InaPickle getting out of a pickle!

Pickle - might be worth adding a slight surplus to entertainment every month for those just in case drinks/dinners/coffees etc - then if you dont use it it can roll over to next...just a thought!

Very good idea Becky: I will have to do it next month. I just need to make sure I treat is as emergency money, not as part of my socialising budget as I'm quite sure that I could easily find something to do with it! I
must be strict with myself.

I'm just as bad Pickle - I have tiny debts in comparison to some but its taken me ages to get anywhere near debt free as I do like my social life

@ Lee, and I know what you mean, Becky! No, can't entirely stop a social life as that would just make me miserable and be counterproductive as I'd probably buy something to make myself feel better, but I must try to be a little careful about it and not just decide that I'm going to the cinema/out for drinks at the drop of a hat. To be fair. I've had absolutley no social life for about two months, but invitations are like buses...;) I'll still be as careful as possible and try to keep expenses to a minimum: dinner on Monday/Tuesday doesn't have to be at the most expensive restaurant in town in order to be tasty and fun, does it?!

OK, so am now the other side of last night and it was fun and not too expensive. I spent about £21.50, which is pretty good. I had budgeted about £25 for the night, so I'm slightly under. I can put the rest toward Sunday.

On other related news, I can't find my cashcard. It's one way to stop spending, I guess! :rotfl:

Study-wise, I haven't done anything. :eek: Bad, bad Pickle! Get your bum in gear. There is no excuse for not yesterday, although today is a bit different, but you can still get something done.

I hope the fact that your green light is out means that you are doing lots of lovely studying!

I hope you get the French Uni on your side over the weekend.

Hi Hypno! :hello:

Alas, no. I was at work flogging my shop's wares to the unsuspecting public. I've just got back and am about to have dinner, possibly followed up by a smidgen of studying (or maybe red wine - yum - but mainly studying). That's how guilty I feel!

Hmm...better go and get the dinner sorted.

Yeah, but if I have too much wine, there'll be no studying! One large glass only, and that's probably too much. And jaffa cakes. Someone bought some while I was out. :T
