Bummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm rre tickets - think of another fabulous treat........

I am now in danger zone.

missing something like this would previously have made me go out and buy something for twice the money to make myself feel better. I am not going to do that today.

instead I am going to go onto the Argos website and order new blinds. (They are cheaper that the tickets) I currently have curtains stapled to the wall above my windows...

EDIT your post beat mine! Resist the urge to spend a lot...but still think you need to treat yourself...NOT your windows lol!!!

with the rest of the money, buy yourself something nice even if its a huge bar of choc, or a bunch of flowers, congratulate yourself for thinking about the money and being sensible.

Or get some nice socks!!!!!! Well done.xx

on Tuesday night I was told I was tight-fisted with my money, by my OH (who likes to haemorrage it...).

I think finding a balance again is needed.

also, buying something nice for me flat (which makes me less embarrased when people come to visit) is something for me really. and my window will thank me. it's a win/win!

How annoying the tickets selling out:mad: You could try and sidestep the danger zone, you'll feel really smug about it later Just don't beat yourself up about it and spend more than you would have! You have to confess here, you know, just like the rest of us...

Still breathing like a goldfish, gosh I miss my nostrils....Still feel grotty, actually, have only been up half an hour finally fell asleep at 5, you know the routine!

Won't be able to ride like this, I'd like to think horse will miss me, but he does share a field with 4 mares, who vie for his attention, guess not then :rotfl:

Today I will

• make a loaf
• sort out spreadsheet - today's payday:j
• pay off a lump sum from tesco cc to cover car repairs
• twinkle rather than sparkle
• pay horse dentist bill £15, thinking of having him look after my teeth! much cheaper than a human dentist, don't fancy the gag much though...

...meant to add that I got my new specs refunded by work and got a cheque from the library to cover the cost of the book that was lost then found :j these are going against the car repairs...

kt - go with Fay's suggestion, get some socks.... better still, sparkly ones....

• Collected shoeboxes offered on freecycle for xmas boxes
• Have one full box for neice -only three more to do!
• Online banking

And I will

Go for it then kt, tart up the window! What sort of blinds are you thinking of getting? sparkly ones??:rotfl:

I've done it!! Paid off the sadlle and car fixing amounts that I stuck on my other credit card. Hopefully it will go through before the cut-off statement date meaning my debt goes down not up - fingers crossed...

Of course, this means I am broke for the rest of the month, better get ebaying again, blast my camera battery is flat will have to lean forward and get a headache...

I'm with you on sold out tickets KTJazz, I SO wanted tickets to see Mr Tenant in Hamlet, and the web-site collapsed as soon as it opened. They're now for sale at up to £950 EACH :eek: :eek: :eek: :shocked:

But it's Friday _party_ , and it's payday _party_ and the children are all home this weekend :j _party_ :dance:

So today I have/will:

• brought in lunch. It's more of the mystery soup (which doesn't taste very nice ), with the last of my HM cheese & chilli loaf (a bit stale, a hint of fur developing, but hey it's not costing me money) and I've bought chunky KitKats from Lidl at 20p each, instead of 50p from the vending machine. (It's no economy pretending I can manage without a daily dose of chocolate )
• Mystery shop tonight with a good supper and time with a mate
• did some surveys - and didn't get screened out

not a lot
