What Have You Spent Today - Saturday 16th December?

Sorry sorry sorry if there is already a daily spend thread for today but I couldn't see it...:confused:

So I thought I would start one now.

I have spent £42.03 on the weekly shop and that's it.
An old mate took me out for lunch as well and insisted on paying...what luck!

Anyway I am a bit gutted as I missed the weekly budget I set by £8. And I am annoyed with myself because that £8 was what I spent on secret Santa present which I FORGOT TO BUDGET FOR!!! :mad: :mad:

So I failed. :sad:

    I have spent nothing, but nothing in the fridge! And getting thirsty/hungry/bored. A dangerous combination. :/

    NOTHING wohooo!! In fact I've only just got changed out of my PJs, into some clean ones :rotfl: Managed to stay in and not spend, even if DP did try to talk me into going to the model shop for him, I just refused to get dressed :rotfl:

    Downside being apart from my bath and occasional sneeks on here I've done housework ALL day :(
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    I spent £1.69 on a sandwich and a packet of crisps :) so I'm quite pleased with that total. I've been travelling most of the day though, so I haven't really had the chance to spend or be tempted by anything!! :T

    For lunch in town today whilst Christmas shopping I fancied a cheese sandwich.

    Rather than pay £2-3 for a baguette or prepared sandwich, I went to Sainsbury's and bought 6 freshly baked granary rolls (39p) and a 6 pack of Diarylea minatures (50p).

    Net result; 6 "cheese" rolls for 79p :D
