    It is a lot to spend on a night out though SS :p !!! I thought I had spent £50 at first which I was discusted with, but realised I stashed some £££ in my jeans & had a purse full of coins.......!!

    What can I say? I was thirsty! :rolleyes: :D

    I hardly ever drink anyway so it probably works out at about a tenner a month! :p



    Right I'm off to sort myself out so I don't forget anything! Enjoy the rest of your days and evenings! :D

    Think of me in the pouring rain and cold when your all tucked up in your beds tonight! :o;)

    May has certainly been my worst month since my lightbulb moment and I'm determined to make it a one-off. :doh:

    Was meant to be going out on Sunday with friends but I'm gonna give it a miss as I don't have the money. :(

    Went night fishing yesterday and couldn't sleep and ended up thinking about this place and money as always. Anyway I just felt really really crap about my debts. Worse than I have ever felt before. I can't stand the thought that this is my life for the next 3 years so something is going to have to give. :o

    Come August I'm gonna be banging on the MD's door at work for a well deserved payrise (will be in a better negotiating position then rather than now). If that fails then I'm gonna have to consider looking for a new job. I don't want to coz I like it where I am but I have to be earning more money. Not only coz of my debts but because for what I do I am underpayed.

    I dunno whether it's just because I'm on my 'monthly cycle' so to speak where nothing has happened to my debts. All the next payments go out in about a weeks time. :rolleyes:

    Well thats my rant over for the time being! ;)

    At least the World Cup is only 2 weeks away! :dance:

    Not enough to go out with on Sunday then? Could you not drive, charge for lifts and drink soft drinks? Mind you I don't know what you had planned.

    Unfortunately it's a meal and a !!!!!! up! :doh:

    I'm not too bothered about missing it to be honest! Hate the thought of wasting money on booze! :rolleyes:
