This is going to sound really mean, but I really don't mean to offend anyone. Sometimes I'm glad for those days when I've no accessible money, it allows me to get other things done - tidy my room, go out and exercise, just talk to friends for a bit, work on coursework. I'm really bad when it comes to getting organised (strange though that may be) and not having money gives me that drive to do something instead of just mopping around - I see it as preparing myself for having the money to spend.
Of course some days I just curl up and go to sleep, or drool over the tech websites wishing.Know me for who I am, not for who I say I am.0 -

Hi
This weekend I have not wanted to spend any money so I have caught up on housework. I cleaned out my food cuboards and took stock of everything I have and thrown out anything out of date. I have done cooking with the kids and just generally chilled out and I feel better for it.credit card balances March 2008 £5159.11Time to pick myself up and start again.0 -
