    LOPO -
    if you hadnt of moaned and put up so many posts...this thread would have been much shorter lol.... as will said dont click on it, you may not find it interesting but there are plenty of others that do and they find it keeps them checking on their own budgets and helps them reign themselves in.

    Around £20 all in all - factoring in journey into work, petrol used, train, freshly made food & convenience snacks all purchased on the go I'm afraid....

    Because time is money sadly....it has to be done the convenience way. No 2 ways about it for me. Simple as. Absolutely no way can it be rationalised any other.

    I know its not ideal...but simply is the only way.

    @JAMIEDODGER

    Hardly fair to call it moaning when it was a suggestion to make it a singular thread now was it since there is the possibility that it would convenience others whether everone like it or not - 365 near identical threads - nice! It was only a suggestion....

    Someone start a poll,heck lets find out - without of course the words " How much did you spend today?" in the title, as mse'ers may well avoid it on that basis alone!!

    And since it is a discussion forum (which I'm not self-policing before anyone decides to finger me on)....I'm here whether you like it or not!

  • I spent £18.35 in Boots

    Boots natural sponge £10.50 - i know a luxery but they do last me a full year.
    2 little travel bottles for shampoo and comditionser @ £1.65 each - expensive again but i couldn't find any cheaper ones to this quality and i want them to last.
    Pantene shampoo and conditioner both for £5. The last £2 was a sandwich and a bottle of water.

    and i paid part of the bill with a £5 gift voucher that I got from doing a survey on line:)
