What are all the Ebay payments for?? What are you buying off Ebay? This is a huge part of your spends.

What was the £55+ for in Mac??

How much cash did you take out on top of these spends???

I agree that you might want to have a look at the ebay buys, can you even remember what they all were?? (I never used to be able to remember what I had spent money on when I was pre LBM) Did you need them? If this was typical of your spending then you will probably have quite a bit that you could flog if needed

I used to be a glutton for the slap too, it feels so nice when you get something new. But I haven't had any new stuff for a year now and I am totally cool with it, I don't even miss it - oh and still have more than enough to cope with any fashions that come and go from here to eternity.

make up.
erm prob took out about £200 as well i think

In just over a week you spent £140 :eek: on make up. Think we may have found where your spare cash is going.

Can't remember what your debts are off the top of my head but £140 would be one hefty payment to one of them.

Do you really need all that make-up? As poorandindenial, I've not really bought much make up for ages - just a little mascara and a lippy as and when needed and Boots own even then.

What did you spend the £200 on?

Just been looking through to find your SOA but seems you have deleted it.

I don't know your position and I know this sounds harsh but if you spending £140 on make up after your LBM I don't think you have had one yet.

I see you have a thread saying you are on a payment plan for one of your debts. Surely paying £140 off of that debt would have been more beneficial.

Sorry don't mean to sound like an old bag lol.

Maybe set yourself a budget each month you can spend on make up or treat yourself to one item a month or something.
