    Hi Moozie,

    Sorry for not posting for the last couple of days - I've been a bit tied up with 'things' and I wouldn't like to post my spending for yesterday - suffice to say that I let one or two of my DFW ways drop.
    Anyway - I'm back on track - I had a No Spend Day today and I hope again tomorrow.
    I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
    If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

    evening folks. i know you guys don't start your challenge till sunday, but as i do mine fri-thurs it starts today. i spent £8.68 on the weekly shop, £3.21 for a box of coco pops :eek: and i've now discovered it's too big to fit in the cupboard!

    so that leaves me £1.32 till next friday...sounds scary when you put it like that.

    got my works halloween party tomorrow, but there is £40 entertainment budget which will pay for that...i also now have a date on wednesday :eek: which will (hopefully) be leftovers from the £40!

    have a nice weekend all x

    Aaaaaaarrrrrggggghhhhhhhh......

    My gear box died last night on the way home (could only get into either 3rd or 4th which isn't very helpful when you live on a hill!). So had to put it into to garage this morning. It also need a new exhaust and a new tyre which I had been saving up for, so I have asked them to do all three whilst it is in there. The part for the gear box is £38.55 plus VAT, so between that the tyre, exhaust and labour I think I'm looking at about £250. But about £150 of that was saved already. I'll update with final figure tomorrow. :(

    Spent 1 whole £ today on sending a letter by recorded delivery. As thats the only thing I've spent since last Saturday though I don't mind.

    Going to have to put petrol in the car tomorrow though & do my food shopping.
