    Confession:

    I've overspent on my cash spends :o

    Reason:

    Spending more than my vouchers were worth and being annoyed I did get some nice tops, a dress and some trousers thou :rolleyes:

    Thanks SMF2, and I'm sure you never would TPA :p

    The weekend was full of ups and downs with my new dress getting a good reception :D and long days making us tetchy :o

    Saturday was a cheap day with us going to a party, eating, drinking and being merry and then leaving with almost as much alchol as we came with! It was good fun and my dish seemed to go down well with everyone which I was chuffed about. We lost in the quiz and got very dizzy with the barn dancing - we wern't too sure about this when going but it ended up being a great laugh :D

    Mother's day was hetic - cue cleaning, washing, cooking, more washing etc - but having the family round went as well as expected (brothers!#!)

    Bit of rest coming back to work actually....

    The party sounds great! Very jealous! I love all that type of dancing - just as long as everyone else is a complete novice at it too. :rolleyes:

    None of us had a clue Shazzany! It was great fun and we all ended up dizzy :D

    I finally used up my animal voucher and bought myself a travel umbrella as my last one died a windy death. I got lucky as well with the sales assistant not knowing how to 'do' vouchers and instead gave me the cash I had left! Yay!

    I'm out tonight! While it may be bad for the diet its an all you can eat buffet and I shall be twice the size tomorrow. :D nomnomnom

    My aim is not to buy any drinks while there and just keep to water so that I don't spend any more than I should.

    See you tomorrow!

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: I only know of three people who can out eat me.:rotfl: :rotfl:
    I accept your challenge TPA! :D

    The food was very nice and I managed to try almost everything available. I got my friend a little giggly with wine before we went :p Mr R & Mr A who sat next to me both commented how they like to see a girl who enjoys their food. :rolleyes: I told them since I've paid for it of course I'm going to eat it!

    I wonder what the scales will say tomorrow? :eek: Please stay the same, please stay the same, please stay the same ...

    On another note my spending diary failed miserably :confused: My own fault completely as I kept forgetting to take it with me and fill it in. I remember reading about someone who removed all their cards from their purse and only carried around one card and their cash allowance, I think I will give this a go to see if it keeps me on the straight and narrow.

    Bad news of the day :mad: Water bill has gone up £7 according to their estimate

    Good news of the day :D Boss bought us all brunch
