I've spent nothing today. I made flapjacks (£1.40 for ingredients, just the amount I used of oats, honey and butter I already had), put them in the oven when it was already on for something else.

DS loved to go to the woods when he was younger, so just the cost of a few miles petrol.

I spent nothing today I did gather in about 30kg of wood a big dry branch split off and has been hanging precariously from a tree for two years. Brought it in and sawed into rounds will split it next Autumn. Also got two big bags of twigs as kindling.

Walked 4.5 miles to town. Spent 2 hours at the spa (steam rooms, saunas, heated loungers, warm showers). Walked home. Cost £2... (monthly membership, go enough times to get the cost per visit low).
Did get a coffee 99p on the walk back.
