Handbags & Gladrags – Confessions of a Recovering Spendaholic

Hey rupe,

I'm good, how's you? Been avoiding the Blondie thread in trying to get house in order and generally sorting out my life/finances and now everyone has moved on (and haven't even noticed I'm gone) - boo! When you starting a diary??

Hi Swinstie

Looks like you have been busy - I have been really lazy. I'm currently using the hot weather as an excuse.

Well done the debt repayment. It's all going in the right direction AND you are getting away. That's wonderful.

Wow that is some list of toiletries. I thought I was bad but I think you probably beat me about 4 times over.

Fed up hearing about everyone's nice weather - still haven't had any. Not fair!

Morning peeps,

Been feeling terribly hayfeverish the last few days so not felt like posting, just been lurking and reading diaries! Got a prescription for an inhaler to pick up today, feels like I can't breathe, probably the heat has alot to do with it.

Still not finished the kitchen, only the lightshade and the floor to clean, why can't I just do them and that's it done! The rest of the house looks like a bombsite, but have my plan of doing one room completely at a time so the rest will just need to wait. It's the bathroom next as I always feel better when I have a clean kitchen and bathroom! OH would prefer the bedroom to be tidier, but then again he's also always mentioning sussies to me - he can't always get what he wants, ha!

Can't remember if I already mentioned it but I got paid for 10 hours at my 2nd job - £45ish (rubbish) BUT I didn't work! So I now have to work 10 hours between now and the holidays or give the money back, I have decided to work which means hopefully I will be asked again - was worried wouldn't be asked as phoned in sick last week.

Also got £33 back from my Sky Protect Plan which I cancelled so money is looking not too bad just now. Have got £800 in dollars for my holiday but wondering if I should get more, had budgetted £1200 when I booked it but means I need to find £400 in the next 5 weeks! Decisions, decisions!

Hi all,

Sorry not been around the last few days - my head has been in the clouds!

Had a great weekend, then it all went downhill come Monday - I hate work right now!

On the plus side, bought myself a lovely pink holdall for my holibags, only £12 reduced from £18, and also 6 vest tops for £2 - yes you read correctly, £2! I used £5 of Tesco vouchers and doubled them up to £10 (and put 2 quid to it), so well chuffed with that.

Nothing much else to report except on the countdown to my hols, where I WILL NOT be logging on here to check up, cos my mind is being taken over by MSE! Made two minor mistakes at work this week, and that is two too many!

Have a great nite people, xx

P.S. Still no word from Blondie, hope she is ok too!
