it is hard all this resisting lark..i just saw a promo for a new show with twiggy, about clothes swapping..perhaps you could get a group together and do that..someone must have an old prada they don't want!Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?
Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:0 -
Go for the coat, I would love to say go for the handbag..........but brain is trying to rule the heart, .....
Even thou ur debt repaying if its all pay out and no items that u need, ur end up regretting it and making inpulse purposes.
£45 for a winters coat is an excellent price.
Hope ur ok and haveing a gd weekend, and making time for urself. xxxx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx0 -
I found a cheaper bag on Next, 18 quid have 15 quid voucher so will order it tomorrow. I think it will work or failing that Mum has just said she thinks she has a bag(s) I could use!
just doing some rambling now,
the treatment I need for my teeth is going to cost 2075 pounds. I borrowed three grand - driving lessons and teeth, plus I had a BT for about a 1000.so that was CC.
I have 1500 sitting in a savings account left to pay for the dentist, I can make up the extra five hundred ( used mostly to pay off vet bills, and to my mse shame 200 pounds over draft that I can't explain.) next month from tutoring and cutting out spending (nov is a quite month ).
opening A and L account is worrying me a bit.
hmmm. more beer and then bed me thinks. brain hurting.

hi buffy
i hope that you have done ok in your OU exam now. also that you are avoning like mad and keeping to doing 4 things a day. Glad ofsted went ok.
Remind me why you need to be debt free by 2009?
Could you destress by going for a run or something? Anything to get you out of the house?
Also there are lovely coats on ebay or in charity shops that don't cost £45.....
chevI want a job that is less than an hour driving away from my house! Are you listening universe?
