PaP/Moozie's What will you spend/have you spent today Wednesday 16th April thread

Good Afternoon everybody :hello: :hello: :hello:

I have searched for 'today's thread' but couldn't find it, so as it's lunchtime, when we're all tempted to spend, I thought I'd better start it - if only to remind me to 'Keep it Low'.

Anyway, you all know the score - the thread is open to everybody old or new - it's a fun and easy way of keeping in control of your non-budget spending.

So post your spends, large or small, but whatever you spend:
'Keep it Low'
I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

    Good thinking! I couldn't find this thread, and being too lazy to start it myself, went over to amazon to have a little shufty! Thanks for starting the thread; think I've just saved myself about £15. No other planned spends for today, as I've brought the entire contents of fridge to work for my lunch!
    Overpay!

    Hope you, and the 'kids' had a great afternoon, whatever you decided to do in the end. Personally speaking, I think it has been a bit cold for the park. :rolleyes:
