I will spend £3.70 on a waistcoat that i've wanted for ages and scoured ebay for.
I will spend nothing on lunch as i made sandwiches out of homemade bread.
I need to buy milk later to buy pancakes.
I should beable to spend nothing till saturday and i already have a small pile of stuff to ebay and will try to add to that later when i tidy my room.
Saturday i have to get the bus to my Grandparents to help my Dad cut wood for them then Saturday night i have to pay to get the bus to the rock and roll club but OH is paying for me to get in.
I wonder how well I get on in my first week of being a DFW!!0 -

Today I called the AA regarding my membership which is due to renew next week. They confirmed it was due to be £73 for joint membership.
So i explained I was going to cancel my membership, get it again at the online price of £58.40, and then use Rpoints to get £10 cashback, thus making it £48ish.
Straight away they offered to reduce it to £58. So I agreed, on the basis that cancelling and re-signing is a hassle and I'll be without cover for a couple of days, plus the cashback might not track.
So i saved £15 instantly! I think the trick is to suggest you'll leave and re-sign, and they'll give you the new customer price straight away!"I have enough money to last me the rest of my life, unless I buy something."0 -
