    I did Thank you!
    Took my Gran's shopping into her and my Brother, Sister in Law and Niece were there and my niece has started crawling!! It is the cutest thing ever, she is a bit lazy unless she sees a TV remote control or a mobile phone! She likes to drool all over them and that is why she will not get her hands on my iPhone!! :D

  • Hi everyone
    Friday at last!! :)
    I have been very bad money wise today and spent £199 on a netbook :eek:
    I have been looking at them for ages and have been swithering about getting one and PC world had THIS on special offer and I thought it was too good to pass up :D
    My Pink Friend now has something on it again but it shouldn't take too long to pay off again and hopefully no interest!

    Nothing else to report really

    Today's spends
    £199 Dell netbook
    £23 PC security
    Total £222

    Have a great weekend everyone

  • Hi everyone
    I have had a very lovely day :D
    Went to WW this morning lost half of the 1.5lb I put on again last week and that was with eating malteaser chocolate muffin my dad gave me! :eek:
    I then went and filled my car up(Mum gave me the 5p off per litre voucher :D ) then headed home and saw my brother and niece for a short while before heading off for lunch with some friends.
    After lunch I popped into HMV as I needed a new screen protector for my phone and bought a couple of CD's as well. Saw them on sale and Rocky Horror and only ever had the tape of The Lost Boys and wore it out years ago and its my ultimate favourite film of all time!! :j
    Went home after that and am now sitting babysitting :)

    Today's spends
    £29.30 Fuel
    £17 Lunch
    £5.99 Phone screen protector
    £5 Rocky Horror Soundtrack
    £7 The Lost Boys Soundtrack

    Total £64.29

    Off out to meet Flying Fresian tomorrow for a catch up (and a cup cake!) :D

    I hope you all enjoy your Sunday

    oops to the spending, but I am sure you are thinking of ways to make the spend money neutral as we speak!

    Hi Chevalier
    I know but the netbook is handy for slipping in a bag and it is little and cute!
    More ebaying may be in order if I can find more things to flog!!
    I am babysitting tonight and have a couple more lined up before the end of the month so should be OK for paying it off I hope :)
