    Hi

    New to all this but loved the title so thought I would say hello!

    Most definitely in debt and sadly most definitely single!

    When I wonder where all my money has gone all I need to do is look at the mountain of shoes, clothes, handbags and books and it becomes all so clear.

    When I wonder about why I'm single I just think about the last 3 guys I dated/had brief encounters with. Guy A was sulky, needy and a bit of a stalker. Guy B was a manic depressive. Guy C had really bad underpants!

    My road to ruin is paved with shoes!

    However, they are lovely!

    And when I'm stuck at home watching TV because I'm single and broke, I can put on a fantastic pair of shoes and feel happy!

    Very easily pleased.

    That's exactly what I do:D I always feel better when I can stick my feet out and admire a lovely pair of shoes:j

    Sadly I am on Day 2 of trying to live as frugally as possible for a year so I don't think I will be able to get any more shoes this yearicon9.gif. I have enough to be going on with though.:D

    I had my LBM last weekend. All spending cut to a minimum.

    I have a major challenge on Sunday. Going to the Designer Outlet with friends and NOT going to buy anything! Think I will have to leave the plastic at home. Hobbs and LK Bennett just too tempting for shoe buying!

    Yey shiny new diary! :j I tick all the boxes in your OP Sarahb, barring clothes (cos I look lardy :(), cake (prefer crisps :o) and matched betting ... do you have a cat or is it just the rest of us hijacking your thread?

    Niclj welcome to the madhouse: my second favourite pair of shoes are Hobbs from about ten years ago! Brown Mary Janes with a unusual shaped high heel .... mmm. :cool:
