oh no stitchy, what will you do? Can you sell anything (any corsets?) or do you have everything you need to survive the month? x

Would you like to order a corset DNMS?

There are still about £300 of bills to pay - my bike insurance, 3x credit cards and a small loan repayment. Foodwise, we have enough to last the month and all other bills have been paid. I've just remembered I have £200 in my ISA so I can wipe that out.

Looks like a boot fair on Sunday and then Ebay all of DH's *stuff* that he collects.

:osorry all my "pocket money" this month has gone - I hope those black work trousers & bra & knickers set will be worth 18 days of no money

But seriously I really feel for you. Financially things are better now for me than they ever have been (a combination of debt almost gone & payrises over the last 18mths) but I remember that sinking feeling in my stomach when I realised I had almost nothing left for a whole month a couple of days after payday, and then the inevitable anxiety that comes with it. Stay strong there's plenty that can be done for free and always when the next month came I had a feeling of jubilation that I had survived when 30 days previously I thought all was lost x

buy anniversary present for DH

Our anniversary is on 16.02, oh's birthday is on 15.02 & obviously its valentine's day the day before that. So this year born out of poverty *we* (I say we but really it was me that was the driving force , he would always let his generosity over ride his budget) decided to set a linit of £5 max for anniversary & valentine's. I made a card from a picture of the two of us when we went to the beach when we were first courting, really lovely picture & really fond memories, I printed off two countryside walks in our local area (we like walking ) & I wrote a list of 100 things I love about him. All free but it felt really speacial. hth x

that's lovely. i did something similar a couple of years ago. i worte down things that i loved about him on seperate colourful pieces of paper then scrunched them up and put them in a jar. whenever he was feeling down he could take a "happy pill" out of the jar to read it. he's still got it after all these years.

being welsh we don't actually celebrate valentines day in february we celebrate it in january which is the welsh valentines day. might be an idea for you to split all the celebrations you have in feb!! :rotfl:
