    well, aim to spend no money today, although I have just had to make a virtual payment via Paypal for an item I won this morning on auction. It's only £5.75 including postage, so not too bad.

    Going to the gym later today, costs nothing to go there :T then home where I can't spend any money :D

  • I could do to not have to spend any money this week!!!

    I personally have spent nothing yet, but have food shopping to do later.

    Hubby has taken £1.50 for his dinner as we have nothing in for lunch, and the amount he eats it works out cheaper anyway!!!

    I've spent £1.50 on Heat magazine (my guilty Tuesday habit) and 67p on soup for lunch (from our work restaurant). Not too bad. And since I'll be reading Heat at lunch, i won't be i town looking in all the clothes shops and buying stuff I don't need. Good girl?

    Am currently debating with myself what to do with my spare money for the month. Having paid all bills and bought lots of food and had a couple of nights out, I have £300 spare for the month. I don't get paid again until 26th July. Do I keep the money for spending, going out and buying treats? Do i pay it all off my credit card (£4,000 owed) and go without any spending money? Or do I go half and half?

    I need some willpower. Can anybody lend me some?

    Spent about a tenner on posting ebay items, plus buying some jiffy bags.

    But I charged £13 P&P for the two items I sent today, so am in profit just on that aspect. Not to mention the £23 I got for the two items themselves.

    Used up the last of my breakfast cereal for lunch today. I've only got two more days in work, and am going to be reckless and buy my lunches for the next two days! :eek:

    I would pay half the amount off my credit card and save the other half in a easy access savings a/c so you can get at the money in the event of an emergency. If no emergency crops up, next month send that money also to your credit card. That way you are reducing your debt, one day you will be debt free and will have money to save :D:D:D
