    Speaking of money, I need a new phone, mine's wrapped up. Now do I risk Ebay or just get a PAYG one from O2? I have a sim only contract so only need a basic phone to keep me going. Any recommendations?

    No I don't NEED a dress really......I'll waer one I already have to wedding and just get new shoes (and a handbag), I have a hat from a wedding I went to last year so that will go with the dress I'm wearing this time.

    I'm not going to buy any more clothes until it starts getting REALLY cold and then I'll need some jumpers and a new winter coat!

    Maz does talk a lot of sense and I have learnt something on here today so my day has not been wasted sitting at my desk on the internet (despite what my manager might think if she was here!)
