Ah yes DebtFree, I like the cunning in your plan, however

R.E Spending splurge, treating yourself too often will make you go nuts......

Have I missed something here ????
Whats the copycat Challenge

Theres a thread floating around the board called CopyCat Challenge.

Basically theres about 7 of us all in competition against each other to raise £1200, so thats like one complete credit card bill for me. The competition will, in theory, spur us on plus we can steal tips and ideas from one another

Oh and one other thing before I forget, I caught up with thread about tax relief for cleaning your works uniform at home, not sure if you wear a uniform at your job, but if you do, you can claim tax back on the cleaning costs
(its a thread under the TAX discussion group)

Try stealing from the others in the contest. Double benefits - you've got more money and they've got less

PEACHES! Thats shocking..........
but...... hmmmmmmm?

LOL Well I b*ggered it up anyway because I spent £14 today. Got myself two fantastic books which I've wanted for ages from work, to try and do something artistic for a hobby! At least it gives me something to do!

Are we allowed to know the titles of said books?
(Can I take it that it wasnt "a beginners guide to pole dancing" when you mean artistic ?????????:eek:

And just to cheer you up a little bit, even me, Mr old planned expenditure, general tight wad made a £50 impulse purchase today.........
Which just goes to prove that it happens to us all :money:

1: The Great Book of Art : Art Deco
2: The Great Book of Art : Art Nouveau

I wanted to try my hand at some drawing and maybe some painting, but as I told the BF earlier, I have all the creativity but just none of the ability!

Using the books as inspiration. Found a fantastic picture of a Art Deco water fountain that I was thinking would make a phenomenal bedroom panel screen. Cheapy MDF needed for that though, and again some ability would help! lol

So £50 what did that go on then? And that actually made me feel a lot better!
