    I'm starting my challenge tomorrow and am a bit excited :p !!

    I've cleaned out a rabbit hutch to sell, am going to try and get a table at a table top sale for this weekend for 7 pounds to sell what hasn't sold on ebay, I'm trying to get a supplier so I can start selling properly on ebay, I've applied for a new visa card coz can't find mine (lack of use :rotfl: :money: :rotfl: ) so that I can get back in to matched betting and have been reading the MB Olympic thread to ease myself back in to it gently :D

    I'm going to clear my debts before the end of this year :T

    I haven't been writing in it daily since the middle of Jan :p - pls give huge kick up a***!!

    I have had to fork out for things like buildings ins and unexpected gas/electric bill for previous house but have also made unnecessary purchases like clothes/shoes - but nothing that cost more than 10 - and only things that I need - maybe not the silver shoes I bought but they were only 8 pounds :o

    OK - time to knuckle down (again...) then I suppose :p

    It doesn't matter what they cost each, how many did you buy?

    I've lost loads of weight due to stress n have gone from a size 16/18 to a 10/12 so none of my clothes fit me at all and I only had one pair of shoes for work. So I've been buying the cheapest I poss can and have had some handmedowns from friends. I've bought 3 pairs of jeans, 2 skirts, 3 tops, 2 pairs of shoes and a pair of boots (fiver from market). I've also had 3 pairs of trousers and a top from charity shops for work but I do need more tops so was thinking of going to have a look to day. I think I need to give myself a few years of no spend days first before I can even contemplate going charity shop shopping!!

    PS - thx for the kick!!!!!

    Are you eating sensibly? It might not be much - but is it sensible?
