    I'm better at no cash, as I then sort of think oh it's out of my account now I can spend it. But we all need to work out what is best for ourselves. I saw your thread I stay away from town! :)

    :D

    We'll let you off with one chocolate bar ;)

    Oh fab! Eat like royalty for cheap as chips! Love doing that :) Me and partner are always commenting on the fab food we've cooked (coz we're just that good obviously :p lol), that we'd be happy if we got it at a restaurant, and that it only cost us a couple of £ to make it!

    I know the feeling and now when I'm at a restuarant half the time I think I could have done better myself!!

    Plus also last night my new radley bag and purse (birthday present from relatives) arrived! I've had my last one for three and half years so my new one is extra nice. :)

    I know bit of a joke but it looks pretty.

    I did start to think of the debts I could pay off but then I thought of how long cheap bags last and how long my last bag lasted. Cost per wear!! :)

    some things you have to spend more money on, ie my cooler bag for my lunch yes I could of spent less than £5 but then it would have fallen apart after a few days and yes I could take it in a carrier bag but it won't look good to work and it's more awkward to carry on a tube. I think that some spending is good as long as it's in the right places.
