Littlekitty - I used to have your opinion, the what if the cashier looks at me gone out scare thing, well I have come to the realisation that she looks at that many receipts each day, she doesn't have time to think anything If she asks anything a polite, Oh I thought I wanted two but i've decided against it and just want to keep one now sort of thing.

LK - I am the queen of returning things now, Angela crowned me that the other week You will get there, just attach the receipts to the garments and if theren not worn in 28days, they aint gonna b
Good luck! x


On another note, ive just set my bank account up to put my wages into lots of different little savings pots The savings range from a car to new glasses along with little pots ready for things to come out, very proud of myself that ive chosen to save roughly £600 per month and live on just £70 spares a week, and hopefullly even less than that

Hi all,

NGlady, nice to hear an update from you Things certainly sound like they're on the up for you! Bless the guy for going to get the clutch for you... hehe, you have trained him well. Also glad to hear you're enjoying your new job. I can imagine it must be a shock to the system to be working full time but I'm sure you'll get used to it.

Anglea - the top is navy and white stripes. It will match my red suede flats (bought from Barratts, intended to return them but forgot. Still, they are lovely even if a little impractical )

Just another post I am being very good tonight, I am scaling down my "throw everything into" bathroom cupboard I am throwing stuff away and generally tidying up Very pleased with myself lol, also I know itll raise literally pennies Ebaying all the nail varnishes I don't use. Then tomorrow, I shall start the same with shoes and so on, one task at a time Putting all the money I raise into my money tin to go for my dress for the christening I have made a rule, I am only allowed to spend the money I raise either with selling stuff or being very careful with the pennies on this dress, if I manage to scrape £30 thats all im allowed if £90 thats all im allowed Even though I will be able to more than afford to buy the dress out of my bank account I still want that feeling of achievement I used to get when off work with my money
