    :hello: Lee,

    Just found your diary. (Well, it only seems polite given that you found mine a while ago.) I look forward to keeping up-to-date with things in Leeland.

    Good luck busting that debt for the rest of the year. May you also earn enough to buy a debt-free bottle of champagne to open at midnight on the 31st. :T

    I am so annoyed with myself. :mad:

    Had a training day today at work in a nice town we don't normally go to. Out for lunch (fine, I'd budgeted for that...), but stopped off at Costa Coffee on the way back and spent £2.30 on a coffee.

    If THAT wasn't bad enough I then bought one of their "make Costa at home" kits for £5.95 !!! :eek::mad:

    That aside, I do LOVE flavoured coffee, and there is enough in this kit to last a year or more... so it IS good value, but it also IS entirely unnecessary.

  • Well perhaps you can class coffee as essentials! At least it is something you will use and enjoy.
    This time I haven't smoked since 6th Jan 2014 and still going ok.
    Fingers crossed x

    Coffee itself is an essential. So. hmm... I like your thinking ;)
