Well the mulberry bag that I wanted now was purchased on Saturday and OMG I love it soooo much. I've been 'playing' with it al weekend (basically stroking it, fiddling with the press studs etc) and taking it everywhere with me. Today I took it out when all it had in it was one cashcard:) Nearly died when paying for it, but the satisfaction of swinging the gorgeous bag around was wonderful. Besides - I'm mum of two with one on the way and like to think of myself as the best wife/mum/friend I can be - I'm worth it!!MANAGED TO CLEAR A 3K OVERDRAFT IN ONE FRUGAL, SUPER CHARGED MONEY EARNING MONTH!:j

Good luck with the ebay items Jen.
I cant wait for my wages to get paid in 2moz to shift some more money over to my ISA. If i hadnt of spent £200 on a wii bundle then i would of made the £1000 by august. As i have worked out i should have £300 to pay into my ISA 2moz. Oh well, the the Wii was a treat to myself after getting out of debt.
