    Could you try ringin them up and asking if they can do anything? I am regretting doing my BT now, I wish I'd rang them first to see what they could have offered me. Nevermind though, it's done now.

    Na, it's crap cos I was crap with money and can't pretend I wasn't.

    We reopen tomorrow!!! Got a lovely new top picked out and some trousers. They're amazing. meant to be crops but on my short legs they're just peg legs. Can buy loads of pretty tops for them and wear them outside too. Quite hareemy (not a word i know) so good for summer too. And yes I have money in the budget for them, which feels great.

    Thanks girls XXX

    Hey all no posts from me since last week so need to update.

    Weekend was good, went to a mates for curry on Saturday and worked Sunday.
    Off Monday and did lots of cleaning then had a cheap Chinese with a friend. Tuesday was a long day at work as my supervisor is off and I saw an FWB last night. On a late tomorrow but want to read a few of my mags and a bit of Delia so plan to take computer and mags to bed very soon and get all cosy in my bedroom.

    Sold a book on Green Metrolpolis yesterday! and did my meal plan. Have just over £8 left for the month which will be fine as only have 2 mains and 1 lunch to buy from it. Enjoyed doing this (in a sad fashion!) but couldn't believe how much food costs in Tesco as opposed to Aldi.

    Did my snowball the other day. It will be tight but it's doable by end of Jan 2011 which is great news. Will use some Scotish Power overpayments to help and also cut back fun budget a bit.

    Had 2 NSD's which I'm chuffed about.

    Off to beautify and get ready for bed X Back later.
