Well done ciara!:j
I've had another no spend day although was going to buy soothers too, but found some old rather sticky ones in our first aid box - they seem to have done the trick though!
One of my staff today was talking about buying new clothes and having a spray tan and I found myself doing the do you really need them routine!
Also my colleague brought Maccy D's coffees to our meeting and I saw a save the tokens get a free cup sticker on the cups so peeled them off - they looked at me a little strangely, but when it comes around to my turn it may not cost me anything:rotfl:0 -
Great stuff Pippo!
Well I made it home, with no spend in my pocket.Made dinner out of the cupboards and then started on Plan B with the MIL (Saves typing BF's MUM!)
Throat is feeling much better convinced that anti-b's were a total waste of money so annoyed that I spent money on that!
Payday for me today so I'm going to make sure I pay what bills aren't DD tomorrow. Got lots to do tonight i.e filing and some post to complete.
Even went to the library at lunchtime as was feeling the need for a bookand cost me nothing

Sue, I wouldnt like you to think I am indulging my children. They have had to put up with homemade cakes in their lunchboxes every day!
Sea - Hope I haven't offended you - didn't think for a moment that you were indulging your children, just giving them a treat ...... i love home made cakes - yum! yum!:rotfl: :rotfl:When you were born, you were crying and everyone around was smiling. Live your life so at the end, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying! :rotfl:0 -

Right well spent money last night
But it was bills, so the challenge is still on!!!!
Pay day for me yesterday and I have so far, paid £150 electricity bill, and £70 council tax.
Updating my spreadsheet today, and meal planning so I can do that online. That way I wont be tempted by things i shouldn't be!!!!
Then just a couple of letters to write. I'm still going after having my PPI cancelled, and Orange are yet to get back to me about my contract.
Thats about all I've got on for today. I'm anticipating a milk spend though. I've found the local shop so no walking to tesco for it.That in iteself saves money!Wealth is not measured by currency0
