What have / will you spend today? Monday 1st October

Morning!

An absolute NSD for me! Just checked my online banking and EVIL BT have made yet ANOTHER balls up. Have been having an ongoing e-mail conversation with them for 2 months now. I don't have time to be on hold to them on the phone, so I think a strongly worded letter threatening them with Ofcom action is in order. Does anyone have a complaints address to hand?

But yes - anyway. NSD here. Spent £112 in Sainsburys on monthly shop on Saturday :eek:

    Thanks PAP. They're just so damn incompetent. They set up TWO Direct Debits, I cancelled one, now they've just changed one to £45 a MONTH. I only have BT Broadband (option 2) and i RARELY use the phone. Blimey, it's angered me so much i'm writing random words in capitals.

    Have a lovely day everyone x

    BT have the worse call centre menu ever. its impossible to speak to a human, or it feels like it. I managed to get in to £80 credit and what a problem I had to "speak" to someone to get it refunded. ended up hitting all the "wrong" menu options ;) to get in to the "sales" menu - funny enough they were very happy to answer that call.

    Morning Bob and Pap!

    Today will hopefully be a low spend day! Although I have just paid the £130.60 off my store card and closed the account!!!! But I had the money in savings so does it count??

    Hope everyone keeps it low x

    Morning all. I have never done this NSD thing before. But I have noticed that as i am more focused, the no spend days seem to happen more often.

    Morning all, have spent £1.95 on sending a parcel, other than that no plans to spend any more, except for maybe doing food shopping tonight.

    You've got my sympathies with the BT thing Bobbadog, have had a nightmare with them in the past. Blooming council have taken a wrong amount off me by direct debit today so will be doing a bit of shouting later on :mad:

    I was just about to post that I was having a NSD today but just remembered that I need to buy a big envelope and post my final coursework today, so I will be spending about £2.50.

    £5.70 on a day bus ticket so far, then £2.50 on lunch. Was meant to make my own today, had it all out ready to take, but I woke up late, never mind. :o
  • Off to osteopath later, but that's on a seperate budget for me so not sure if it counts as a NSD, but anyway that'll be £35 spent today, but nothing spent on any unecessary items.

    Cheers

    Today i have spent 80 quid on my months worth of bus passes.
    Plan to buy some disposable razors later, if the price is right, otherwise will grudgingly buy replacement razors for my Mach3 (which i got for free).

    Also planning on doing some revision in the pub (believe it or not, its the best place for me to revise as im relaxed and its quiet (ish)

    Also I wont be drinking beer, just going to have a coke or two.
