    I'm afraid I bought a 'Cheese Ploughman's' sandwich, in Tesco, for my lunch today, as there was no unfrozen bread at home.:o
    The good news is that it was reduced to 65pence, so I don't feel too bad. :beer:
    Tomorrow I'm taking my youngest daughter back to Manchester - Fuel is paid for, but it will probably cost me a big breakfast at Morrisons', Walsall, on the way up.:rolleyes:

  • Walsall!!!!! Great, isn't it?

    Spent 40p on local paper, the jobs are in today, trying to persuade OH to get work.

    Have had 3 NSD's before that though....AND I''ve got through the day (so far) with no cigarette cravings :D

  • Really pleased with myself today as went to the zoo (we are card holders so that didnt cost anything) and only spent £1.20 on a drink. We took packed lunch and avoided the temptation of buying something from the gift shop. Also spent 0.40 sending an ebay item.

    Ended up at 1.86 - 70p bus, 1.01 on toilet roll (pretty essential I think!) and a 15p toffee yoghurt (yum). I challenged myself on Monday that I wouldn't spend any more than I had left in my purse for the rest of the week (7.70) and I've still got 3.30 left so feeling a little virtuous :) Oh and I sold a book on Greenmetropolis.com a couple of days after listing some so that's even better!

    And I just found 20p inside a shoe... not one I was wearing at the time I must add ;)

    F85 - saw you in another thread - hope dissertation went ok!

    I had a NSD, but the karma of the universe decided to counter that, and a client canceled my work for next week (I am self employed and have 3 clients - one is on hol, the other out of the office all week and the third.... has canceled and rescheduled to the week after!)

    Grr...
