    Erm... £4.40 on cinema ticket that can be claimed back from work
    and £3.50 on lunch
    and then £8 odd in Asda and have since made some flapjacks (thanks OldStyle board for easy peasy receipe) - had some bad news this afternoon (which made my mates laugh, nasty mean beggers!) and I felt like blowing this year's budget on prawn crackers and chow mein... but I managed to rein myself in.

    Not a great day on the spending front, but it could have been worse... way worse!

    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

    Thought I'd wait till late to post, just in case I had to spend something, but pleased to confirm - no Spending Today!!!!
    Tomorrow will be a different story though.
