Stingy month begins!

So here are the rules for mine and Graeme's competition to spend as little money as possible in November:

1) Only money spent during the month counts, ie. electricity or water bills that have been prepaid don't count.
2) Rent doesn't count.
3) Heavily relying on the generousity/lending of friends will be seen as 'not in the spirit of the rules'.
4) Our own accounts of our spending will be official.
5) We are allowed to ask for details of each other's spending.
6) We each should publish a weekly total.
7) Cheques count on the day they are written.
8) Income cannot be deducted from expenditure, but can be taken note of for side interest.
9) The prize has something to do with German Christmas markets.

As I will update this every Monday, I'll give my lowdown for yesterday here:
