Packet of crisps

I made my lunch this morning and packed it all up - took it to work with me.

Notice that I've left my packet of crisps at home. Texted my wife, weeping (;) ). She said to buy another.

BUT NO! It is a NO SPEND DAY TODAY! Not even a missing packet of crisps will make me spend money!

Doesn't matter how petty or small the spend is folks, an unplanned spend is a Bad Thing(tm). Those all add up if we let them. So this week, resolve to wipe out the unplanned spends, even if it means making do with a packet of crunchy beef flavoured goodness.

Anyone else being virtuous and not spending in spite of the temptation due to forgetting something today? :A
Debt free, moved, got new stuff for the new flat - got everything I wanted and need - now just saving.
