  • Sorry to hear you are in your OD but at least it is not long til payday Wendz.

    At least you have been able to get a few freebies this week to tide you over as well. Just think without those it would have been worse! :D

    Have you got any exciting plans for the weekend?

    I agree with Maria, your job is just the best! I don't get anything free where i work, ok maybe the odd meal out payed for by work, but nothing like you, you lucky girl.

    YOu will be fine, i find having no money helps you not waste money!

    WE had a lovely lunch yesterday with the sales guy who took us out. It was at this really posh russian restaurant and we had these weird starters you had to have a shot of vodka with. I also had a goats cheese salas, chicken kiev and a cheese board to finish.Also had cocktails and wine, was a little tipsy hehe! The bill was massive, at least we weren't paying!!

    I have taken OH to work this morning. The plan for the rest of the day is to dust and hoover the bedroom and also do some ironing. I went to the shop this morning and got a few bits of food. I have only gone ten pounds ish into my overdraft which I think is good.

    OH's friend might be booking our holiday tomorrow for us all yay so exciting!

    Well I did manage to hoover and dust the bedroom and a good job as we had someone viewing the flat.

    My sister is here this weekend for once as well so we went to Westfield. I used the rest of my Zara voucher and got a dress and a skirt. Had to pay 3 pounds towards it but not bad at all!

    I am about 20quid into my overdraft which isnt bad at all I think after such a bad month.

    We are going to Egypt for two weeks in June. Was booked this morning yay,so excited! We are going with OH and his girlfriend who are both really nice so should be fun! OH is paying as well bless him, just need spending money.

    Will be looking forward to doing some holiday clothes shopping soon. I also am going on a diet starting tomorrow so that I feel a bit better in the bikini. Is a good incentive to do it as well.

    Very nice indeed chick. We went to Egypt in 2007 for a week with our best friends and had a fab time, you will come back soooo brown! Where abouts in Egypt are you staying? Sharm? Awww how lovely of your OH, what a generous sweetie!

    So many shops have all their holiday clothes in already, you will find lots. Primark of all places has some lovely bits too!

    Hope you had a lovely weekend!
