    Does anyone know how often you need to top up a PAYG mobile to keep the number active? I'm planning on getting one solely for incoming calls for the business (might never ring lmao...!!) As i dont want to put my landline number on the site coz OH will answer the phone in his normal grumpy manner and I dont really want to advertise my normal mobile number. At least then I can put a proper answerphone message on it in case people ring whilst i'm at work. Will just be getting a mega cheap one from ebay prob but need it to be on O2 as that the only network i can get a signal on where i live!

    It is a big deal and you should be so proud of yourself-you've done so well!!!!!

    ^Thanks MM - I am actually, can't believe I've got this far and not given up going :)

    You should do the course you want to do Jen... it's amazing how quickly the months fly by and it will be October in no time. I can't believe it was six months ago when I first posted on this thread about going to my college open day! So glad I did it now though. Otherwise I'd probably still be hiding away (more than I do already haha) and be wishing I'd started sooner.

    Evening all,

    Anyone esle watching 10 years younger?

    Ive decided im going to give myself a make over and buy a new wardrobe of clothes once ive filled the ISA up. I hardly ever buy any new clothes, shoes, make up etc and havent had a proper haircut for over a year now. And if i do buy clothes its tesco or asda clothes! lol. Im only 25 and really need to glam myself up a little and treat myself! I see all my gorgeous friends on facebook and get a little jealous......but there probably all in deep debt for there nice clothes!

    Sorry totally off topic. lol :)

  • Hello all,

    I've found myself on this Thursday evening feeling depressed about the speed at which my savings are growing (or not growing). To be fair, I am being harsh on myself, as I don't do too badly... but I wish my millions were amassing more quickly1 Judging by this thread's title, this seemed like the ideal place to hear some advice!

    My problem is that I *could* live more frugally than I do... but I just find myself buying stuff for the sake of it. I am ashamed at my spending on clothes, travel, make-up, jewellery, shoes, bags... How do you not treat yourself?! I had it down to a fine art at one point, but the last few months I've struggled to keep my budget, generally.

    I'm tempted to post what I actually spend and on what... but I'm not sure. You'd probably all pull me to pieces... which is also probably what I need.

    Please can you all give me a good telling off for spending too much, too often, and threaten me with debts that will last forever to scare me out of it :(
