Lucy you make me feel better when I feel the need to spend now. My trouble (or not) is that I feel guilty when I have spent something and need to make more lol

Thanks for the support! Lol, it feels better to have them off my chest! My friends all think I'm this virtuous saver who doesn't spend anything I shouldn't... but I'm not like that!

Phew, my name is Lucy, and I'm a shopaholic

...Speaking of guilty extravagances, I'm just back from the corner shop! Only bought a can of cider for 95p and a fruit tobelerone for 38p. I still feel guilty :S

Welcome Lucy. I know how you feel about shopping... I was bad with makeup a few years ago but now I save up my Boots vouchers. Today I bought a foundation for £11.70 but only paid £3.50 cash as the rest was from vouchers. Also bought a pair of jeans for £6.30, out of my Arcadia vouchers. Guilt-free shopping is the best!

I did splurge a bit in New Look the other day, but took a coat back today as I know it would end up lying in my wardrobe.

PS: Lucy if you're doing gambling signups for cashback, I wouldn't say that was gambling

Thanks for the heads up about Betfair yukki... didn't get the offer here though

cl i get round the guilt of small spends by reviewing it on dooyoo making me at least 50p back

That's a really good way to think of it actually! Wish I was motivated enough to write though :S

I haven't been doing any comping recently either. All I've won this month is a £2 Boots voucher. Hmmm not good.

LucyTheDwarf
