    Seems like the date is off. She cancelled just now.

    Nevermind. Spent quite a lot today. On electric (£50) and phone credit (£30) and such. Allowed myself £14.99 for an Iron Man compilation graphic novel tho and had a haircut (£15)

    Wow! Thanks for the support! Yeah, I know what you mean! Luckily, I have some good friends who are happy to just sit there and drink in the house :D

    Ha ha yeah me too. Thank god that they're all off massive nights out in the West End at the mo. Luckily they've all got bills or stuff to save for. Eventually though I'm gonna have to come up with some creative solutions (ie cheap) for nights out :eek:

    hehehe! It didn't really help as....

    Had a massive spend in London yesterday :(

    Went to Oxford St and bought some new Nike Running Trainers and the Nike+ system (£69) then into Borders for some books and the latest issue of Wire (£20). Then off to the Emirates where I bought the Arsenal home shirt (£58). Then went for drinks and dinner (£40) :(

    Ha ha...hmmm...not sure that's entirely helpful to your situation!:confused: repeat after me...Arsenal are so rubbish I will not buy their overpriced shirt. Have you sorted out a new flatmate or managed to convince the other one to stay? That's £300 a month right? Comes in handy. Often wish I had a two bed as it'd come in handy but only £340 a month for rent so I can't complain. I managed an all expenses paid night out round Leic Sq but reckon that's a one off.

    Yes, I managed to convince the flatmate to stay. Which is a massive weight off my mind.

    I had an NSD yesterday as I did the Nike 10k. Today was not as I got in food to make me feel better :p (£17.89)
