It was a good :j freebie:j day today. I've been saving up points at Boots all year and now I'm starting my xmas shopping. So with points I bought:
Tea Hamper for my nan - £10.00
Manicure set for my step daughter - £8.00
Hot chocolate hamper for my inlaws - £18.00
and non of them cost me a penny :T
Then a woman stopped me in the street to do a market research survey on chocolate and for doing it I got a free Mars bar.
Then I went to Tesco and spent about £6.00 in there.
So today's purchases only cost me £6.00 :beer: :j :beer: :j :beer:2008 Comping ChallengeWon so far - £3010 Needed - £230Debt free since Oct 20040 -

Evening. Argh bad day. £78 on shopping but that included some Xmas presents to put away as starting early. £7 on lunch (for 3) decided to be lazy. £6 at local shop inc sons magazines, things like toothpaste and bleach I forgot from shopping. But I have done no spend for a few days, and I haven't been grocery shopping apart from bits and pieces for 3 weeks.One day I might be more organised...........

I'm not well, so I shopped online today and will sit back and wait for it to arrive tomorrow evening. I spend a lot less that way too, Just over £30 and no impulse buys!
But then, I had to go out after all, to get my mum's shopping.... and happened upon some heftily reduced chicken portions, so bought 3 packs for the freezer, and treated myself to one of those nice slowcookers for £9.98. (my old one was too big for the two of us, and will be freecycled).
Have also spent £500 of OH's money on loose covers for 2 sofas - but it's OK, he knows about it, and as it's not my money it doesn't really count does it?Official DFW Nerd No 096 - Proud to have dealt with my debt!0 -
Hiya all! First time posting on this thread

Have been keeping a lil' black book about how much I'm spending - never realised before how much rubbish I buy. Nor how much it costs me! :eek:
Am now thoroughly addicted to this site - great to have somewhere to shout "I've not spent a penny today!" without someone thinking I'm wierd! LOLOfficial DFW nerd 187 :T Highest debt Oct 06 £23,319 _pale_ Cleared end 09. :T
Student again now and trying to fight the debts that are creeping up again :eek:0
