Not had a NSD today either, spent £15 in farmfoods, bought the kids some new school pumps, thought I was doing really well as they were only 99p a pair, bargain! until DD reminded me that she doesn't have to wear them next term!!!! so need to take hers back.
Also bought myself a top and dd some trousers in Dotty P's sale (£20, sigh!) hers are a size 6, she's only 9 and they fit her!!!, a bun tin from Boyes t £1.49 so spent a bit today, but I have had 3 NSD's this week so not too bad.
Also got home to find my Dooyoo cheque for £50 has come through the post yipee!!!fab news - see - that covers the spends x[/quote]

hiya kel and millie,
i went out with my g/f last night and we had a reasonable meal at the local carvery £19 spent! Been awful in Liverpool but woke up feeling awful and was really sick this morning which is not like me - think the last time I was sick, I was about 6!!! - im doing the same as you kel, reviewing all my bits.
My g/f needs her bathroom finishing but i couldnt even stand this morning so will do that tomorrow and keep me away from spending!
Millie, if it helps, I had put £1000 away for my daughter and I had to use that, I am gradually putting it back but given that she is only 2 I can easy play catch up! I would recommend it if it took your worry levels down because once your debts are clear, you will be better with money like we all will be!
Enjoy your evening everyone, will post more later
