    Ah, Triangle! I'm glad you're feeling better!

    ALSO, I love that game. The Mega Collection or something? Makes me want to play again! Lol.

    I think I was about 5 when Dad first for a mega drive, and I used to hide behind the sofa when he played the end of the casino night zone...

    Now I know what to spend my Game gift card on! ^^;

    Evening all,

    Today I have been a bad girl:

    I Ate a pizza
    Brought a glass shelf - one in bathroom broke and they are not cheap booo
    Spent £30 in Tesco on Luxuries
    On the upside - all bills have come out - I will have to budget the next two months if I want to pay my car off early!
    Checked online banking - most bills have come out all major ones, just two more to come out on Monday
    Seen to pets


    Will have no spend day tomorrow and hopefully have a good week next week :)

    Hope everyone has had a good day!:j
    No you're not a vegetarian if you eat any animal or fish, so do not insult genuine veggies by calling yourself one! :mad:

    Thanks to everyone who posts competitions. You are the stars of the board :T:j:T

    Hi everyone!

    I've had a bit of a swings and roundabouts day; spent £15 buying my friend lunch at Wagamamas but i owed her a dinner and it's still in my budget. Plus i got to catch up with her and 3 other friends- think we were in there about 3 hours in the end, gossiping!:o

    I then went to superdrug as i needed new facial wash and moisturiser... My skins been pretty tempremental so I was looking at all the usual suspects. Then, by chance, as i wandered down another aisle, found their reduced 'clarity' range. For the price of one 'branded' facial wash, i got a face wash, mosturiser, cleansing pads and blotting paper (29p!!). So was pretty pleased with myself.

    Then was faced with the rather bleak prospect of spending the night in; partner's at work, main best friends seeing boyfriends/ visitin parents/ ill/ going out and spending money... so didn't have a choice really and was feeling a bit sorry for myself.:(

    However, I have just been accepted for an A&L current account. I'm getting £45 through topcashback, £100 from them and saving £6 ish a month on overdraft fees!!

    WHOOP!:T

    Now, instead of being depressed about staying in, am going to raid my DVD collection and see what i can sell.

    Tomorrow I'm going to spend £1 going to a pub quiz (and drinking water all night) and might even come away with the winnings! Then i intend to have a NS week at work!! My partner's home most evenings (works in a pub so can be hit and miss) so we'll cook together and hang out and then going home to raid my parents house for my old CDs, DVDs and mobile phones....and see them of course. So my aim is to not spend any money (besides the £1) until next Saturday... and maybe beyond!

    Erm... can you tell I'm still new to this and excessively enthusiastic?!

    :-)

    Hope you all have a lovely evening and weekend.

    Kaz
