Love it!
Now, if I do it when watching people paying for stuff in m&s is that MSE/DFW savvy, or theft?

I have to bow down to your shopping budget squeezing skills Woo! I went to Tesco last night to get a 'few bits' and came out £45 worse off
, I need to get into this meal planning lark me thinks!
Ooh I am a bad girl......just noticed OH has emptied all his change out onto the dining table and all I can think is GRAB THE SILVERS! :rotfl:
I think I was so scared it would be over my £60 budget and I would have to leave some on the checkout that I just didn't really buy very much.
Last week a womens card declined on the checkout next to me and she had to leave her entire shop, to add to her embarressment she was escorted to customer services so they could retrive her car keys for her, you have to use a pound or a token for the trolley and she had her keys attached to the token in the trolley. I did really feel for her.LBM Aug 09: £18,650.47 - Current: £12,854.93 (£5946.79)

Just thought i pop in and say hi, to prove i do actually read other peoples diaries.
I feel a bit of a fraud though, as i have seemingly taken the ' easy ' way out, from debt, that is.

Thanks for popping in NH.
I don't think you are a fraud and in no way is what your going through easy. I don't believe anyone on here would feel that way about your situation xxLBM Aug 09: £18,650.47 - Current: £12,854.93 (£5946.79)

Well, the way I see it is....if you 'acidentally' bump into them and they drop their change which you snatch of the floor, surely it's case of 'finders keepers'!? :rotfl:
Morning ladies, I was well prepared to not rise from my bed until gone mid day but OH had other ideas and is now in the spare room playing tunes (in case I haven't mentioend it before he is a hobby DJ and has been for about 10/11 yeras now...our second bedroom is full of records, mixers and turntables).

I think he played out in a pub a couple of times before we got together but he has no interest in doing it as a profession at all. We are in to very niche music and there isn't a lot of call for it in clubs or whatever and he says he only wants to play the stuff he likes to play, he couldn't bring himself to do chart stuff and weddings etc.
He is very good though and there are a lot of people who download his mixes on the internet

No hope - just read through your history and don't think you are a fraud at all. We are all here for our own reasons - some good some bad but all valid. I hope things get easier for you very soon.
Jtr - what sort of niche? Would love to have a listen!!!
Woowoo - what are you up to today?0 -
