    Oh it's just a one off? That's not too horrendous then. I had it in my head that it was a permanent increase!

    No, it's to compensate for the fact that they forgot to update my records last year, it's not permanent, it's just an extra chunk of tax to make up for that - but there's only 3 months of it at least...

    Oh stupid tax office. It's their fault!!

    Does that rule out all shopping for the month?

    Join my budget gang :)

    I'm kinda doing it the wrong way round - I should probably allocate money to shoes, then pick a pair, shouldn't I?

    :O Just almost had a heart attack, blogger just told me I had no blogs in my reading list! Is that quite sad lol!(logged out then in again and it fixed itself!)

    Char that sucks about the tax, I always seem to get extra tax taken off me because they never get my tax number correct. Wish they would give me a rebate for once!

    It was doing that to me yesterday! I had a moment of sheer panic about the prospect of trying to find all the blogs I like again but then it reappeared and problem solved :)

    haha, no alex - i usually figure out what i *want* to afford, then that gets taken off the rest, which is then stretched over bills / living ex's! lol

    I'd like to solve the shoe issue reasonably cheaply but I am struggling. I like shoe shopping so why is this turning into a drama? :(
