What have/will you spend today? Thurs 26th

Morning!

I've never started this thread off before, but i've not yet seen lovely Moozie online, and i'm in meetings most of the morning so will forget what i've spent if i don't write it down somewhere!

OH Is proper poorly, and i made him to go work (cruel, but he's self employed so...). I just spent £7 in Superdrug on Lemsip, paracetamol, strepsils, mouthwash and bubblebath. And some naughty go ahead biscuits (a Friday treat a day early!).

Good luck with your low spend days! x

  • It would be an NSD as I'm working at home today, but my boss (who lives 200 miles away) is flying to Paris from the airport 10 mins away from my house so she wants to meet me for coffee. The coffee will be at her expense, but my car parking will be at my own. Off to check the website to find out how much it'll set me back!

    Fortunately next month is a short month for me, as there's just 2 of us and I process payroll and I go on holiday on the 17th so need to have it sorted before then. December will be short too as we have early pay day ready for Christmas. It's January that's the killer!

    First time posting in these threads.

    Today I hope to only buy my daily papers. I don't need anything else and I'm getting good at not looking round "just in case" there is something I "need".

    Nearly spent £1.70 on Costa hot choc but they've run out of milk lol

    Resisted the urge to buy yogurt for breakfast this morning, so am hoping to keep up the non-spending all day!
