    I'm sitting here staring at a £5 Tesco clubcard voucher! :wall:


    Your week still going well :rotfl: ;)

    ... I returned some things back to M & S this week and decided to treat myself again (free see, no money spent). So I ended up spending more than I returned and........ I forgot to use the vouchers from the returned stuff :rolleyes:

    Oh dear, I will have to spend them now :p

    Theres lots of reasons.

    Mine was through greed and a must have it now attitude! Consolidating credit cards into loans then racking up the credit cards again! :doh:

    Other people get into debt through things like business' going bust, illness, unemployment. Not everyone is as stupid as me! :rolleyes: :p
