    Only you know if it's an excuse or not! You do what is best for you and it is your money, you're not accountable to us (even though it probably feels like it!) :D


    But I AM accountable to you all and so much better off for it!

    About £10 on stupid things that I didn't really need. Boooooooo! :mad:

    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

    I have spent £10 on 2 games of bowling & shoe hire plus about £5 on two drinks at the bar.

    Luckily I got a lift there & back saving me a small fortune on a bus & then a taxi home. I also ate at home before I went out so I wouldn't have to have one of their overpriced and underwhelming veggie burger & chip basket meals which would have left me skinter and feeling like I needed a shower - dirty food, urgh!

    OK... not a great day. I spent:

    £9.99 on new sunglasses (broke mine at the weekend and have been squinting ever since)
    £15.00 on registering for a Breast Cancer Pink Aerobics event in September
    £1.59 on a cheese pastry at the station (missed lunch and was starving)
    £11.00 on some bangles and new earrings- yes I know that sounds extravagant but I've got to go to a posh do on Friday and have to look the part.

    On the plus side I haven't spent a single penny on cooking at home since my big monthly shop last week (£82).
    Debt at highest May 2006: £27,472.24
    currently: £13,353.25

    Well I had a bad day.
    No time to make lunch. Bought a sandwich and choccy after an awful morning and an even worse evening previously. Went to see the horse she has rubbed herself raw with her cheap fly rug (Sorry mate I am a moneysaver that is how I afford you!!) So I have had to spend £100 on a good one. Don't anyone mention ebay or I will cry. :cry: although I might sell the cheapie on Ebay(need a scared icon here)
    I cannot sleep. The credit card bill came and reminded me I had spent £200 on fixing the car.
    Well at least you lot are doing well.:j
    I am offering donkey rides at £10 a time if anyone is interested...:rotfl:
    Good luck with tomorrow!
    Ahh birds! Today!
