    Good Luck with spends today everyone....

    Mrs MH if you want to chat you know we're all here for you, and I really hope you feel brighter soon...

    I'm off to work in a few minutes if only I could tear myself away from MSE. Looks like nice weather outside so should be a good day. Plenty to do at the shop so busy busy busy....

    I'm planning a very low spend today as I've got very little cash left till friday, just as well I'm off for two days! Got some cereal at work, so that'll be lunch today I think. I can use the work milk :)

    Woohoo well done C!

    Are you gonna think about it seriously? Its a great opportunity!
    I'm dead jealous!

    Anyway thread has been rather quiet which could mean two things............
    1- You've all cancelled your internet connections to save money
    or
    2-You're all too busy spending money!!!

    ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH on both of those lol

    I'm day off today although I'm heading out late afternoon because I'm doing a pamper evening with a local primary school for work so I have to leave to go collect those bits, and wont finish till gone 10pm. I'm hoping I can get a lot of sales from it back into the store, scmooze for me this evening!!!

    But got the rest of the day to myself, bright blue skies outside so when I've got dressed (bad I know its 10am!!) I'll get the never ending washing on and get that hung out and enjoy the sunshine!!

    Hi CFC, I'm still counting £1.80 as unnecessary spend - bought two packs of butter last night and chewing gum - essential I think.

    I'm very proud of myself, I was sooooo tempted to go to Boots and get some of the miracle cream but I walked straight past - the resistance that took!

    Am hoping to get to end of week without spending anymore money.
