I did it cold turkey. Never ever again. It was hell on toast. I think that the first two days of quitting are the reason I didn't go back to it

Beanie - what goodies did you buy?

PS....I'm not idling on Ebay at the moment. Honest.

In M & S got a Per Una cardigan,nice new bras & matching knicks, & a couple of cute wee spotty vest tops & a couple of things for Chrimbo.
In Gap I got some fabby PJ bottoms for only £7 & a matching top, knee length socks as Im always cold & a lovely cardigan.
Had gone back to car & went back for cardigan.

Do you know what did it? I went shopping with a really good friend of mine who is 20. She had paid off all her debts until she bought a car, and is now back in overdraft. She got paid today too and is still overdrawn. Then she spent £80 on clothes for a night out tonight. Madness I tells ya!

That's what made me think it might be an idea to check my wardrobe and adapt accordingly!

There will be pics on Facebook when I get back on Sunday for anyone who's interested

Not been on your thread for a while and I see you have been doing brilliantly. Well done on the debt busting and the weightloss.:beer:

I think I definitely have a few Spendy Elves within earshot, any tips on how to kill the !!!!!!s? Is it like vampires, you need to chop off their heads?

Thank you kindly! How's things with you, and what were you doing out of bed at that time of day on a Saturday?!

You know, there's a big bit of me that would love to have another DFW meet this year - it was lovely to meet up with you and beanie and everyone last year. Shame I've left it so late to think about it

Spendy Elves are hard to tame. My current issue is online shopping - I don't have to go out in the rain and it's nice to get parcels in the post. What I have found is working at the moment is filling my online basket then closing down the webpage. I have no idea why it's working, but I feel better once I've looked at the things I want and not bought them

I am also starting to realise, from the posts I made the other day, that if I really work my little cowprint bottom off I might be debt-free in time for my birthday. I don't have to spend the money and most things I want I will be able to get cheaper in the January Sales anyway. I will be strong!!

Morning Money Post is on its way...

PAD/Spends - £200
Entertainment - £165.27
Groceries - £170
Purse - £18.63
Outstanding loan - £594.21

The outstanding balance on my credit card is harder as the payments are made by debit card so take a few days to show up. I know it is smaller than it was
