  • THought I would spend nothing, but the parking is not free today (as I'd thought) so have already spent £4 on parking before having to move the car at lunchtime a few miles just to avoid having to pay the same this afternoon as I've just found out that we don't stop at lunchtime today. So much for Hogmanay being a special time in Scotland...........
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!
  • Hoping for a NSD today too. Going to pop into town and pay Christmas and coinstar money into the bank, might pop into the library too, if it's open. Doing it on my bus pass which is already paid for, and going to stay well away from the shops!!!

  • £15 to put in the car and a £1 for some Cola (got a bottle of JD for Xmas) then off to a mate's in Sheffield
  • Today I spent:

    40p on a roll and some orange squash from Morrisons.

    £1.99 on a 2008 diary. This is necessary for work, and also I chose one with enough space to write down what I've spent each day and what bills are going out when.

    And I will spend £900 :eek: on rent+deposit for flat..getting keys today.

    And then I am working tonight so will need to pay for train fare+coach, but I will make some money hopefully :T .

    Happy New Year guys.

  • Morning guys.

    I'm not playing on spending a bean today. Got lots of housework to do today and then spending a quiet one in by myself this evening.

    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

  • £6.50 on a haircut.. I know I could get a cheaper one, but It's vanity - I'm a slave to it !!

    Gosh - where could you get a cheaper one. The cheapest male haircut around where we live is at least double that!
