Hello Scuff,
Found your diary and I love it! Keep up the good work. I can't believe you've been cleaning and doing things in the middle of the night! Good for you. Now when I wake up at 2am or whatever ungodly time I wake up at night, I'm probably going to feel guilted into cleaning my kitchen.... well here's hoping anyway!
I hope shopping in Meadowhall went ok, and you managed to not spend too much. I hope you're not too tired now either after your hectic night!0 -
Right, I'm all werewolfed up and all I had to buy was some 10p teeth! I'm more ready for sleeping than drinking but hopefully will wake up after a few drinks. Wish I could have hair like this every day!!!
Meadowhall was goodmight have treated myself to some beaut wedges, only £28 though and I did see them two weeks ago and fell in love. So I'm letting myself have this one treat based on how good I've been to press! Momma also treated me to a new winter coat, I thought it was for Christmas but after she'd bought it and I told her to take it for a nit cos it was too early to have early Christmas presents, she said I could just have it and it was a treat! So I no longer have to traipse around in a threadbare number (although I love my old coat, the linigs on the sleeves are hardly even attatched any more!) Apologies for rambling, don't really know what I set out to say.
Oh, and OH is dressed as a witch. A lady witch. It's awesome, made my week :rotfl:September 2016 GC £21.37/£1200 -

hello all :wave:
party was ok, I had more fun backcombing my hair than partying, and was home and tucked up fast asleep by 1am - OH even had to facewipe my face off for me as I was so so lazy / tired. I just lay there like a kiddie :rotfl:
Budgeted myself £20 and came home with £2.26! I can't decide whether this is good or a complete crazy waste of money, especially seen as we were in walking distance so there were no taxis or anything, pure £17.74 on drink! Okay okay, drink and a hot dog, so £15.24 on drink (Just thought I must have had some extra change in my purse, drinks don't cost bizarre numbers like that!!?)
Anyway today's been a write off - I'm getting too old for this, although we did go to OH's parents for sunday lunch - lamb yum yum - which was goodOther than that I've done nothing but watch Merlin... Oh and get my hair back to normal, which took the best part of an hour!
Off to bed now, hoping for a v low spend week this week, also my manager is back tomorrow so hopefully should get my £300 vouchers :beer: means I can start my Christmas shopping!! Think you're right GL, starting at this time of the year with all the MSE malark is made a LOT harder by the thought of Christmas, I am really lucky this year, don't know if I'd be able to do it MSE if I didnt have the vouchers!! Also decide for next year I'm gonna save throughout the year, so it's not a sudden struggle come November / December! Change has been put in relevant pots, (not very often these days I have change to put in them!!) and I'm gonna bumble off to bed - leaving for work at 6:45am tomorrow... JOY OF JOYS. Night!September 2016 GC £21.37/£1200 -
Hope you got your vouchers today- spend them wisely!
Previously, my Christmas shopping would be 'one gift, then one for me' - not anymore though, I am gonna be strict.
Also have made the decision not to get involved with Secret Santas at work- costs money plus causes stress trying o decide what to buy. Am I turning into Scrooge???

Well hello lovely vouchersWe've already spent £30 (+£5.99 cash) on a MASSIVE slow cooker that I can practically get inside myself. I have a list for Christmas presents which pretty much all come out of them, and I even think there'll be some spare to treat a very well behaved Scuff
. We shall see though, Christmas out of the way first!
Other than the excitement of free money, I have nothing to report. Ooh except as I was driving to work this morning my chugg made a rather large BANG and then started drvinng all funny. I've been worrying about my clutch for ages, so presumed it was something to do with that, mentioned it to one of the guys at work and he offered to have a look at it for me. Turned out I had a massive screw in my tyre!!! So he kindly changed it for me, whilst I acted like a massive useless girlI'm supposed to be an engineer!!! Dunno if I should give him something as a thank you?? and if the answer's yes, what??! Super grateful though, and glad it wasn't something serious too!!!
