Have you looked on the Debenhams website or even eBay for that Radley Bags? They're usually loads cheaper..
I've got a Radley bag that I'm thinking of selling on eBay (so that I can get another one instead! - they are lovely bags. Everyone should own one!)

Only one:eek::rotfl:

Milk

Eggs

Salt
Carrots
Onions
Beef stock cubes (If on offer)

Help me resist the lure of this bag....

Oh that is much prettiness but I am banned from handbag shopping after buying 2 the week before Xmas. Do you have any Xmas money or something so you could justify it?

I think my plan for the next few weeks is to try and investigate my cupboards if it is not too scary a task as I have been insprired.:D

As for Doctor Who I think you are correct we need to reserve judgement until we have seen a few episodes but we still have a while to wait.:mad:

Wishing you a Happy Shiney New Diary F_F :beer:

I've always found you a big inspiration and it's great to see you've halved your original debt - that's a fab result, and knowing your tenacity - I'm sure the rest will follow soon.

Right, well that's me back to the lurkers closet :rotfl:

All the Best for 2010 !!

Ha! I know, I'm slacking aren't I?!
Think I'll see if I can get a bargain on eBay (funded by selling my existing one of course Beans!)

[strike]Milk
Bread
Eggs
Ham[/strike]
Salt None left!
[strike]Carrots
Onions
Beef stock cubes (If on offer)
Mouthwash (If on offer)[/strike]

Bought stock cubes despite them not being on offer as 24 of them will last me for ages and I'll forget otherwise!! I did buy two items not on my list - leeks to bulk up my soup and peppers (Big bag for £1)

Total spend was £10.88 which is quite good for me I also returned £54 worth of clothes to Next, which will go back onto my credit card soon. I have some bits to take back to M&S as well, and once these have been returned I will know how much I have "spare" from my Christmas money and this will go back to my savings account or used in the Boots 75% off sale

Updated money post

Following the grocery spend and transfering £100 of my Christmas money out of my Spends account, the current situation is:

Spends = £110
PAD = £55
Groceries = £98.38
Entertainment = £50.50

I still have no money in my purse

Today I have made lamb for dinner (Yum!), using up the half bag of roast tatties leftover from Christmas. I also made some leek & potato soup which should be tasty. I'm taking it to work tomorrow for lunch as I'm in doing overtime (Double time, yay!) I also made the conscious decision not to take any money out of the bank as this will stop me from buying more coffee at work. Once the flasks are done, that's it!

Plans for tomorrow are:

Survive work
Charge phone at work
Print out freezer/toiletries/cupboard lists & tape into diary

I have vague thoughts of dinner but haven't decided what it's going to look like yet. I need to sit and work out a meal plan using the gubbins in the freezer
