    They are indeed Sal. Ordered them from Very in the end, with a £10 discount voucher so £35. Bargain for lush boots :T

    Just got to pray I dont look an awful mess in the dress now. Fingers crossed they all arrive early next week and I can stop panicking.

    Hair booked for Wednesday too, and all paid for with the money we dont spend this month on council tax and water rates :D
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    I really wish I had the motivation to get my jobs done.
    I know its not much to do but I really need to empty bins & put washing on, and I promised mum I'd sort all the half empty bottles of stuff out in the bathroom yesterday, which i haven't done yet.

    Will someone please kick me up the bottom!!

    You are welcome...everytime you think of buying something come on and tell me and I will persuade you that you don't need it! I am so going to try and not spend ANYTHING on me this year...I might need some tights and underwear for next winter but really going to try and not go mad.

    Just think if you can get through this month without spending wildly you will have all that extra cash!

    Im just trying to create a new excel spreadsheet with the budget as my old one went when the laptop died grrrrr.

    OH has just told me he wants to use B's savings to pay for the repairs for his bike so that he can get it back and then sell it. Now I am in 2 minds....I just wonder whether he will actually sell it. Why can't he get on and sell some of the crap he has here on ebay

    It's a deal ;) Think I'm still sort of stuck with the idea that buying some particular item will somehow make my life magically better, even though I logically know that it won't! Wonder how I got so much debt huh? :o

    Sounds like me...Ive always spent money to try and make me happy. I find though that once I get on a determined streak and don't spend any money it becomes easier and makes me more determined. Ive been crazy this month...making milk and stuff last an extra day so that I don't have to buy any on a day that would be a NSD otherwise. Planning going to the post office on a day when I have to spend money anyway :rotfl:
