    Absolutely nothing so far, and don't plan to spend anything today. Using some flour I have in stock to make bread in the bread-maker, some mince in the freezer to make dinner and veggies in the fridge to go with dinner. Going to be a cheap day I think, well...I hope! :D

    Oh I am a postive spendthrift! I spent £9.68. I bought ciggies (yes, I know, a waste of money but I wanted them :-( a tin of deodorant and my lunch (big shop today so there was nothing to take to work).

    Tomorrow I plan on making do with £1. I have also started a spending diary so I can see where I am wasting my money.

    Today I spent:

    £9 Concealer (I left it for long enough without one, but looked like poo!!)

    £18.80 Superdrug (Moisturiser, toothbrush, toothpaste blah blah blah).

    Its so annoying that these things all run out at the same time. I got a few BOGOF offers, but even so, £27 spent like that!!! :0(

    Bought lunch in though and have no plans for tonight, but even so, its a hell of a lot of money, dont you think??? (come on girls, help me out here!!!).

    I had a wee look in Next & saw some gorgeous clothes, bikini's, underwear - I might save a bit more cash before my holiday and treat myself on a few bits. I think i deserve it.!!

    Anyway, im rambling!!! :0)

    I hope everyone is ok. Love reading your posts.

  • I agree ms_london the expensive make up purchases always come round at once! If you've got a Bodycare near you they tend to sell brand names a lot cheaper (eg. Clarins cleanser only £9.99 rather than £14). However bad things are though I refuse to live without my concealer so I am totally behind you on that one...

    As for shampoo though I have a cupboard overflowing with small bottles from hotels - I am on a mission to try not to buy any more shampoo until I am 100% debt free!!

    Cheapskate? Me? Probably!

    Good to see this thread back by the way. So far spent 30p on a stamp.

    Phew. I thought I was going to get nagged at then :0)

    My sister is a hairdresser & at Christmas she bought me a litre of Schwarzkopf Shampoo and a litre of Conditioner, and its still going strong - otherwise I would so be doing what you do :0)

    Oooh, never heard of bodycare!! Shall keep an eye out for that one. I had been putting off buying moisturiser for a month, and had been using Revitalift samples that id been sent (from freebie board) which were fab, but then run out of those, and missed my Garnier Moisturiser. Once upon a time, I wouldve spent £50 in Boots and not even think about it, it kills me to spend this money (even though i need the items), and im pretty low maintenance as it is. (ok, perhaps not that low maintenance!!) ;0)
