    Have you considered going but only with £10 in cash on you and no cards? That way you can't overspend because you don't have the money on you to do so. You can instead watch your friend fritter away on things that aren't needed =p

    There's a thread on here somewhere about best places to sell gold/jewellery.

    Congrats on the new engagement ring yay! Can you convince my OH that marriage is a worthwhile thing to do please, he's greatly against the idea and as stubborn as I am.

    Well done on the 3 NSD's. I'm on day 1 again and they're tough for us shopaholics.

    Bet you're relieved about the indulgence evening, what are you going to make for sunday lunch? Oh and stop being lazy, ebay ebay ebay =) hehehe

    ooo brilliant.. i must search that thread out.. i dont know why ive kept them ( i guess i just didnt want to get silly money for them)..

    Im the worst to ask about marriage.. i got married at 20 and it failed at 23 (cheating scum bag) lol.. anyhow it traumatised me slightly.. and now my new partner of 8 years is still waiting bless him..weve been engaged since 2005. Im so settled now , and thankfully ive only had my children with him..we have a lovely home and hes a good man (my best friend) so i must get over it and get up that isle.. we are planning for cardiif castle in 2 years :) once the baby has been born-and is a little older.
    seriously the nsd has felt like 3 weeks lol.. im a terrible spender (its made me realise how bad) its like a comfort to just get something.. and part with the cash.. i actually dont know what to do with myself.
    Need to do something tommorow with my son (oh is working) but im stuck for ideas...

    ive cleared the clutter so have can actually use my table for the lunch lol.. no idea what we will have yet.. guilty pleasure this eve i got 2 ben and jerrys for 4 pound in asda.. choc fudge brownie is calling :)

    Yes i need to ebay!!

    So today the house looks like a tip!! must get onto this today... cant relax in this..

    Homework part 1 done with my son :)

    I got some freebies thru this morning :) 2 small packs of new born pampers and a pack of 10 clipper tea bags.. organic..(result) oh and also a very gorgeous sample of carpet from next for my stairs (costs a fortune) it has a stripe to it..so will look great as a feature.. was nice to have a feel lol.. but will probably have to look for a cheaper option..

    Must cut out the recipes from the freebie asda booklet (they do lovely ones) and i have a fab little cup cake recipe book to put them in...
    still not spent a penny! off to make a latte.. lush :)

    Aim to put on another few ebay items this eve, when little man is in bed.
