An incinerator is exciting.
I would love a lorry load of mulch.

I now know exactly how broke I am. :eek:
Why does that make me want to go buy something as a consolation prize? :eek:

I get that all the time too Bookie, I call it the "what the hell" phase. It happens just at the point when I realise I am down to my last £20 or so and for some reason instead of trying to make it last I will go and spend it on a takeaway or something equally frivilous:o:rolleyes:

When I am skint I pay much more attention to the detail of my budget and I remember to go through quidco and suchlike....

then as soon as I get paid I am like oh what the hell....

I just wish I was on an even keel all the time....

At least you know now Bookie and you can spend hours making spreadsheets and suchlike. I spend hours doing 'whatif' scenarios on spreadsheets....(sad cow that I am...)

What if I won the lottery...!!!!!!! what if I lose my job:eek: what if I divorce OH:rotfl: the list is endless..... and you can bet your bottom dollar that the one thing you haven't planned for is the one thing that happens....

God laughs at a planner....:rolleyes:

I've been trying to do that Sammy - so I funnel money away from my current account at the start of the month and back again as the month progresses - definitely helps me

I also loads my NSDs towards the start of the month!

This month I may even have money left over at the end (last month I had £17 - whoop!)

have to say I feel much better knowing I have the money to pay this bill straight away (well, next week). It means that I still have to find an extra £65 a month to cover the tax coming from my salary for AQA but once the bill is paid, I can find another provider so I won't be paying £90 a month DD instead of £34!

Well I go through phases where I keep on top of my spending diary etc

But recently I have lost the plot

Need to lick my wounds from the Boiler breakdown and the London trip and GET A GRIP!!!!!

I am falling further and further behind with my targets re-overpayments on mortgage and savings.

I have even turned down 4 mystery shops :eek:

Has anyone got a large hobnail boot to kick me up the bum with please:D

Wish I had got your text earlier Maz about the aldi stuff...not going to get a chance to pop to the other one before next week what with running/work/easter so I doubt there will be anymore stock left. Oh and the x small has a size 6 on it so I am presuming that small is 10-12 Medium 14-16 and large 18 maybe??
