    But thanks for all the kind words everyone, and just think even when the debts are getting us all down, just try photographing your own butt! and everything seems relative! xx big love to all xx

    Don't let SS know or he'll be round like a shot!!!!!:rotfl:
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    £5.17 today on bin bags, swing bin liners, and loo roll.Should all last quite some time though. Am hoping for no spend day tomorrow, will be first one of the week!

    Must make more of an effort to get back on top with things.
    Gave myself a small congrats', when walking back home, i popped into HMV, was looking at compliation album and actually talked myself out of it. Convinced myself that it really wasn't worth the money.

    Decided that for what I was going to pay for it, I could put that money toward a new bistro set, which would only have been £10 more than the cd!And it's gonna last a hell of a lot longer than some album!

    Woohoo me xx

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Well done on avoiding HMV. I can't even go in record shops anymore because I know if I even set foot in the door I'll be lost forever in my own personal heaven and come out with about 20 CD's. It's been soooooo long since I last bought any music and I really really miss it!!

    Have a good day off today. I second the leaving your purse at home thing. But it is quite embarrassing when you forget you've left your purse at home and try to pay for your shopping in the supermarket!!

    If I could beat myself with a big fat stick then I would!

    I've spent money (I'm not giving out the figure!) and I know I shouldn't have.
    I'm so annoyed with mysefl! I'm in a really lousy mood just lately, have heard nothing back from job applications, got in trouble with work, boyfriend is just being plain old weird and I'm just losing the will!

    I know I'll pay for it more in the long run, but part of me isnt sure that I've really even had my true light bulb moment if I'm still doing stupid things like this. With all the bets intentions in the world I'm just not getting there, so now I'm hating myself even more and I just wish I could curl up.........

    I can't take any of it back since its mostly bits and pieces like shower stuff etc and body scrub. but I just didnt need it, I've got home and theres loads still in the cupboards.

    I know I was shopping because I was bored, but now I'm just looking at these bags thinking what the hell have you done you stupid girl! If I had the money to spend on this rubbish, I could have paid off some more of the credit cards etc.

    I'm so angry at myself!
