    I spent £1.90 today, but then locked my purse in the safe at work. Broke the lock key (half in / out of the safe lock) and locksmith can't do a thing until he has a new barrel / shaft thingy to replace it with - so I'm going to have lots of NSDs until I get my purse back!

    Rog, I'm trying to view my imminent no spend days as the silver lining.

    Thought I'd add as well that the new "lock barrel thingy" (is that still too technical?:o) wont cost me a thing as work have to pay for it (the miserly gits in finance knew the key and lock were sticking but kept putting UD40 in and hoping for the best. Now it'll cost them loads a money to fix hehe!

    March GC £113.53 / £325
  • £9.00 on work lunch out (unavoidable, but budgeted £15.00 just in case).

    Actually, I could not post on the last 2 threads as I could not get to my computer, so I will confess all here!

    Spent £6.99 in cinema on Monday night, and then £2.50 on lunch yesterday.

    Have not had to spend any money on parking at work though (thought I would have to spend at least £5.00, although could be claimed back on work expenses) and my weekly moozie/pap budget was £20.00 so technically I have spent £18.49 and have £1.59 left to spend until Sunday!

    Have everything I need until then, so hopefully 4 NSD's in a row for me!

    Today I spent:

    47p on a bar of chocolate at lunchtime as I went to the village to pay in our spare change into our holiday fund and a cheque we got as an anniversary present :o

    then £5 on a book from the book people at work cheapest price anywhere (including their website) so I'm ok with that and having sat and looked through it I know I'll find it useful.

    Got another £40 cash out the cashpoint too - haven't got any out for a week - £20 each - OH even seems to be coping with the spending diary idea too :T
