I have to vist my cousin in hospital today - but she is is hospital in Central London, so I have to pay to get there (I do work in Central London, but my big MSE thing, was to only pay up to ZOne 2 and then walk, as its not too far)
I can still save money by:
Having lunch at home before I go to the hospital
Take a bottle of water with me
Take a book/DS/ipod/knitting so I don't buy a magazine
Bake some biscuits for my cousin as a little gift0 -

Hey everyone!
Thanks for starting us off Candy, I have a HTC Desire HD coming on Tuesday so I'm pretty excited about that, my first smartphone & I managed to get it for just £20 a month :j I guess it's because I've pumped so much money into them over the past 18months :rotfl:
Nowpanicking - Aww congratulations! Have a great day.
Lily - That crumble sounds delicious, congratulations on paying off the credit card!
Snoop - Congrats on the 2lb weightloss!
Chanie - Sorry to hear about your cousin, hope she is on the mend.
