    Thanks for those Sarah, for some reason the apron wouldn't show up? I'll try again tomorrow. Thanks for thinking of DD though :A I'm all up for extra cheap presents this year, I managed to get her a game for the xbox for less than £4 today, it was worth about £30 I think so I'm really pleased with that. Don't know anywhere I can get her a guitar for less than a tenner do you ? :rotfl:

    I think I might get those bookmarks for myself :D £1 !!!!! Bargain! I normally just use a receipt or a piece of paper.

    ShoeGal have you decided yet? :p

    Whoops, have been a bit naughty :o Went to have a nail repaired (£2) and managed to come back with a cardigan (£20 in the sale and paid for with vouchers), a ring (£5 in the sale), a scarf (£12) and a pair of shoes (£30) :eek: I only got paid this morning - l have no willpower :D

    Not been good on the dieting front either - have just eaten a lemon muffin :o

    Have had a really expensive month, was only left with £30 to overpay on my Barclaycard, was aiming for £100. Anyway, every little helps - and l have not increased my overall debt :rolleyes:

    Am going to London tomorrow for the Rugby Challenge Cup Final at Wembley so am letting myself off the hook on the debt busting and dieting, then will get my act together from Sunday before I go back to work :eek:

    I am going to go to Spain, just need to check on Tuesday that I can get the time off work - then l can look for some cheapie flights and stuff :j

    ah, we all fall off the wagon sometimes. I had to buy Guitar Hero Greatest Hits a few weeks ago because of one song it had on it! Yes I could afford it, but sent me £20 over my ents budget! That said I've had a lot of fun playing it, and when I do get bored can flog it ;-). Yes, my naughtiness is not clothes or make up, it's geeky games, music and DVDs, I've got it all wrong! One thing I haven't said on my diary is the other reason I want to get out of debt as quick as possible - I want to be able to afford to go back to the US, so I have to try and keep this in mind when I'm about to spend on a want.

    I'll need to read back a few pages to see the details, but saw the mention of online dating?! I'm on ok cupid, but I'm seriously thinking of deleting my profile, apparently this area is slim pickings! I do like window shopping on Guardian Soulmates though - won't pay for a sub, I'm too tight! If I see my dream man on there then maybe, but not until!

    And you've just reminded me - I never did do my nails last week!!:rotfl:
