  • Enjoy the cinema :-) We went to see the new Batman film the other night, first time we had been for ages. It was great, but a tad too long.

    The pizza and wine sound nice. Happy Belated Birthday x

  • Thanks Enchanted.

    I thought the same about the Batman film, I ended up with the most numb bum ever!

    My birthday was back in May but I ended up with about 8 bottles of wine. I don't need AA meetings ... promise:rotfl:

    hey cashstrapped - though I would poke my head in,

    your not alone - i also ended up in debt by giving myself - treats! ha treats i couldnt afford! I also started a diary and then gave up but when you know your ready yoru ready.

    have a look at the Payment a Day thread its really great - basicallu you pay something to a debt every day you can - even if its just £1 - soon adds up and is great motivation to see the total coming downa nd thinking how much extra its costing the banks to process all the extra payments :)

    Very impressed I had a no spend weekend it was very hard but I managed it :)

    Not going to have one today though as my petrol light has just come on:mad: I really begrudge filling up! However only going to put £10 in as i'm hoping to aquire a 10p off per litre voucher so I can fill up when I get paid.

    Counting down the days til the 24th when I can pay off another chunk of debt :T
  • NSD is out of the window however the 'rents gave me a 10p off voucher and I found a £2 clubcard voucher in my old purse. So I ended up filling saving £5.70 on my tank of petrol :)
