i know its self indulgent but i am giving myself a pat on the back!
today i managed to walk through the middle of leeds biggest shopping centres (on the way to the car following a pre-paid panto trip ) i walked past all the lovely looking sales that were enticing me in and what did i do.............nothing! i didnt go in and spent not one penny!!
i am new to this money saving business and prior to mse there is no way would this have happened. i havent yet done a soa but intend to soon i started lurking on these forums with aim of not spending quite so much but i think i am becoming addicted!!

Well done - it's a great feeling when you resist temptation isn't it? It's a daily battle for me but each time I succeed it gives me a bit more strength to carry on."The path of my life is strewn with cowpats from the Devil's own satanic herd!" Blackadder0
