    stay away from shops is probably the best answer then your not going to be tempted to spend your tavel money.
    If it doesnt pay rent sell it.

    This is going to sound really mean, but I really don't mean to offend anyone. Sometimes I'm glad for those days when I've no accessible money, it allows me to get other things done - tidy my room, go out and exercise, just talk to friends for a bit, work on coursework. I'm really bad when it comes to getting organised (strange though that may be) and not having money gives me that drive to do something instead of just mopping around - I see it as preparing myself for having the money to spend.

    Of course some days I just curl up and go to sleep, or drool over the tech websites wishing.

    I have no money days most days lol, usually I go round to a friends, study or gossip. Gossip is a DFW dream, cheaper than a TV license and better than soaps!

    Spend time on MSE! I look for freebies, see how I can helpsupport/generally chat to other MSE'ers. I've just signed up for 3 months free DVD rental with love films.

    I push myself to do those jobs that I've been putting off and putting off.......stares out of the window at the gardening that needs doing and shudders........

  • Hi
    This weekend I have not wanted to spend any money so I have caught up on housework. I cleaned out my food cuboards and took stock of everything I have and thrown out anything out of date. I have done cooking with the kids and just generally chilled out and I feel better for it.

    Time to pick myself up and start again.
