Yesterday was pants and today looks like it's heading the same way. Have already spend £1.05 on chocolate and hot chocolate. Still got to have lunch and I forgot to bring my Chilli with me so looks like I'll have to buy something from the Union.

I brought a sandwich, crisps, juice (x3) and an apple today from home...... I don't have the car and the nearest shop is too far from the office in unsuitable shoes.
Looks like a NSD for me today!!
Provided i can get home without going near a shop....... should be possible. Tea from freezer tonight so no need to venture into evil retailers!!!
Pass me my halo please!! :AI'm just a seething mass of contradictions....(it's part of my charm!)0 -

Thanks PaP - I'm going into town later, so I'll pop into Natwest. :beer:
Hope you feel better soon. - Perhaps my post number will cheer you up - I kept my 4000th Post for this thread - now you get my 5000th as well. :rotfl:I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

I spent £4 in veggie market and £5 in Somerfield. Have enough for week, and am batch cooking soup to last me for lunches, so all good. Also spent £1.50 on a VERY long feather duster for our damn ceilings.0

I apologise in advance because this might get a bit long.
I went into town today to buy a new pair of jeans, which I had already budgeted £20 for.
Spent £2.35 on bus fare to town.
Decided in the spirit of DFW I would have a look around Poundland. I’ve always been a bit of a snob when it came to pound shops and never ventured into one before. Well I fell in love with the place and couldn’t resist picking up a few bargains.
6 x lightbulbs
A backing tray
Colgate Advanced whitening toothpaste (Normally pay £2.35 for this in Tescos)
2 X jumbo packs of smarties
A packet of batteries
A packet of wallpaper scrapers.
Grand total = £6
Luckily I didn’t have more change on me otherwise I would have spent more.
After all my bargain hunting I was hungry and bought a hotdog = £2.70
Almost forgot I spent £2.78 on postage for my nephews birthday present.
On a more positive note I received a £10 Boots voucher from pigsback today so bought 2 pack of nappies (£7 special offer) and 2 packs of wet wipes (buy one get one free) with it. Reducing my tesco bill for this week by £12.
Plus the jeans I had budgeted £20 for only cost me £12.75.
And the best part – Halifax has increased my interest free overdraft by £1750 (I’m a mature student) so I’m putting increase towards my MBNA credit card debt which will save me a fair bit on interest.
So overall
£2.35 busfare
£6 in poundland
£2.70 hotdog
£2.78 postage
-£7.25 savings on jeans
-£12 savings on nappies and wipes
So in theory I’ve made a profit of £5.42 (not counting the savings I’ll make on interest payments)
Sorry that was even longer than expected(Im)Mature StudentMBNA CC - £3500 (14.9%)Overdraft - £2750 (interest free)First year of student loans - £75600 -
