Do you have any friends that always have chocolate in the house that you could 'pop round' to see and then over coffee say something like 'you know I could kill for chocolate, I might have to get some on the way home' and then wait to see if they offer you some. Or at least some chocolate hobnobs£34,547 (Dec 07); Current debt: £zilch (Debt free December 2010)

Heat day yesterday - and again I resisted!
I think OH buying me one last week has made me realise that it's habit more than necessity. (though I did enjoy it, and will read it again to make up for not having a new one!
)
I buy my magazines via Qudico. The Magazine Group give you around £5 cashback and they usually have 6 month deals. I subscribed to one of the magazines for 20p for 6 months with the cash back. You just have to remember to cancel.I want to be credit card and loan free by Christmas 20100 -
So proud of myself.....browsing a very chea bookshop yesterday I was sooooooo tempted to buy at least half a dozen books but I put them back!
:A

I think the problem is, I ALWAYS want chocolate! :rotfl:
(but I've learnt to deal with it... nearly)
It's ok though, because OH is away, I've booked myself an extra shift at the pub. I'm just finishing a few bits on the computer, then I'm doing my shopping (chocolate free, of course! ) and then off to work for the afternoon.

To be honest, I just don't want to buy magazines. I'm getting to old to have a Heat Gossip fixation! I'm happy picking up freebies from the supermarkets, and reading other people's.Natwest CC - [STRIKE]£2545[/STRIKE] now £0 :j
