Thanks for the ideas folks. Does anyone have a good recipe for bath salts as my dd wants to make some for her. I have loads of empty jars and fancy bottles but can't think of anything to use them for except bath salts without spending money. B'day is this Wednesday so haven't left much time for planning and making things.

Another no spend today for me

Just bought stamps today as I need to post some things this week.

CAFCgirl please forgive me for I have sinned :rolleyes: I have agreed to go away for the weekend on the 23 March. We've been invitied to a gig (several bands that I really like) and put on the guest list (so no cost there), the BF is paying for the hotel (£26 quid travelodge as it's too far too drive back afterwards). I don't drink so won't be spending any money there, but I know we'll end up eating out, though it will probably be chips from the chip shop and then breakfast in a supermarket cafe (dead cheap!). I know it's not essential, and completely not in the spirit of this challenge, however I will try my best to limit the amount of additional spending and take some food and drink with us out of the grocery budget so we don't spend a fortune at the service station like we normally do. Anything I do spend will come out of my holiday savings account.

ooooooooooooooh a confession!!!!

However hun, if you've got a holiday budget, and you're going to be spending out of that, instead of your every day monthly wage then you're not really spending money since you've had it allocated to be spent.....

See if you can get the boyfriend to pay for food too

right i have failed i went to lidls and i spent £1.99 on... cauliflower, tissues, cola (the only type i am allowed to drink due to the ingrediants) and bananas now i did need most of that except the cola but it wasnt budgeted just extra stuff i knew while i was walking into the shop 'oh i am going to fail this challenge now' but it still didnt stop me... sorry

CAFCGirl

well consider it essential if its the only thing you can drink, don't want you dying of thirst now do we....

Plus £1.99 is hardly breaking the bank, would be different if you'd spent £1.99 on cola alone.........

Pick yourself up and try again, harder...........
P.S Only forgiving because I love the little paper bag over the head smilie!

:rotfl: cafcgirl but i must say i do have 16 bottles of 2l water at home here (brought because i usually only drink water) so i have no legs to stand on
i do however have £45.36 so far ending on ebay in 25min but thats for my debt...

p.s. cute isnt he

CAFCGirl

in which case, you failed! LOL

Learn from it and start again.

Have decided not to leave the house today as feeling pretty low and crappy so if I do walk through town to see landlord I'll end up spending money. Will go tomorrow on break from work instead.....
