So here's to you, Mrs R....

Signature updated for this month's payments, see below. If funds allow when I get back from the Paris trip, will pay the other £40 to neaten that RBS up to £650. And really must do something about that odd ninety pence to Egg! And also, need to look at at BT from Egg somewhere else as the 0% runs out sometime in May......

Have a good w/e all

Hi just popping in to wish you happy easter!xx

mrs_robinson_3

Don't know about all of you, but am finding it really hard to find just what I want in the shops, clothes-wise.....I think it's because I'm so keen these days not to waste any money, that what I do actually get must be just right, so then I get paralysed by indecision, or alternatively, as today, I buy something that seems just right, and when I get it home it's so not, so then I have to return it, in search of the thing that is right, rather than (as previously), keep it anyway.... ....ah (in the name of someone else's diary) the trials and tribulations of a debt-free wannabe......

Mrs R, I know exactly what you mean. I think it falls somewhere between having very definite standards plus wanting to be MSE when it comes to buying anything. But do remember that being MSE does include spending more on something that is "right" & will last, as opposed to buying things that are "ok" but need to be replaced often. I think cut/fit is all these days

Hi
just popped by to say thanks for the post iam now back on the debt busting fight xxx

mrs_robinson_3

Thanks NF - wow, your totals look greatly reduced - well done you!

So I finally parted with £65 today, in pursuit of items for Paris.

Contrary to my post above, this was fine, as the things I found were perfect and will be sure to get a lot of use from them. Kind of upper end of the high st things, IYKYIM, and reduced anyway......

And it was real money (still no use of CCs, now since Aug '08 and don't think will ever use one again...), and can be accommodated in this month's budget, so OK. Just need to be frugal on my return, and all should be well.....

Now it's just my pedi tomorrow, which am SO looking forward to, as had home administered ones since Aug 08 when this journey began, so feels like a real treat.....will be delicious to deliberate over which colour....I never paint my nails in the winter, to allow them to recover from a spring and summer of full-on colour, so to me the painting is a spring time ritual, too....

Once that's done, and the hair the next day, I can begin to relax into the trip..... Honestly, it's just a few days away, and it's nowhere exotic really, but 5 whole days (with no washing to do, no meals to think about, shop for, and cook, no petit chiens to walk, no squabbling garcons to placate) will be blissful......

And two new books to read, which only cost me £3.50 as cashed in a survey voucher.....ah, c'est la vie.....

Au revoir

Madame R

Paris in springtime.......bien sur! I am sure you will have a fabulous time. 5 days away will feel like a whole lot longer because you will be completely re-energised (not that you ever sound as though you lack energy, I have to say!).

Enjoy the choosing of colour for your toes!

It's so exciting, and well done with the not spending on a cc since august 08.

Not sure going to Paris now. Terrible row with Mr R. Says he'll go alone and be pleased to do so. V upset - not so much at missing the trip, as way I feel now, don't want to be with him. But just at how to get back from this. Did he have this in mind all along? i.e. get redundancy/work related package (bearing in mind is 6 figures) then get rid of me, enjoy ensuring I have to work?) V crying now.

Sorry, not usually me, but no one else to tell at this time of day. Will regret this post in morning, am sure.
