Feeling good!

Hi
I have just booked to go and see Westlife with a friend in May.This is costing me £35 for the ticket----feel quite good as for once I have got the monies saved---not putting it on a CC!!!
We usually take a holiday in May but I knew we couldnt afford it this year---usually i would have had the holiday and gone to see Westlife----all courtesy of my CC!!!
So i feel good---I will enjoy the night knowing i had saved up for it(out of my £2 pot!!)--and much as I will miss having a hol this spring I know that it is better to get the debts paid off first!!!(most of my debts are down to holiday!)
Thanks to all the wonderful people on MSE!!!
xx

    Well done gilly41 i am sure the night will be an even better one because of you knowing its all paid for in the way it should be :D

    Plus you have given me a great idea, i love going to gigs and was wondering how i could do that when i am tryinging hard to be a good DFW nerd but your post has made me think about it and i have found the solution. There is one band i simply would hate to miss when they play England so i will miss the others and instead concentrate on saving a little each month to put towards a ticket to their gig, they normally don't play England until October so should have plenty of time :j
