How Much Have You Spent Today??
Comments
-
Bought a cup of tea and an egg custard (which was a huge portion :j ) in little bistro cafe £1.85
Bought a beautiful blue bracelet (little crystal type things and blue hearts etc.) in a gift shop I passed and just had to browse in
£4.99
£1 parking ticket (will be refunded as I was on a Mystery Shopping job
)
Then on the way home called into Makro and bought groceries, Milk, Butter, 4 packs (duel packs) of french batons (great for sandwiches in this weather!) 2 trays of Whiskas (24 cans) 1 tray of HP Baked Beans, catering pack of Kitchen Towel, squeezy honey, etc. etc...spent £30 in Makro :T
That's about it! Oh yeah, forgot to say (ashamed to say :A ) bought a bottle of Luxury Bath Oil in the shop I bought the bracelet in. That cost a whopping £8.99 but I liked the blue bottle, can re-use it when it is empty and I just had to have it
I know....I know....I'm saying nowt!
So, not been very good today, spent £14 on treats in a gift shop I wouldn't have gone in had I not been in a strange town on a Mystery Shopping job. But, I am shortly going to go have a bath and try the new bath oil and hopefully, it will be blissful and worth every penny.
I have 2 more Mystery Shopping Jobs tomorrow in the city and I am NOT going to spend any money apart from the item I have to buy that they will refund my money for. Phew!~What you send out comes back to thee thricefold!~~0 -
I had a late lunch today, went at 2.00 pm but by 1.00 pm was getting too hungry so bought a packet of crisps from the machine - 50p. Went home for lunch though I have to drive back as it's an hours walk.
Have just spent £3.00 on a special offer for Eve magazine found on this site - love magazines but the price of them is crazy so this site has really helped.
Everything else I consumed today was already in my cupboard, fridge or petrol tank - total cash parted with today was £3.50.0 -

I spent over £130 today.
Have 2 interviews next week and I needed a dark coloured suit and ended up in M&S. (Did try ASDA's but they had no suits at all)
The jacket was £65, the skirt £25, 2 blouses @ £19.50 each and 2 bras @ £24 for the pair. (one of the blouses will be going back though)
This is offset by the fact that I'm due a £40 cheque and if I get either job, my salary will go up by 50%.
So please keep all fingers crossed!2014 Target;
To overpay CC by £1,000.
Overpayment to date : £310

£15.88 saved to date0 -

Your new suit sounds lovely, I am sure you will look the part
Fingers crossed for you, hope you get your new job, feeling smart and good in your new clothes will go a long way to help xx~What you send out comes back to thee thricefold!~~0 -
......my mum said, when I tried it on for her, it was the smartest she'd seen me for a long time.
Now should I take that as a compliment ?????2014 Target;
