No I didn't buy the Wallies transfers.

I did however buy a couple of hideous items from EBay with my Christmas money along with the Butterfly prints I had intended so effectively I wasted some money - doubt I will recoup on eBay but will have ago.

Also I had one Charity shop day.

In February I am going to allow myself another one as I am finding the withdrawal quite hard!

im sorry sweetheart its just what i read on the wall.. do you want me to remove you from the wall of shame? ...i had some many to read lol

Confession time: today bought a mini stepper to collect at Sainsburys. justification being it will help me exercise while the weather is crappy and will put me off spending £30+ on gym membership (asd if more encouragement were needed!) BUT I am going through musicmagpie/turnintocash sites to sell of some old CDs and DVDs to make up for it

Don't worry I can stay there for my charity shop spends.

If I remember rightly someone asked me what I had resisted buying as I was going to buy them.

That would be me, I was more intrigued to know what you hadn't bought, than what you had bought. :rotfl:

Obviously I'm a spy, and I'm only here to wheedle out information

Spookybuffy, loving the wall of shame, might help me in Feb lol

I need to confess to a bit more... £44.84 on clothes but mostly for when I am working again but could say I didn't need them at this time... and £25.60 on some Caudalie day perfecting fluid, I had a sample of this and loved it and had a weak moment *shame*.

I think the rest of my spends can be classed as reasonably ok being £25 towards new glasses (prescription changed) and my grocery spend has come in really low for me £53.23 as I made a huge effort there not to buy! £5 top up on my Oyster but have walked everywhere instead of public transport or the car so got it in case, had to pay a vets bill (very essential) £118 and bought a frying pan for £9.75 and a couple of eco cleaning items, but did need them.. not sure where beauty appts come in but I did go for waxing so another £55.

The rest of my money went on my usual and planned household direct debits and I've been cutting my electric use where poss.

It's more difficult than I thought. The things that have helped have been unsubscribing from companies emails as they come in, just not going to the shops and not ordering things online and also I am in the process of going through my wardrobe to see what I really have and use.

Feb's figures WILL be lower

Aargh! So close!

I'm afraid to report that I have to go on the :money: :money: Wall of shame Jan 2012
Shame on you!!!!!!! :money: :money:

Today (31st Jan) I made a purchase at the charity shop. A carrier bag of books for $2.00, plus a book for my daughter which cost $1.00, so that's a $3.00 transaction which equates to about 1.87 pounds sterling

My daughter asked me to go get the one she had seen and to get it if it was still there, which I did, and it was, so I got it for her but not before I weakened and succumbed to a bargain.

It was a want rather than a need and as such should go on The Wall

I hate buyer's remorse!
