How much have you spent today Friday 10th November?

Morning all,

I couldn't see this thread so I thought I would start it.

I am going to spend £1 on soup and a roll for lunch. Still not been to the supermarket since getting back from my hols and am going to see if I can eek out my freezer and cupboard contents until next week.

This weekend I have a budget of £20 and I am aiming to only spend £10.

Hope everyone is well, have a good low spend day!

    :wave: Morning Imelda and Poorbutrich - good job it's Friday, such a long week. Today I'll be spending about a fiver or so cleaning my car to sell on Ebay. As tight as I am with money, the cost of cleaning outweighs the selling price, so fingers crossed someone will want my mini! And I'll get clubcard points from Mr T's for using their carwash
    Have a good day one and all.......:T
    Love Sas :D

    oooh that reminds me Sassers, my car is filthy! I left it at my OH's while I was away, right next to a busy road and a cement works- nice.
    Not spending money on it though, will dig out that bucket and sponge (and hand over to OH :D )

  • Morning :)

    Another NSD for me, I think. Although I'm working at the NEC over the weekend and staying there overnight tonight so there might be a few drinks involved, but in the long run that will come out of the money I earn (not my job, just helping a friend)

    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

    Morning all :D Hoping for a NSD today and with eldest boy off sick not planning on going anywhere so I might just do it..:D
  • Im going to buy some goodies and cider on the way home for watching a movie tonight, and some bread to have lunch when i get home. Hopefully no more than £5-7. I really admire how some of you can go for days without spending a penny, i always give in to the chippy van outside work or the chocolate machine! :(

    If your worst financial vice is the odd bar of chocolate and some chips, I think you'll do just fine!
