    Well at least you got more for your money than you used to.
    You've been doing well for a while too...so you're allowed to be a little naughty as long as you don't fall off the wagon completely!

    Well no other shopping sprees thus far so I don't think I have fallen off the wagon completely at least :p

    I am however looking at getting a gym membership, which I will be able to afford anyway seeing as I overpriced my transport costs by around $15 a week. So I'm looking forward to Bodypump, Bodystep, Bodybalance, Bodycombat and Bodybalance classes, as well as swimming and some weights. If I don't get fit and toned this way I have no idea how I ever will! :D

    Well, more uni work... having a bbq with a few friends this weekend so am looking forward to that at the end of all this

    Well I have ordered them a 'You're a Star' cookie and chocolate bouquet which will be delivered tomorrow... But I'm not sure this time, unfortunately it seems to be the same person who bares the brunt of it... problem with taking it out on the people closest to you... sigh.

    Ugh.. my credit card figures have gone up. Silly 21sts for good friends and gym memberships to get me healthy.... oh well, will get it down ASAP
