  • Evening all

    It was a spend day today but almost planned for. £15 on DS's school shoes, £27 on haircut, £10.30 at weight watchers meeting & £1.50 drinks because I forgot to take one with me :mad:. Managed a good hour of walking pushing DD around while delivering catalogues. Will be picking them up tomorrow so more exercise and hopefully some orders.

    Tomorrow will be a SFD. Off to have my late dinner but it's all come from the freezer so all good.

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Good advice siouxsie. Andrar, that's a tough one. I would probably go with the kitchen as you have to live there for a year...maybe make the savings some other way?

    A spend day today. Pity but it was on fuel, so necessary and used a T@sco voucher so got it as cheap as I could, but the lunch was £3 that was a stupid mistake on my part. OK I only had 4 hours sleep last night but I should have made myself a sandwich before I raced out again this morning. Have also just ordered a load of groceries from Wait£ose, £15 off voucher used, but loads to buy. Baking for charity though so it's all in a good cause and so I should cheer up really!!!!:)

  • Spend day for me today - grand total of £3. £1 on bus fare home and £2 for craft club.

    I went to the gym this morning, then walked to work. Took a packed lunch as usual. No alcohol for me.

    I did spend £25 in M&S but I used vouchers.

    My updated totals are:

    Food - £6.75/£100
    Petrol - 0/£70
    Misc - £3/£120

    Need to go and take a look in the freezer and take something out for tea tomorrow.
