    I know, so annoying! It said you can pay them through your own bank so I have added them and made first payment.

    Just downloaded a free diet app which looks good. You can add recipes and it will tell you how healthy they are. You can add exercise as well so will have a play when I can be bothered! Just about to have stew for dinner tonight after returning from gym :)

    hmm so kind of on track!

    ended last week with £9 left in purse but at last minute downloaded an album from itunes :( still i had enough for it so was ok. just transfered the money i spent to the cc and took out £10 less this week to cover it!

    i spent £20 in wilko which was not too bad as inc bathroom scales and a picture for the bathroom. also bought a new cardi in the sale for £6 as my other one is trampy and has a hole! so got about £11 i think to last til fri which should be doable.

    bought all presents for mothers day and nanas bday, they were paid for out of the money i transfer to a seperate account each month for presents. just need to get cash from bro and sis and pay off cc for their share!

    bad news is i bought a £70 pr of trainers yest on a MS! :eek: got £15 reimb for job so they cost £55. they are those reetone ones. bought them as i have decided to walk to work a few times a week (4.5miles) so thought they would be useful :) think i will reduce wekly budget by £10 for 5 weeks to pay for most of it.

    also spent £140 in joules clearance sale yest :eek::eek::eek: bought a dress for me and rest for ebay but decided to keep another two items for me as well. should make back more than £140 so they should be free! :A

    I love Joules, got a great coat in the sale reduced from £79 to £21. Ebaying any extras is a good idea to get you some money back to cover the costs of your purchases!!

    Sounds like your doing well with everything even if there is the odd shopping splurge. Keep up the good work:D

    And you got some undies & tshirts cheap as well ;)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
