tigzem - me and you are in the same boat mate! maybe we should start our own challenge! we keep failing! LOL
the way i see it though is that at least we are spending less money then before, right?***PROUD TO BE DEALING WITH MY DEBT***
Reclaimed my bank charges - got £250 back from HSBC and £88 from First Direct0 -
You're right Winkle - it's the fact that you're thinking about it that counts isn't it?
Tigzem - have you thought about seeing someone about your addiction??:rotfl:
Just got in from work so after my dinner I'm going to spend the night updating my CV - interesting stuff eh?:D

Good evening everyone
Been to work this evening, got £4 and my wages from last week, so I'm happier than earlier
The dog is okay, just resting. Good news though, my grandma is out of hospital! :j

Have done something to my back..no idea how! Anyway, extreme pain and tingly legs made me see the doc yesterday. He's given me very strong pills and relaxants (is that a word???!!) and advised me to stay home for the rest of the week. Wow! Went to bed at 8pm and have only just surfaced - those things are really powerful! Am trying to walk around a bit, but sitting is a disaster - OH had to pull me vertical last evening! The good news is that I won't be spending at all for the rest of the week! Hooray!
Hope you got your inhalers sorted out Nicola and that your dog is ok. Ours has problems with his neck from time to time, but medication seems to put him right for a little longer. (He's 14+ so doing quite well really. Take care everyone.Resolution:
Think twice before spending anything!0 -
Well I was at work 9am til 3pm today, so that was okay
Bought my lunch so i'm not too bothered about that!
and I had to pay £13.70 for my inhalers today
but never mind. Hope everyone has had a good day.

Hi everyone
Hope veryone's had a good day - I've been really busy at work today, then went to my sister's straight from work for dinner - yum!!!! and to play football with my nephews in the back garden:D
It's been another NSD for me today - took lunch to work and then obviously sister fed me for free:j
Sorry to hear about your back Beemuzed - but good news on the no unnecessary spending front eh?
Glad you, your dog and your grandma are feeling better Nicola - that's good to hear :T
The only bad news for me is that I thought I might get paid on Friday but have found out today I've got to wait until Monday - so that's 32 days this month, not 31 :eek:
Hey ho, I'm sure one more day won't hurt:rotfl:
Keep it up everyone, speak tomorrow

Hope you are ok Beemuzed - have you chilled and watched a fave movie? Also helps to have chocolate - soothing pain killing qualities (that's what i keep telling myself!).
Spent £3.60 yesterday on Orange Wednesday movie, but that's it...MFW #185
