    Ms_London, the roller disco last night was awesome, so much fun! I picked it up really quickly, didn't fall too many times, it was such a laugh! It's a great night out - only quibble is that it got kind of busy about 10pm but there's plenty of places to sit down and rest so that's ok. The bar is expensive, £4 for a beer! But we were having so much fun skating, we actually didn't bother with drinks so it ended up being a cheap night out. Would really recommend it, we'll be going back!

    Thanks for letting me know climbgirl - sounds as though had fun. Will you PM me with the name of the club? Although I think it might be the one I have seen in Time Out...

    Morning all.

    Been to the gym this morning and am very proud of myself as I actually ran on the treadmill!! (dont usually go near it!) - and although it was only for a minute I was very pleased - despite looking like Phoebe from friends when I run :0)

    Lunch with me today, and in tonight (oh what an exciting life I lead!!) - although bought some groceries last night so spent £20. I feel bad spending so much when I know others (Skintchick for example) can manage on heaps less, but I did buy quite a bit, and a lot of fruit & basics...

    Need to post some more ebay parcels today.

    Off out for Afternoon Tea with a friend today so will probably spend around £10-£12. Sounds quite expensive but we worked out a while ago that it was cheaper than going out for lunch or dinner, plus the tea is so huge that I never need to eat an evening meal afterwards. Oh, and I've not been out at all this week.

    Have I come up with enough good excuses yet??!

    Out with some friends tonight, but will only cost me £15 or so, and I haven't been out in ages so I'm not going to beat myself up about it!

    Spent quite a bit but could have spent even more !

    80p bus fare but walked there & walked to next stop on way home to get into the next fare zone,saving 30p !

    £7.23 Kwiksave but they are closing down so could have spent more on reduced stuff

    50p Bakers,just got the rolls i wanted & resisted buying cakes for DD & I since we have enough at home

    £1 pound shop,it's almost unknown for me to go into pound shop & just leave with one thing !
