    Well I am very pleased! I have put in my share money and a couple of other bits and bobs (end of Nov money etc) and I now have brought it down to £99.3k!!
    Being under the 100k mark feels fantastic!

    Well done!!!:T

    Thanks all. Hope you all getting on ok? Jan sales tempted me and got a new outfit for tonight. However new jeans, top and sparkly boots set me back £35 ... Not too bad for a total outfit! Also stocked up in boots as their gift sets are all half price. Think I have enuf smellies to last a year!!

    Ditto :o

    Still, over 1/2 the week is gone now, on the downward slope to the weekend :D.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Its Friday tomo!
    In London today so prob not gonna be that cheap (a very early start means I need to eat all day!)
    Expensive weekend ahead too with a hair appointment (at home so a bit cheaper) and fake eyelashes going on. Now I know I don't need them but I've got the Jan blues so need something to cheer me up. My friend is doing them for me so hopefully will work out quite reasonable!! Its tomo night too so will prob just even out the cost of not spending money on alcohol

    Altho with new hair and eyelashes, should I go out Sat nite...??!!
