    so sold shoes for £25
    charm sold for £37
    CD sold for £4

    yey :)

    had a spendy weekend buying stuff in preparation for the decorating, spent about £60 on two spice racks filled with spices (unfortunately the same spices!), wine rack, picture, pillows, sealant, filler etc... that should all be covered by the additional money i made from MS last month. also need to buy a large ladder to decorate stairs and use for loft which will be about £70 i think.

    got £4 left from weekly spends so should be some for piggies on monday night :)

    Wow you are doing really well with the MS well done! And nice one on paying back your dad so much. That is ace. You have paid off 4k in quite a short amount of time, so that is awesome. Just imagine how much fun it will be to save as much as your paying off debt!
