Handbags & Gladrags – Confessions of a Recovering Spendaholic

Swinstie73

Hi everyone,

Not been on for a while as had loads to do and also not been feeling to great, think it's nerves for flying as I am not a fan! Well only 7 working days to go then off for a whole month, yeah!

Going to book bus to and from hotel to the airport and the train, if I book before 31 July, it's 60% off so will save some money there. Sister is paying for the hotel in New York, so we will pay for some meals etc., so shouldn't be too expensive (I hope).

Been in a very spending mood this past week but got some bargains, did a trial pack and suitcase is 6lbs under and I still have 11llbs for hand-luggage so all looking ok.

Internet at home and tv has packed in and engineer can't come out til Friday. I have already mentioned compy as paying for services I don't have for 4 days, big worry is if I lose all the progs I've taped the last two months, I think I will cry!

Anyway just a quick catch up, not caught up with other diaries but will try and pop in for an update in the next week, will really miss being on here (but not too much, ha)! x

Ah don't be jealous, if it wasn't already bought and paid for since last year (and before my LBM), I wouldn't be going anywhere! Probably will be nowhere for me next year!

Well gonna update my holiday ticker, debt ticker and signature before I leave work, hate not having the net at home, flaming better be fixed on Friday. I am now just under £9.5K :j:j. Still on track to be debt free in 14 months (Sept 2010). Got a couple of things to get for the house after the hols but have been saving up so won't need to hammer the credit card. Will update my totals later as need to find them (again)!

Hope everyone else is well x

Getting stressed now, cos I hate flying :eek:. On the plus side, did a trial pack and not looking too bad, still got my undies to put in though, that could tip it over the edge :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
