Morning ladies...........
I had the nicest day yesterday. DH had stashed some money, gave me £40 and told me it had to be spent within 5 hours. LOL I went to GAP and got some great bargains..........white jeans for the summer at £4.99, a dress for £4.99, a shirt for £3.99 and two scarfs (reduced from £25 to £2.99!). He then collected me and took us to our fav cafe/diner for dinner last night as a surprise. It was lovely (in the old days we popped round there at a whim...............no longer) It was devine! And I refuse to feel guilty (had to fight with myself to say that could have gone to Virgin. But it was the loveliest day to end our holidays and I will hold the memories dear.
Isn't funny how trips out now feel like a big deal when before I would have spent hundreds on cc and not even have thought about it and got no little glow either.
Boots/calves/money = no boots til next year! (and my only pair started to let in water yesterday - ggggrrrr, but sure it's nearly spring)LBM Feb 2010 £62,700 Total Debt Jan 11 [STRIKE]£49,403.84[/STRIKE] £47,530.32.

Result - just got £12 back from Ricardo!!
He charged me £12 for underpayment of 73p after not sending me a statement so I called him on Neckar and said 'come on ahead Ricardo, and he said Reddie I hear you are saying bad things about me and please please please don't pay your card off this year, I have a big wedding pressie to buy on 29th April and I need your interest. Ricardo, I said, we are so at the end of this friendship and soon you will never hear from me again!LBM Feb 2010 £62,700 Total Debt Jan 11 [STRIKE]£49,403.84[/STRIKE] £47,530.32.
