LOL Starnac, it'd look amazeballs with the gold sparkly Ugg boots!
Ooooh I'd like that tax info too Starnac if you find it! Actually just looking online for some new work clothes, wearing the same 5 crummy outfits has gotten very old very fast! I need lots of nice new clothes for not a lot of money... hmmm, is that a pig flying past the window?!

i wear my own clothes to work and there is a form you can fill in and send to the tax people to get some sort of relief for washing/having to buy more clothes than you normally would. i'll look it up and let you know
Ooh, thanks! Wasn't expecting that, see where whinging gets you?!wendz she is adorable. first pic i've seen of her too. love that coat. wonder if they make them in my size???
They do, I was one of our students wearing something even bigger and fluffier than that the other day - no idea where she'd got it, and it porbably cost a fortune. They're all kitted out resplendently at Loan Time!Weightloss: 14.5/65lb0 -

What window?
Can I get some kind of 'daylight rebate' while I'm at it to make over the past four years that I've worked in a cupboard? I feel like Andi Peters Weightloss: 14.5/65lb0 -

I'm a bit late to the party, but I'm amazed by what you've achieved and what you are going to achieve.
I have managed to clear a lot of debt, but still have more. I need my BF to be as open with money as your husband is.
I'll have a read of your other diaries and take notes
Thank you and hi! The first diary is the best for hints and tips, I actually got the debt going in the right direction at quite a pace in that one. Does your BF just not understand money, or does he have an ostrich attitude to it?Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008

I don't recall ears, but there are plenty of hats with ears about, I've had to restrain myself a few times

Next have lots of very fluffy things in at the moment. I was doing a MS there this morning and I was very very good and pried myself off a fluffy soft jumper in the sleepwear section which would have stopped me stealing NIMs, as it was £20 not the £10 I got the reimbursement for. Was very sensible and got much needed socks instead.Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008

Years ago at a festival I bought myself a very chunky knit pink coat with hood. Everyone laughed. But I love it and still have it. Hasn't had an outing this year as it would struggle to do up but hopefully after Christmas Goals for FebruaryDeclutter 2/50Money Made £0/£200Overpayments £0/£2000 -
I'm still umming and ahhing over my red duffle coat - tried it on again yesterday and can't decide whether I need something a bit more sophisticated. Trying to remember the last time I did anything sophisticated....Weightloss: 14.5/65lb0
