Good luck xx

You are kidding, right?

£5,000.00 every year?

I think many would call that a sickness.

James,

You are an absolute disgrace! An idiot and a thoughtless cretin! How could you do such a thing! Have fun? How very dare you?!

Is that enough? I got plenty more if you need it mate, and I'm finding it mildly therapeutic too.

If your a fool i am another one. Ive just come back from shopping spending £165 on stuff i dont really need. I am ashamed to say, ive spent £30 on 3 eyeshadows when i dont wear it often. I have also bought two YSL concealers when i only went in for 1.

What helps is if i aint in the situation to blow it, so i rarely go shopping. So whereas i was £160 up on me savings account, ive had to use the money to pay me credit card off. (Thank god i put it on me cashback credit card or i would be even sicker than i feel now).

Oh well, tomorrow's another day.:mad:

edited to say. Dont talk abouts Boots to me.:o

Gonna_Do_It

Don't beat yourself up about it, were allowed to have fun every now and then...

I have the same problem though when I go out, for some reason after 2 glasses of wine I seem to think I am the richest girl in town and can afford to buy everyone drinks and I presume that I am just everyones vending machine and splash out fags here there and everywhere!!

Also, I wish I was a lightweight, it takes me so many more drinks to get merry than most people!

Oh and one more thing, I want to just be able to take out a certain amount of money, but as a young single gal, I like to have my card on me just in case, what if I lose my mates and need more taxi money to get home or something? Or am I just being paranoid or making excuses for taking more cash with me??

I hide emergency money in my shoe or somewhere other than my purse, so I know it's there, but not easily hand-overable to the lovely bar people!

Hey,

As someone who loves to go out at the weekends I now spend money on hardly anything else non-essential to justify it.
At the end of the day it was a stag do, not an every week occurence and it sounds like you had a good night, so try not to look back on it negatively - its too late now and you can't un-spend it.
Instead look at it as a positive - you've learnt that you're not happy wasting money, so you've shifted your outlook on money and why not start a £2 coin jar or something similar that can be used to bump up funds on a big night out or special occasion?
I've only got £8 in mine, but it will come in handy at some point!
