Hello all,
Today I spent approx £2.80 on some stamps and a magazine. We went food shopping tonight and spent £42 but this is from a different budget.

Spent £17.37 in total. Budget was between £5 and £10 a day but some days have been under I think??? so don't feel this is too bad. It wasn't on 'frivolities' (that's a great word
) it was stuff we needed. Hope everyone else is keeping on track and staying positive. Official DFW Nerd Club Member no:219In the Court Of The Crimson KingI don't believe in the concept of hell, but if I did I would think of it as filled with people who were cruel to animals.Gary Larson0 -

This is a great thread. I'm really determined to keep a grip on my spending. I don't miss payments or anything but I waste money that could be saved. I've got a major birthday in 2 years and I want the holiday of a lifetime to save for. I also want to pay off a loan I have earlier and be debt free.
Does anyone keep a spending diary and, if so, do you find that it helps you. Sorry for asking but i'm looking for the best way to help myself so all ideas welcome Lightbulb moment 2/1/07First Direct £2500 loan

^^^^^^
a spending diary is a great idea as it lets you see where all your money goes.

Bit of a spender for me today...
£10 in Primark on a pretty little black tunic but it's one of those things that I'll dress up and down and will see me through the spring for work and play so money well spent. Oh, and they had the most gorgeous chiffon blouse which I grudgingly walked away from!
£3.99 on a bottle of exam-pass celebration wine which should last me through the weekend.
£1.99 on salmon because a cat's got to eat!:eek: What if the hokey cokey is what it's all about? :eek:Official "Bring back Mark and Lard NOW! or else (please)" Member 160 -

£3.80 on a round of drinks in the pub at lunch and
£2.99 on roadside munchies (stopped at a very handy motorway side tesco at carlisle)
