£4.03 so far - mostly robbed from H2B's pockets as soon as he walked in the door as I seemed to be having a bit of a no spend week - which is great for me!
I started off the week thinking I would have nothing to tell you today - but hurrah for the weekend spend!!0 -
I'm doing my best not to spend money at present, which is why I went for the lowest target - so for this week my total is £1.52, mostly from coins in pockets / lying about the house.
GQIf you have a talent, use it in every which way possible. Don't hoard it. Don't dole it out like a miser. Spend it lavishly like a millionaire intent on going broke.
