What have/will you spend today - Tuesday 10th April?

Nearly the middle of April! Where does the year go!

I have to set up a savings account today as I MUST drip weekly money into it for my holiday in July - hope I can stick to it!

Today will be a NSD for me (AFAIK!) :T

Keep it low

(Miss ya Moozie!)

    Hi Skint-Catt! Morning everyone!

    I'm trying for a NSD day today, DS wants to go to the cinema, but I think I've managed to persuade him that if we sit on the sofa with a film and a bag of popcorn (already in the cupboard) and shut the curtains, it will be just the same!

    Just got to find a film to watch now!

    Have a good day everyone xxx

    Morning all :hello:

    I've been reading this thread for ages, so I thought I'd join along with everyone else!

    Today I will be spending around £10 on some HQ printer paper for my dissertation and some bubble wrap for an ebay parcel - other than that will be a NSD, as for the most part I'll be stuck in front of the computer working!

    Have a good one everybody.

    NSD for me. I think I've got enough in the tank to get me home, and to work and back tomorrow; if not, I'll be fuelling up a bit in the morning.

    f85: Personally, I wouldn't bother with the HQ paper. My Bachelor's report was on standard laser paper; it's the content that matters, after all :D

    (Not that my content was any good either, but ignoring that.)

    Anyway, I've brought lunch to work, even if it is Asda smartprice baps wrapped in a bag, so no spend there either.

    Attempting not to spend anything but am off work for one more day and am bored and fed up which is always a danger time for me... should be fine if I stay in and don't go on eBay... hopefully.....

    I'm hoping an ultra-HQ paper will distract the marker from the ultra-LQ content :D

    I joke of course, thanks for the tip.

    Hi S_C - and everybody (Special Hi to Moozie if she gets a chance to look in :A )

    Had hoped for a No Spend Day, but I had to take my wife's car to the garage. The work was 'warranty' so there should be no bill - hopefully. They asked me to come back in a couple of hours, so I decided to have a walk around town, and although I spent nothing in the shops, I did spend £1.60 on a 'Cappucino'. :eek:
    The gypsies were in town, trying to sell bunches of lavender - I told the woman that I had no money - she told me that 'there's a good change coming my way'. I could certainly do with one.:D
    I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
    If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

    Quick update - we're watching 'Thunderbirds the Movie', munching popcorn instead of lunch (I'm such a good Mother lol) and DS has just told me it's 'better that the cinema cos you can pause it while you go to the loo'. Bless him!

    So hurray, it WILL be a NSD!

    First day back at work for 10 days (hence my absence) - have been govoreeting around France, smecking my malenky gulliver off on the slopes of the Alps. Laughing because I managed to do so on a shoestring and came in at a mere £100 over budget (which will cost me £1 in interest on the interest paying section of my overdraft and I'll just absorb in next month's paycheck to bring me back to normal).

    I'm planning to go to Barcelona for a few days in May, so will have to be on strict budget from now until then to make that a reality. Perhaps now would be the time to start flogging the stuff on eBay which I've been meaning to do? (only every time I sit down and think, "what have I got and what is it worth" it's always around £5... so I never bother!)

    Today will be purchasing lunch as no food in the house save for saucisson and fraise jam! (oh, and cornichons).
