    Hello DFW peeps, my internet is being connected on Fri the 16th so I can sit on here for hours and catch up properly! Have really missed the forum and you singletons... all my friends have gone and got themselves partners so I'm feeling particularly bitter and cynical today...

    I'm sorry for the demon I've become but you should be sorry for the angel you are not.

    Hey All

    I'm quite excited as I had three things on ebay for sale which finish today and there is now one bid on one of them....that means I've sold something!!! :j Not for very much but still that will hopefully start my Ebay empire off and once my feedback builds up should hopefully improve things!

    TDQO - try not to get too bitter and cynical...save that for when you are as old as me!!!! How is your new term going??

    I've still got a lot of tidying to do but managed to return library books, roasted a chicken and done a load of washing....
    I've got my own flat :j:j

    Now I have to pay the bills :eek:

    And feed my interiors addiction ;)

    OMG, I've been seriously lusting after those, they are in the new ad right?! They are so gorgeous but I'm trying to be good and haven't checked out the website or anything.

    Yay to staff discount though!

    They are so fabulous clarabella23!

    Watching X Factor in my pjs and having seen your shoes am now wearing a gorgeous black pair I bought from Moda In Pelle. Stupidly high and can't walk in them properly but what the hell!

    Am avoiding temptation by ignoring all the shoe talk:D

    Welcome back TDQ, hope you are enjoying your course and still being helpful to all those freshers:D

    Had to do some spending today, £30 on petrol and £19.30 on food which was all needed and will last the week at least, hopefully more, mostly fruit and veg and a bit of meat and fish, reduced yoghurt, a big bar of Lindt chocolate for £1:D, cereal and bread and half price biscuits. (and a bottle of wine;)). I have lots of tinned and frozen stuff to be getting on with and I am going to try to run those down, I want to try and get them used before I do another big shop. I am trying to concentrate on just not spending money at all rather than finding bargains. (Wine, biscuits and chocolate are necessities:p).

    Today's list:
    • food shop under target of £20
    • coins in piggy
    • used cashback cc which is paid in full each month
    • store cupboard meals
    • ignored shoe talk:D
    • read papers online
    Also weighed myself and I have definitely lost 8lbs so quite happy with that. :j
    Pay/save £20k in 2010 £5888.75/£20,000
    June Mini target 0/5lbs Total 23/40
    Ebay profit 2010: March £207:) April £95:) May £130:) June £0 Total £432:j
