    Hi all,

    I am going for a no spend, have brought (and eaten) my lunch, have snacks ready for before my evening class and have no cash in my purse.

    First this week and well overdue!
    Saving for an early retirement!

    Was intending to spend 29p on a brown roll to have with my soup, but don't actually have 29p cash. I can't put such a small amount on my card, am loathe to buy anything else or use a cashpoint, so no roll for me! Pfft. x
  • Have spent 50p on a much needed brown handbag (made by debenhams) from a charity shop (Old one falling to pieces). Why on earth did I ever buy new ones from department stores in years gone buy??? I'm still using one I bought in a charity shop nearly 10 years ago for £1.00 and I still get comments from total strangers saying how nice it is! no other spend required or intended!

    I have spent 3 pounds on milk and bread for the next couple of days.

    I also spent 5 quid buying and sending a little rag doll and a b'day card for that little disabled girl Charlotte Wyatt who will be 3 on Saturday. I got really emotional reading about her story the other day that she won't be at home for her b'day, prolly won't have any family there and has to find a foster family. She prolly won't realise it's there, but I just felt I had to do something. :o

    Will be a nsd tomorrow though.
