  • I'm only at £1.20 - haven't rated many though ... I have to say I prefer Dooyoo but will persevere. Loved your 'in the zone' comment, I'm a bit like that with reviews!

    Good idea with the spendy week, will mean you don't resent saving. Any idea what you're gonna get?? Links please!

    And well done for paying off your credit card!

    Thank you Dallas :D Just checked my online account this morning and my payment has cleared so I'm offically debt free :j Yeeeeeessssssss!!

    Just text OH asking him if there's anywhere he fancies going for dinner on Sunday - and all I got back was 'where you getting this money from?' :rolleyes: I know my debt was small compaired to others but I'm determined to celebrate it a little bit. Even if that celebration is only a Virgin Cocktail at Frankies and Bennys! (Which I have a £5 voucher for, so I'm keeping my celebration MSE! :D)

    ETA: Not sure Tete! Having a meal out and that's all I'm certain on. Thinking maybe something from Lush? Or, erm.. I don't know. I still have my debt clearing head on thinking 'I don't really need anything' Doing the rest of my Christmas shopping on Wednesday though so we'll see what 'falls' into my basket!

    Those pans you got were really nice Dinah! Good luck with your reviews, I've completely given up with DooYoo atm. Lost the ooomph after I redeemed the amazon voucher (which I hope I get soon as the book I want to get my Pa has been reduced a bit!)

    I need to remember to use my Frankie and Benny's voucher, but it won't be for a while cuz I'm poor at the moment! :rolleyes:

    Cinny my OH always says stuff like that he thinks I am silly for scrimping and saving on some things and then occassionally splashing out. He has also decided I am not really in debt and I am a fake on this forum...yes darling whatever you say.
  • Well if you're using a voucher for your celebration meal, you can definitely afford a little bit of Lush!

    I'm 10,000 miles of having enough for my Wainwright box set, that's only like 5 reviews and a bit of rating, might see if I can do it by the end of October....

    Thanks Girls. I will not impulse buy and use my card ever again, I promise. Scouts Honour!

    I'm sure you'll be able to do it Tete! Your reviews always seem to get loads of ratings so it shouldn't take much.

    I don't think the Frankies and Bennys will come to more than £20 with the voucher - so I think a Lush treat will be more than possible. It's just getting OH into Meadowhall that'll be the problem..

    Hurrah for being debt free (again) Cinny! I think you definitely deserve a little treat, or two... :D
