I am in a lot better place emotionally than I was 3 months ago for sure and having my lovely MSE mates has helped me lots yes

I am just being me, being alone, trying to get some savings back and will see what next year brings.
I don't want to rush into anything, job, move or relationship (defo on that one not gonna be healed fully for a long time and don't want to open up to anyone) so just taking one day at a time and seeing how things go now.Now a SAHM trying to earn some spare pennies each month0 -
I don't blame you for deleting them hun, it helps not to have a constant reminder all the time doesn't it. Like you said, just one step at a time, things will fall into place eventually.0

Hello new peoples

Well Izzy has been to the vets, had her booster and is now chipped but set me back £64.92
Fingers crossed no more trips needed until next year now!
I also managed to get my winter coat from Next for exactly £50 which was good.
I did spot some nice clothes in there though that I am tempted to order and put on my next account which never gets used, I want some "boyfriend" style jeans and spotted a few nice tops
Next is good though as I have to buy petite trousers and they are one of the few places I like that do them.Now a SAHM trying to earn some spare pennies each month0 -
I hope izzy was well behaved at the vets.
Yeah im the same next petite trousers fit me just right, its not so bad having little legs. haha.
I have a pair of boyfriend jeans fom Next and may aswell live in them there sooo comfy, im sure a few things on your next account wouldnt hurt....would it? ohhh im being the devil on your shoulder tempting you to buy!
Thats good you found a winter coat for excatly what your nan gave you. I badly need some winter clothes and coats, but im going to need to grow into any clothes i buy now, so dont have a clue what size clothing to buy for the cold months.Make £5 a day JAN £121/175 FEB £283/175:jWeekly Grocery budget of £35! Jan £95.05/175 Feb £37.53/1750 -
Yeah you are tempting me but I am bored, need some retail therapy he he!
Will make sure I get cashback on it if I do.
I am also hungry, I live a 2 minute walk from a Tesco now, want to go buy carbs but then again can't be bothered to move my butt! :rotfl:Now a SAHM trying to earn some spare pennies each month0 -
I love my boyfriend style Jeans too, i have a couple of pairs. I get mine from River Island, their Jeans are always a fab fit on me. Good quality and they wash really well too.0

I have just ordered 2 pairs of jeans, a dress/top thingy and a pair or leggings coming to £98 :eek:
Ordered for delivery to store so don't have to pay a delivery charge though at least.
The dress would look good with skinny jeans too for nights out and I might wear it to my Christmas do but problem is its not petite so might look a bit odd, I have normal upper body just stumpy legs! :mad:Now a SAHM trying to earn some spare pennies each month0
