Earlier I said I might buy something to drink, but I didn't, so still a NSD for me. Really don't know what's going on. I haven't even tried to stick to a budget this week and have only spent £2.99!! Think I need to get out more!

Spent £8 on a chopping board that we needed desperately.

Other than that, only *spent* the £2 that I have given to the piggybank for the £2 Club here on MSE!

NSD for me today. Walked to the local park with my daughter and spent a pleasant hour or so there, so nothing spent.

First time i have posted on this thread.
Recentley i looked at ways to save money everyday they include:

Re-filling soft drinks bottles from 2 litre bottles -sometimes with squash which makes it even cheaper

Walking places - save about £6 a week doing this,which a lot considering id drive to town or uni which are both a 10 minute walk away!!

Not buying a newspaper - saves 40p a day as i read articles online now.



Today ihave spent:

£2 on a new fish tank as 1 of my fish is weaker tan the others and was on deaths door on thursday but now hes on his own with his own food he already looks better .£2 well spent.

£1.70 on a bacon butty - will make my own next week instead of buying one!

£0.42 on a bag of crisps for dinner

and that all ive spent today,plus i got a job offer on wednesday which i start next week so a goo money saving week .

Sorry to bore you all

Well today spent:
£1 on a pan and brush set.
£6 on lock-and-lock rip-offs from poundstretcher in my quest to find cheap and reliable freezer to microwave lunch boxes. Don't buy Woolworth's ones kids...
£3.50 on a wrench to get my wheel nuts off - the one that comes with the car is obviously for decorative purposes.

I did look in TK-Maxx but didn't buy anything. Looked at the designer boxers and went "How much!" Later found out that was cheap. :rolleyes:
