    The major question for me today is, can I drive 450 miles on one tank of fuel? (And I didn't even fill it to the brim yesterday.) Friday will definitely be an NSD, but whether today is one as well depends on my hypermiling skills.

    Apart from petrol, no other money spent. I brought packed lunch to work once again, so no problems there.

    Morning LJ, and everyone of course - thanks for starting the thread.:beer:

    I have not got a clue if I will spend anything today. I'm hoping the answer is no, as I have packed my youngest daughter off to town, on the train, this morning. My wife is asleep, because she did a night shift. So, at the moment, just me, the cats and the computer.:j :j
    But, being ever the pessimist, something is BOUND to happen, to shatter this otherwise idyllic calm. :rolleyes:
    So I'll post later if I spend anything - at the moment I'm keeping 'everything low'. :D

    Morning (just!).. 70p on the bus today because the rare cheaper fare one turned up just at the right time :)

    That should be all.. brought a massive tub of pasta in for lunch so hopefully no overpriced snacks!

    Can't believe how much posting on here is making me stop and think about what I usually spend on odds and ends each day...

    Agreed! Normally I wouldn't think about going out and spending even a couple of quid every lunchtime if not more! But I know I can't/shouldn't and my bank balance is looking good because of it! :T

    Morning all.

    Feeling fed up so it could be a bad day spending-wise.....

    I've been up all night with stomach cramp and backache, still deaf in one ear and really snotty with this flippin' cold, and still coughing like a 90 year old, 40-a-day smoker. I've just remembered that the chinese take-away up the road is open at lunch times on Thursdays and Fridays.....and the baby REALLY wants chinese food for lunch!

    Noooooo......must......be.......strong........

    Will update later, unless I'm too ashamed :o
