    hello lula!

    i have a confession to make - i was meeting MSE peeps in Manchester this weekend so had to buy a new pair jeans and a top...

    Top - £10
    Jeans - £8 less £3 clubcard vouchers..
    Total spent £15

    New balance left for the year - £76...

    But i think £5 for skinny jeans is a bargain!


    Thanks missus!

    Hi everyone, I'm sorry to say that this is only my third post on here :( but i'm glad to say that its because i'm reporting in on another spend free month :j:j:j
    It does seem to be getting a little bit more difficult as there are only so many times I can avoid the shops. Its also sad to see that some local shops are closing down due to the nasty recession :eek: I did mention last time I was on here that I have some stuff to sell on Ebay so I need to pull my finger out and get them sorted as I'm sure this good non-spending behaviour can't last forever.

    Well done to everyone and bring it on March!!:rotfl:
    :jYou've got to be in it to win it!! Just believe to receive!! :j

    Yay :D go sell weenapops & earn some more spending money ;) .

    I cant believe it's march already & I have nothing new at all :confused: I dont think I feel very well :rolleyes: .


    tesco points addict, you just signed up to a crazy challenge to spend £100 or less for the next 9 months - that's another 43 weeks :eek: - I think you've just 'self certified ' :rotfl:

    For those still with £100 that's £ 11.11 per month or £ 2.33 per week :rolleyes: for those that have already delved into the clothes allowance cookie jar .... you can work it out yourselves, I am too weak from lack of hobnobs :D

    The two may be related :confused:

    Very serious condition - lack of hob nobs - the NHS is nearly on its knees with it.

    I think you will find I have -£33.33 per month or -£6.99 a week; I'd sell my body but that wouldn't even get me a hob nob.
    £34,547 (Dec 07); Current debt: £zilch (Debt free December 2010)
    Sealed Pot #389 (2010=£133)

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: to minus allowances - we still expect you to declare any further purchases, just for a giggle :D

    Never underestimate the power of hobnobs :cool:

    off to walk the streets again :(
