What have/will you spent/spend today Friday 9 Feb?

After my good news yestertag, I paid another £15 off my grad loan so it sits at a nice even £9000 outstanding (i like round numbers).

Also, have clearly been very good at not spending, as I had two weeks' budget left over in my account, so with tomorrow's £25 leaves me £75 or so guilt free spending money. Going away for the weekend, so will try to spend some without being too tight! (i really resent spending money these days - cos I'm tight)

Hope all are well, and keep it simple.

    Good morning lovely DFWs :)

    Thanks hbl for starting us off :T

    So glad it's Friday at last. It feels like it has been a very long week! I suppose feeling cold most of the time doesn't help either ;)

    I spent £2 on lots of bananas and oranges this morning and will need to get lunch later. I will update expenditure then.

    Have a great day every, stay warm and keep it low!

    Should be fairly cash spend free though for the weekend..... House sitting for a mate as of sunday for 4 days so she is paying me by letting me of an old debt to her!

    £2 on daily Park n Ride
    £20 on PRE-PAID tickets for said Park n Ride (saving me £4 in the next 2.5 weeks which may mean I can now have some NSD next week!)
    (£3.56 on Doritos and dips - I was naughty last night so thought I'd add it on to here today!)
    £1.50 on jobs paper if I can venture out at lunchtime - it's snowing again here!

    Fingers crossed thats it! :o
