What was your first pay cheque? First full time pay cheque was approx £400 What did you spend it on? Blew it on new clothes and a meal out with friends Dining out or entertaining at home? Dining out - someone else gets to do the clearing up! Most expensive thing ever bought? Other than my house and car - which I don't really own yet - my husband'swatch for his engagement present. Best bargain ever had? God that's a toughie - a free climbing frame for the kids off freecycle.org. One luxury you're going without during the credit crunch? Nothing really - business is going really well. But haven't used my ironingservice as much this year. Best money saving tip? Don't go shopping when bored, stressed or angry - always spend far too muchjust to feel better. One thing you shouldn't buy but always do? Shoes! Your favourite currency and why? The pound of course - proud to be British, however I love Paris so the Eurois a close second. Best way of spending money on a rainy day is A coffee with friends at Costa.
