Tell you what Jen its amazing how easy it is to spend when you start, ive scared myself this past couple of days! Still it's all got to stop now, i think people are giving me money for xmas so i'm going to buy myself a satnav so i can visit my uncle, ive never been brave enough to try it before on my own coz i have no sense of direction! And then thats it no more spending for a good while.
My MINI has a name now its called Foxy coz its number plate is OY02FXX (yes i do name my cars lol)

jenjade

thats what was worrying me i bought the shed for £195 and i just wanted to spend spend spend but i forced my self to stop. i am going to write a list of what i want then when i have the items on the list no more than 6 items i will stop spending again!

Evening everyone, the snow went pretty quickly here too. The weather has been strange today, when I was driving to the hospital I was being blinded by the sun....and it took over an hour for me to drive 10 miles, I wasn't happy. I thought a hospital would be signposted quite clearly, but apparently not, I did actually scream when I thought I'd got on a road to Eastbourne. It's funny now, but I was in a foul mood at the time. I felt pretty bad leaving my friend alone as he doesn't like hospitals any more than me .

That's great about the sign up money CL, and your win Yukki. I'm glad you've been enjoying your new toy MM, do it whilst the petrol is cheap(er) . I want my own sat nav too, especially after my dads not working earlier & the resulting hell lol.

If anyone who drives is interested, I do a thing called autoinsight which I was invited to through a toluna survey. They pay out in amazon vouchers on the 15th of every other month. The surveys are short so the payment is quite good for the time you put in. I thought being invited was the only way to join them, but I've just found a referral link. You need my name and email address to join so if anyone would like to sign up pm me and I'll send you the details

I know what you mean about spending blips! Once every few months I go crazy and spend loads (well maybe £200, which feels like loads).... I usually end up returning most of it though :S I don't know why I do it as I have always been a good saver, hmmm!

I think I'm going to take the plunge and list my wii console on ebay. The average selling price has gone up about £10 since last time I checked so I think this is the best time to do it :S
