    Lol, just caught up. Gwen me and my friend were talking about this the other day. In my old life i.e when I worked overseas I always bought lovely make up and was a huge Clinique fan ....today I'm off to buy a Rimmell concealer after my last one ran out over a week ago and I had to poke bits of it out with a cotton bud for a fortnight before that!!!! Never mind one day I will again be a valued customer of Clinique and Lancome and Clarins and ...you get the picture!

    Oh dear.. Sounds like everyone is tempted at the moment. I have my birthday coming up in june but have organised extra shifts at work... so that will pay for the copious amounts of macorons, petit fours and champagne I have planned for my marie-antoinette inspired masked birthday. Was a little disappointed with my 21st last year, so I'm compensating ;):D

    Butterflies and Yargo - glad to hear all is going well :heartpuls

    misslauren - what a fab birthday idea! Am now dreaming of a coffee macaron (and very tempted to go over to Waitrose to see if they have any in the reduced section...drool).

    And for the (virtual or real) spenders, I'm having the opposite problem at the moment. One of my clothes rails has buckled (it's been under considerable strain :o), but I just can't seem to bring myself to buy a new one. I've been bidding on eBay, but can't manage to go for that final bid that would secure an item. In the meantime, the clothes rail is leaning further and further forward and is now propped up on a shoe rack. If it finally collapses, I probably won't be able to open the door into the room. Just how stoopid am I? :(
  • My credit card transfer got rejected 'did not meet hsbcs criteria' i am guessing cause my credit report shows i pay everything off. two debts only of mortage and tesco cc.

    Will try santander application tomorrow as it was not working the other day.

    Went to bf's last night for curry he made, lovely it was. met his friend and eventually i left at five past twelve, got home at 12.40pm, naughty eh? Suffered at work today so early night tonight. Sat night hes picking me up going to his where he will make a better curry, dvd in and sunday a barbecue if weather good and see where the weekend takes us.
    Really like him. we get on fab.:rotfl:

    I have £90 to live on till the 14th may aaarrrgh but am sure I will do it. even though I have tried a lot of saving I dont seem to be getting anywhere?:(

    Evening/Night/Morning everyone! I have just been lurking as my dissertation hand-in is just a week away and the pressure is building. I'm 6,000 words in and it's going pretty well though. Still got another assignment to start but I'll worry about that next week!

    I haven't been posting because my loan came in on Monday so I immediately spent £700 on rent and over £200 on debt repayments to various people. I haven't had time to go shopping either so I've been buying lunch plus energy drinks and chocolate to keep me alert in the library!

    Lauren: Good luck with the party, sounds awesome :D I had my 22nd in Oz and it was, quite frankly, one of the lowest points of my life to date! I'm sure yours will go with a bang!

    It's nice to hear that those of you with new partners are having a good time :D My lady friend has been away for a month now but she gets back on Saturday so I'm splurging 2wks drinking money on taking her to dinner!

    Night night!

    Wow, that really was a lot of exclamation marks, I need to calm down.
