I had the day off work ill (fully paid sick leave) therefore saving £7 on petrol.

I took delivery of my Tesco shop, this time using value and own brand goods rather than branded. I also used a Tesco code which saved me £5.
My normal grocery shop comes to around £85, today it was £51.

Read my own electricity meter and stopped Npower raising my monthly payment unnecessarily!!
Dried my washing on the bedroom radiators rather than use the tumble drier!

Read two chapters of Paul McKennas "I can make you rich"

I got a compensation money for a car crash last year, and despite me being desperate for a holiday (haven't had one for 2 years!!!) i've put it all on my credit card to clear it & increased my loan payment by the amount my card payment usually is!

Feeling very proud of myself

Pleasemakemerich

Well done Mcmanlyn

Thats the new attitude I've now got!

I resisted another pair of shoes I saw today..................I must be ill.

Celebrated the loss of 11 pounds in weight by having an indian takeaway tonight and ended up being bloated and not at all well. Not the best £6 I've ever spent.

Hello,

I love this thread - for some weird reason just reading it stops me spending money so, thank you to everyone that posts. Today I

cycled to work and back
took lunch to work
avoided the snack machine

Discovered the Online Spending Diary - and put my paper one into it so I can see my spending in pie charts - so much more motivating!!!
I've done my clicks - it isn't like I can help myself really!
Took leftover (homemade!) homity pie to work for lunch.
Ate out of the freezer, only bought bread.

Speaking as someone who rinses out sandwich bags - this made me smile!
