Poohbear Love the fact you're charging them :rotfl:
Elmer Well done you when you've paid off the card :T Think of all the other things you could do with the extra and that should keep your inspiration going :rotfl:

I'm back at work and I've had a no spend today. Must update my sig :rotfl:

CAFCGirl

No Spender for my too!

Well actually..............................
Not only was it a no spender but it prooved to be a MASSIVE EARNER!

Oh yes folks you guessed it, I got my deposit back!!!
All £825 of it!!! Even though only £412.50 of it was mine!(Long story, other half is previous flatmates share that she left to buy herself out of tenancy early!)

So I got all of it, even though technically I owed landlord £150 (had a month of half rent!) and I burnt a hole in the carpet with an iron!!!! (Dont ask!)

So feeling pretty super marvellous!!!
My boss even came to my shop today and bought me a birthday cake...
How lovely!!

Feeling much better now I've got the deposit back because it means I can pay some stuff off and I'm not even slightly tempted to buy a new birthday outfit...........

I'm not honestly..............

I promise............:o

Nope, not even shoes...................


OK.... maybe shoes :rolleyes:

Wow well done everyone, I am so impressed with you lot! poohbear - well done on your homemade gifts, I'm sure she'll love them and you're teaching the kids good moneysaving attitudes.

Elmer that is fantastic saving so much, well done!

And CAFCgirl - what a brilliant birthday present! Go and pay your debts off first thing in the morning before you get waylaid by a shoeshop. I hope the 'extra' £412 makes you feel better about your ratfink flatmate.

I had a no-spender today. I spent my long lunch break in the British Museum. And what a wonderful place it is. I recommend it highly to anyone wanting a free and interesting outing.

Birthday promise, avoid shoe shops..............

i've really gotta sell some stuff on ebay ... got loads of books (but they look so nice on the shelf!!) and CDs ... it's just getting round to listing everything.

another NSD for me ... i think it's almost ingrained in me now ... what's the saying? do something for how long and it becomes a habit??

brassiclint

and well done CAFCGirl with the deposit ... how lovely is that!!! are you sure you couldn't just spare a little for a pair of shoes?? put a little aside until after lent .... (i wanted to put a little devil smilie here but couldn't find one!)

CAFCGirl

cafcgirl well done on getting your deposit back :T at long last :rotfl:

well today i spent £9.99 but in my defence it was for a red nose day tshirt so 75% will go to charity ~ i could have got one 'made' in work that cost £3.50 but that was all going into my employers pockets... naughty naughty :rotfl: and i will also give the £10 in £2 coins i have saved in to rnd on friday :T dont know if this counts of not :rolleyes:
