I won't need to buy a lot of work clothes as I have plenty of pairs of trousers and dresses that are too smallAll three pairs of jeans that I own are far too big now though. I'm going to wait until the Next sale next weekend and try and buy some from there as I have a gift card somewhere with £18 credit on it :money:

Another voucher received today from SB (Normally takes 2 weeks to arrive) so that takes my current Amazon balance up to £14.62.
The sensible voices are telling me to keep it till Christmas.
The usual voices in my head are telling me that £14.62 is almost exactly half of the cost of Lego Star Wars 3 for the Xbox.
At this point, I'm not sure which voices will win

The other voice that says wait a few more weeks til you can afford it totally with amazon vouchers.....It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
