Being in the situation I am, I try very much to avoid using money. Sorry I mean I try very hard to avoid spending - that's one thing I am shy of doing. For good reasons especially when I read about the debt levels in the media, always rising.
So rightly I try to look at my expenditure and see how I'm doing. Apart from the obvious like rent, loan repayment others can be avoided. How have I spent cash this week?
1. I bought the 3 papers this week - £ 1.20 (3*0.40) (Yippeee! That's all I did)
2. Wednesday - bought 2 cups of cappucinno and a sandwich £3.60 (yes from one of them cheap places - I'm proud of that. The coffee was really good)
3. Later same day bought some groceries £15.17 (quiet unnecessary - we've done shopping here and it's killing us. We have to buy bits and pieces every now and then. I don't like that!)
What is amazing is that I have so far avoided to be enticed by all this bargains on autumn closing sales (There is always a reason to make go to the shopping).
In other words people I'm broke - went to the ATM and got an advise slip warning me I couldn't withdraw any cash. 1st time in awhile it has happened since I came to the UK - depressing.
A good week indeed - Tight fiscal policy!
