me too. i'm struggling with myself today. really want a new pair of jeans. do i need them? not really as i've got about 5 pairs at home but they don't fit/look good. will i get good use from them? hell yeah, we wear what we want to work so i live in jeans.
i really can't find any excuse to justify me buying them ...
is it cheating if i treat myself when i get my reclaimed bank charges back? the charges "owed" is £2,600, I'm estimating I'll get back half. Will put £1000 straight on my card and then £300 to clear joint account OD. can put a bit aside and buy my jeans???Total debt as of May 2007: Tesco [STRIKE]£8499.65[/STRIKE] £7,333.57;
Total Savings as of March 2007: Egg Money [STRIKE]£59.97[/STRIKE]£64.97; Wedding Fund [STRIKE]£700[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]£1172[/STRIKE] £1900
The Unneccessary Challenge £0/£10
Snowballing [STRIKE]£8499.65[/STRIKE] £7333.57. Debt Free Date [STRIKE]November '09 [/STRIKE] [STRIKE]September '09 [/STRIKE] May '09- gonna try my hardest to make it sooner

If you're reclaiming 2600 why do you think you'll only get half?
It's your money remember!!!
If you did however, I'm sure we could ignore a wee pair of jeans spending, but shhhhhhhhhhhhhh dont let the rest of the forum know!
I had a brief moment of woohoo lets get organised. Had a bath, have sinced cleaned the bath, done one bout of washing up, got the rubbish together, and one load of washing on....
