Yep I made it, I survived Download! It was awesome the ppl were really friendly and the bands bar a few were amazing to watch! As for money I am skinters! I have got money to put in the ISA tho. We had lovely weather with rain on and off until the Sunday where we got heavy rain and it was a mudbath! Came back to the hostel on Mon and I had mud caked in places you wouldnt believe took me ages to get it off! :rotfl:

I also managed to catch the Download lurgy and didnt much at all during the festival but still managed to get hit on by a few guys, one particulary was looking for his pidgeon (I think it was a metaphor for his soulmate!) :cool:

Edinburgh was amazing it has so much history, I defo want to move there and met a few ppl who had moved there and loved it! So I need to make a plan to get there asap. Just put loads of stuff on Ebay and plan to put stuff on this weekend as its the free listing weekend again! :T

Welcome back!! I'm really glad you had a good time. Yuck to the lurgy though . I hope you're feeling better now.

Good luck for your ebay stuff this weekend and formulating your plan. Go for it!!

Ok not much on the money front paid £7.90 into the account, which is beer cup money at Download where you return 10 cups you get a £1, the 90p is money found on the camp

I confess...Ive spent on the credit card!! The Tesco one, well I use it for sending Ebay parcels, I get Clubcard points on it and pay it off when the Paypal money comes through. Except I spent when I went to the Hard Rock Cafe on Tues and today in Tesco. It was like old habits came back so easily. So thats spends coming out of next months savings. I am so cross with myself :mad:. The card is coming out of the purse right now.....

Done!! Better do some extra ebaying this weekend to make up for it! *Bangs head against wall**

There is a saying "old habits die hard" - and they do. But well done to you for noticing the pattern after two events.

You're not going to change overnight - and you probably need to sit down and determine the emotional triggers for your spending.

Everyone slips up every now and then. At least you have seen that you're getting back into an old habit and are stopping it immediately by leaving the credit card at home

It wasnt doing the drinking ppl just left their cups or if they saw you had a collection they gave it to you

I am just annoyed at myself and it was funny how it was the last day when I was short of cash! I wanted so much but resist until the last day!
