    Xmas Saver!
    I wouldn't worry to much about the bank, most of them have cut their fees and u've cancelled the one. Think its £5 aday with Alliance + Leicester, (normal current accout), would there of been a chance that the ctc or which it was would go inbefore Tues, they usually have a habit of paying b4 a bank hol.

    have to come and have a proper catch up, can't believe how well ur doing xx

    :easter_baHi all and thanks for comments. Happy easter!
    I had alovely galaxy minstrels egg! Which i put on my food diary mac!
    Only had a bit of it!
    Going visiting in a bit and going to walk its about half an hour there and back so a good walk!!!
    I have drank far to much wine since Tues!! So i think i ought to reighn it in now!
    I have seriously been thinking about my no shop challenge! As i have not been out since March 31st anyway so yes i am going to do it a whole month no where near a shop!:eek::eek::eek:
    I am off 12th April for a week so this will be good as otherwise i would just randomly lurch from one shop to another kidding myself i am hunting out bargins! Where as yes i do get some super bargins (within the £50 could have done without shop) but we done need anything so it would not be a bargin!!
    Does that make sence? Hubby can get groceries!!:rotfl:
    Have a lovely and peaceful easter sunday

  • BTD, totally agree with you. If you don't need it, it's NOT a bargain..... When I realised that, I really had a breakthrough...so when it comes to clothes, I buy nothing at full price now anway, and I pass up things that seem like great bargains, that the old me would have had like a shot, but now I only get them if I really need soemthing, or, as you might have noticed from my diary, if there's some sort of event happening in my life. Then it generally it has to come out of my budget for the week, which means the cash in my purse, and not my debit card, as that would be on top of my weekly allowance otherwise, IYSWIM. Am far from a paragon, but at least now, I do stop to think and plan my purchases.

    Good luck on the challenge!

    You're not the only one! :p:o

    Trouble is, I'm even more overspent on the calories that the cash, so I'm too afraid to start paying it back. I need a calorific LBM! :eek:

    Sorry to whinge on your thread but I really need to kick butt in the lardy bum department. Have polished off my final egg, so there's less temptation that way, at least. Is there a calorie snowball online for us hopeless money-attuned weight losers? :p
