How much have/will you spend today Friday 3/11?

Good morning lovely DFWs :D

Beautifully sunny morning down here but ever so cold! Did my eskimo impersonation again this morning on the way to work :rolleyes:

Have a bit of a headache this morning, I think it's down to being scared about seing the chiropodist this afternoon :eek: I tried to get it done at the hospital but they told me I'd have to wait at the A&E, average wait 2.5 hours. Well, life is too short and I've decided to bite the bullet and pay the £30 odd. Please don't tell me off, it will come out of the entertainment budget which is kinda ironic! :rotfl:

I spent 0.95p this morning on a pasty, treat before the pain! ;) Apart from the chiropodist, I am not spending anything else.

If you want to update on the Sunday to Friday challenge today, that's fine, but I'll ask for your updates on Sunday anyway :)

Hope you all have a good day and keep it low!

Moozie x

  • So far, so good.. I'm in profit :D the parking meter is broken so it credited me with having paid AND gave me my £2 back AND I found a futher £2 in the machine from where it has obviously done the same to someone else that didn't notice! :) That is 2 days of free parking next week (or lunch, since I forgot mine today)

    I got to the end of our road (long, downhill road) this morning and realised i'd forgotten my lunch. As it's Friday, I thought 'oh, will buy some....' BUT I made myself walk back UP hill and get my leftover pasta and apples that i'd left by the fridge. That's a good bobbadog, that is!

    Just took £10 out the bank to buy OH some fingerless gloves (he's getting so cold!) and may get his Mum some flowers on the way home tonight (we're staying with them this weekend). Love to all of you MSE-ers!

    Spent nowt yet haven't been out im just wondering how much i could get by on per week if i could give up the fags. As a rough guess i reckon i could clear my 14.5k debts inside 3 years giving up the weed but its easier said than done.

    I can't spend anything as I don't have anything until my DH gets paid on the 15th, don't know how I'm going to get food till then! beans on toast is looking likely for a few days.

    Have enough petrol to get to second job tonight but won't get paid it for 2 weeks.

    Am selling some items on ebay so hopefully will make enough to tide us over till then.

    Hope everyone else has a better day :-)
  • Im going to do some crimbo shopping after work and im going out tonight to a comedy show (i won the tickets, i didnt buy them!) so i hate to think how much ill spend!

    I got a big tax rebate this week so im not too worried about spending a bit on :beer:

  • Nothing apart from may splash out 70p on a cup of tea while watching DD's gymnastic class tonight. Having said that, think there's only two weeks of classes left which means fees are probably due - it could cost me £40, eek!
  • Good luck at the chiropodist Moozie!

    Should be another NSD for me today, but I do need to go out and buy some bits and pieces, so just need to make sure I only spend on the joint budget!
    Bank loan - [STRIKE]£9949.52 [/STRIKE]/ £8705.83 * Loan from DH - [STRIKE]£600[/STRIKE]/ £350 * Overdraft - [STRIKE]£0[/STRIKE] £648.47
    Total debt at LBM (09 2006) - £10,549.52 Total debt on 14 Mar 2007 - £9704.30 - 8.1% Paid off
    This week's budget - £20 Spend so far - £32.50
    March's target - keep overdraft below £600 - failed :(

    Proud to be dealing with my debts

  • Good morning, hopefully this will be a no spend day. Nothing planned. Good luck at the chiropodist Moozie, it'll be such a relief when you've been.

    Have a great day everyone x
