Ok not that I'm trying to back myself up now because I know I was frivolous but I RELY on my straighteners and GHDs are by far the best. So even though I'm skintoed I would still have bought them rather than a cheaper alternative.

ahh, but it's only a fashion thing - everyone survived before ironing your hair was the in thing

Similarly, I bought a new ipod because I do a lot of travelling, two hours on the tube every day not to mention up and down to Leicester, and again, I don't want to buy a cheaper alternative.

why? they all have a 12 month guarantee and ipod is just a brand name which adds on the money

The phone... is probably the top thing I really didnt need, it was a pretty pink one that I fell in love with, and bought on impulse. Yes, my old phone was nackered but I could have got a free upgrade - I chose not to.

but you'll not do it again

Holiday ....it is the one thing in life I will always splash out on.

What was the other thing? Oh yes hotel in Leicester, anniehanlon, I couldn't stay at parents as I haven't lived with them for 6 years - my room is now a junkroom which is full. I used to live with ex so not got that option either... and I feel cheeky asking to stay at various friends more than once. Although when I mentioned that I had paid for a hotel this time round they all went ballistic and insisted I "do the rounds" again!!

I'm sure your parents would have cleared some stuff for you or at least the sofa

Faaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr too much justification going on here

Butt. Kicked.

Redeem your sins with a mass ebay listing day this Sunday to re-coup what you can financially and then pray to the great god Quidco by doing daily click thru's for the next 3 months.

Hey, understand where your coming from. Lol. Have you learnt your lesson??

Just a note on the GHD's for years i swore by them and wouldn't dare cheat on them with another brand but when mine broke i had to get some and had £50 to my name, so it was either buy with that budget or wait 3 weeks for payday. The route i took was i'll buy these now and then payday buy the GHDs too!! lol madness i know. But i never did go back and buy those GHDs as these are fab, better in fact. And 3 of my "GHD" friends have borrowed them and said next time they'll get them. They are Vogetti straightners.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..................3 Hail Mary's & no bingo for a month!

Stop trying to justify your way out, it was mainly frivolous & you know it.

True. Thank you tallyhoh. But I might skip the hail mary's as I think it would be classed as blasphemous.

I can only sympathise, last week I went on an unexpected night out in London and spent £100! Not only that I had a shocking hangover for 2 days (boo). I'd been so good for ages as well - ah well baked beans for the rest of the month!

I always try to think of a hangover as nature's punishment for wasting the cash on booze!!

Can someone sort me a link for the "how to" on Quidco? thanks!

And I am planning on ebaying my socks off - I will be moving soon and need to thin out my wardrobe - so Sunday it is!

As an older person i would like to know, just for pure curiosity how can yu spend £100 on a night out?

INT1

You only live once, if you have been good the last few months...
Time is now to consolidate it all though as if you ised a credit card with a balance with low APR, you will be paying off the interest on your last little spending spree last... :eek:

Ok well going on London which is where VLS was (and where i normally go)

£20 on getting into a club
approx £8.00 for a gin and tonic
chips after the night out £5.00
night bus is £2.00 unless you have your oyster.

Then I have to get a taxi from Putney to my house as no night bus goes my way so thats another £6 - 8!

Hope that answers your question!!

Remind me to never live in London! Lol But it is suprising how a night out adds up. :eek:
