    After a great NS weekend (and friday!) I spent £1.06 on lunch yesterday and £1.50 on a card because I ran out of time to make one and didn't have anything suitable in my card box stock.

    Then dinner out and rehearsal last night.

    And I need to go and get something to eat now - I'm not feeling 100% atm and getting up and out the door was enough this morning never mind worrying about food! I'll keep it low though.

    Well done PAP!!!

    Now you are going to really learn how to drive. Best thing you'll ever do, although having a car was the base root to all my debt :o

    I wouldnt give my car up for anything though, are you going to do your pass plus?

    Hi sammi, no i wont attempt my pass plus i would like to get a car first then prob just have lessons on the moterway and such. The problem is because i am over 21 with/without my pass plus doesnt make much difference to my insurance. If i was younger on the other hand then i would jump at the chance.

    Congratulations PAP - well done.

    I need to get fabric softener, milk and bread today. Looked on mysupermarket.co.uk so should cost me £3.72. Other than that I'm planning to spend nowt else (although might double up on the milk and bread so that I don't need to go near a shop again this week).

    Spent £6 today posting an ebay parcel, but this was budgeted for. A Low Spend Day today.


    edit:
    I forgot to add that I also spent £1.50 on a small pocket notebook to write down what I spend each day while I am out. I am hoping this will show me where I can cut down and stop me wasting my pennies!
