    I'm having probably the biggest spending day of my life!

    SO far have spent nearly £600, but by the end of the day I should have spend anywhere up to £2000:eek:

    I AM a DFW - but let me explain...

    I'm just starting my new business and am buying my stock - I've got funding from various sources which I'm paying back at a good rate :D

    It's nice to just spend all that money (it's fun stuff too!) and not feel guilty! I've got to start this business to get out the deep hole i'm in. It's the best idea i've had - I have to tell people that you don't have to be rich to start your own biz, there are people out there willing to help!

    I'm so chuffed, it's not long til my launch date - I hope it goes well:think: I'm getting nervous now!

    Good luck with not spending too much - I wish I was spending £2000 on myself though:p

    Good luck with your new venture. Hope everything goes really well foir you.

    Well I was quite good. Didn't buy chocolate, OR magazines. Treated myself to three newspapers(had a voucher for the times so wasn't bad).Spent £1.15 in WHS but used some of my clubcard points so it was free. Went to Aldi and got some spicy parsnip soup I usually make my own but wanted a quick fix.All in all Aldi bill was £9.72 but got LOADS so not too bad. Hpoe everyones well happy abd having a good day.

    I took my HM soup to work for lunch and spent 30p on a nice crusty half baguette to go with it. :D

    well, Just like to add to my previous post, that OH came back with some lovely ornaments from the charity shop for me for our anniversary, and promised me that it cost him under £5.... awwww, isn't he good :)

    ps... I sold a cd on amazon so I actually spent about a £1 today, posting it.
