    I bought two bananas (fruit is good for me:rotfl: ) and it was that or chocolate so went for the healthy (and actually cheaper) option.

    evening!
    Pap how on earth did you make all that? ya gotta give me some tips i can barely make 20 paninis in an hour!d'oh!
    anyhoo spent £100 paying off the last of a bill which sucks as i now have about £3 before am back in my overdraft grr!! need to get going on ebay! apart from that nowt! no time too. C x
  • I have to confess, I had a massive splurge over Easter - the first since my LBM: proper laptop rucksack (£40) to replace my knackered £5 satchel thing, haircut and highlights (£80) to make me feel better after a rotten few months...these are covered by my £120 cashback from Quidco. Of course then I was on a roll so bought a new book , but through Quidco and WHSmith so got it cheap.

    Then I bought some new jeans and work trews, a work top and going-outy top, and a summer jacket (£100 in all :eek:) And you know, whilst it's nice to have some new stuff to replace my tatty old crap, I didn't get the same buzz out of it as I used to. I think DFW has brainwashed me!

    Anyway, to get to the point...I spent about £7 today (foil, batteries for mp3 player and shoe polish) No splurging. Think I am back on track...

    Well, after my NSD yesterday (first in months) I had a bit of a wobble today.
    3 cans of pop from the machine in work - £1.50 (I know!!)
    £3.70 in the garage (naughty cigs and chewing gum (yes, I know!!!!)
    86p on Bisto gravy - essential for mash - mash just isn't mash without gravy!!

    So a total of £6.06p!!:o
    Will try to spend nothing tomorrow!

    hi ciara, i just do, my first set of sandwiches (the same amount) the first time i made them to nearly 2 hours without labeling :eek: now i do 12 at once, pack them, seal them and date dot them :) then they only need labeling (with the filling) and there done... baggetes i do them all at one, all cut, all buttered, all filled with salad, all filled with various fillings, bagged, sealed, date doted and labeled :D jacket pots are easy and thats just filling little pots :) i am the whizz in our coffee shop i am now the princess sandwich maker (the queen is still there buit i have taken over her best time) ;) and i must say all of that was done while serving customers too :T

    its a sad little world i lead but when you have to make that many sandwiches with no company/music/radio and bugging customers it keeps me sane... its the only job that i dont mind doing no one else will do them, none will get done tom and i will do them again thursday, i dread to think what they will do when i start my holiday monday :eek:

    My first post in aggggeeeees, somewhat with my tail between my legs. I've been spending like a trooper recently, watching my debt free date spiral off into the future.

    I don't *think* I've actually spent anything today so I'll take it as my first no spend day of the rest of the month. I can't possibly need to buy anything more in the next 20 days I hope....

    cheers for starting the thread catt, had an early at work, did contemplate being five mins late and starting the thread at 5am but I was so asleep I couldn't find the on button on the pc :rotfl:


    today has been a nsd, in fact I'm £1 up as I found a squid in a locker at work! Going to the yoga class this evening but am planning on leaving my purse at home.


    keep it low folks :T

    erm take two. was distracted from study by a terrible terrible man! he tempted me into his evil beer garden! spent £1.20 on a diet iron bru (see not all that bad) then gave me a £2 coin for food, though I never bought any so I never spent anything either :D
