    Hi,not only a total no spend day but!!3 free posh cofees and aFTER ANOTHER SH!!t day at work lovely landlord bought me & pops 3(!!) extra drinks each!!!I'm wobbling now but!We went out with our (his) drinking budget and we were still in pub 2 hours after we had spent up.... I think landlord hasn't caught up with the no unnecessary spends so thinks we are good for repeat custom!!!As my school report said 'easily lead!'Also I am very polite & it would be rude to refuse!!

    Hows everyones day been today?!

    I spent £2.86 on milk (can reclaim) and my breakfast and lunch for today, but it'll cover my lunches till at least friday, might need something saturday...

    So dont feel too bad on that one!
    Other than that, very busy day at work which is always good.
    Off to cook dinner now.

    Hope everyone has had a good day :)

    Hi,

    I've been feeling poorly so treated myself to some chicken soup at 2.80 (!) and it really made me feel better. I also then treated myself to a bottle of cherry lambrini at 1.79 so I think that's my unnecessary money all spent for this week.

    Is any1 else routing around looking for ebayable things for todays 10p listing day?

    Hope every1 has a good day.

    Luv Jx

    PS I saved 6.20 from mon and tues trainfares to work coz DDs were ill so I might get myself another chicken soup coz I feel rough again today - However I will go to tescos and buy it tinned for a fraction of the price coz we have got a microwave at work.

    Should be a no spender for me today.
    My lunch is in the fridge at work.... although I do need to post some bits out but that shouldn't cost much.

    Hopefully will get home with enough energy to ebay!
