    Hello,

    I'm like Tiggy and Roougers, read a few of these and inspired to join in if that's ok.

    Low spend day for me:
    • Was meant to be going out for lunch today at work - cancelled as boss off sick so bought sandwiches instead. (So cost me less - £3.10 rather than £10-15).
    • Make packed lunch for work tomorrow
    • Go to bed early tonight - I end up sleeping in, having to rush and not eating breakfast so buy stuff from sandwich lady instead.
    • Put £10 of the money I took out for lunch into savings today - towards a trip to Houston in October.
    • Check bank account to see if cashed-in Premium Bonds have been paid in yet (£300 towards the overdraft clearance project!)
    • Sort out heating timer and room thermostat.
    Have a good day
