    I did like Zante, it is a pretty island. Can be very British in terms of bars etc but if you don't mind that is good

    Hey Jen, you have been busy. I went and bought 2 new bra's for £32 and i feel so guilty its ridiculous! Its not like it was an impulse buy, i have been needing new ones for probably way over a year lol but didnt/couldnt afford to really (well without spending on my cc that is) when i asked the sales assistant if it was the correct size for me ect (as i was an A) she said "oh no your definately not an A" woop woop lol so i blatently needed these but i feel bad coz im trying to be debt free! i havent bought anything though for most of last year and well atleast all of this year untill now. Got an exciting day tomorrow with a hire so fingers crossed on the money front and the weather! :D

    I have spent nearly £200 today on shoes, toiletries, clothes, a birthday pressie and food shopping from Iceland and Tesco.

    I did desperately need new work trousers though as i am so short the bottoms get ruined. Ordered them online from New Look so will get some cashback and managed to find a 20% off code though so still MSE style.

    Thats my splurge for the month though.

    Not as bad as my OH he has brought a Laptop today on his credit card :rolleyes:

    Morning,

    I swear the sunny weather makes us spend more money! I had to stock up on dog items yesterday new dog bed £12, dental sticks £9 and dog food £35. It all had to go on the CC as i dont have any money until tuesday when the wages go in.

    Im not going out today though my skin is awful, major spots around my chin and coupleon forehead, ever since coming off the pill my face has been having major outbreaks. Ive always suffered from spots thats why i was put on the pill when i was young. They really get me down tbh.

    I got emailed that code lilmiss, theres some shoes i want on there but postage is expenisve. You didnt find any free delivery codes did you?

    Nope sorry just found that 20% one when looking for free delivery, I saved £7.20 using it so covers postage and a few quid.
