wiper movement area it is fail.

    So had cancel the MOT and wait until next week now.

    As victor Meldrew said "I don't believe it"

    Will see if I can claim off my insurance for some of it though. Why could it not wait until after the MOT.

    Looking like to be a £150 so we would get back £50 better then nothing I suppose.

    Yours

    £8.60 train fares and £7 lunch for me and DS. We went to London, to Science Museum andNatural History Museum, yes I know we should have taken a paked lunch but we are so DFW a tthe moment and it's nice to give DS a treat every so often. Hey at least the museum entrances are free, and we avoided gift shops and paid extra attractions!

    well, it's been kind of a big day - our work is taking part in the "bike to work" scheme, meaning you can buy a bike at 50% off and spread the payments over the next year (it comes out of your salary, there's no interest charge or whatever). I decided to go for that & have ordered a bike retail price £395. So not exactly a no spend day, but then the cash doesn't start coming out of my pocket till payday either. The aim of getting the bike is to use the car less & get fitter, so hopefully it will reduce some expenditure in the long run and make me healthier.

    OH MY GOD!

    First no spend of the week!

    LOL And it's friday!

    Well long may it continue. Got my lunch for work tomorrow so no spends needed there.

    Although have to post ebay item, but have got the stamp free from work (I was given it!) So should all go swimmingly!

    Plus I'm spending sunday doing housework and making some salt dough ornaments so lets see if I can make it a long weekend!
