    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 personally am glad it's got a bit quieter. I'm still not spending unnecessary money (well, not much... :whistle: ) but I am so busy at the moment with work and garden that I only just have time to read the posts..... but I'm still here!

    It's the Protect and Perfect from Boots. I knew they had stock in this morning and I was in early so the terrible, sinful thought crossed my mind that I could buy some. But then I remembered that is probably how I got into this mess in the first place!

    Am going to save up my unnecessary fund and deduct the cream from that if I have been good by the end of June - see I have got a treat lined up :D

    I've still only spent £1.80 so far this week on unnecessary, I'm sure the cash machine must be missing me by now:rolleyes:

    That sounds like a very very good plan BlackA...

    Seriously people is this cream actually the bee knees? Im intrigued....... Is it expensive?

    The idea of saving though is fab.........

    Got some fantastic news earlier on today. Wont happen for a few weeks but still!
    My darling Mum (now she is the bee knees!) has very kindly agreed to give me an interest free loan to clear all my debts... and then will pay her back as I would a normal creditor!!! And reduce my payments by £30 per month

    WOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!
    Will knock 2 months (minimum) off my Debt free date and save me £700 in interest!!!

    Thanks Mum!
    And if I do go back into sharing, I'll be able to increase my payments to my mum and could be clear by Sept 2008 in that case!!!

    So that was really good news, but as I say wont happen for a few weeks. Since she's on a mission to get best savings account going organised. But still!

    Now really have to go and start making myself look approachable, professional and warm and friendly for all the lovely mums this evening!

    It's £16. I know because I bought some in my Boots madness last week... :o Just keep reminding myself it ended up a profitable day! Also got some fantastic green eye shadow :T and some other stuff

    Just saw Stereophonics presale tickets on one of the other boards. I've not bought any :( I'd love to go, but I'm already going places this year and really shouldn't. Plus, as usual they're playing nowhere near me so it'd hike up the cost massively. Still boo tho.

    I will be buying my lunch tomorrow, as I've not spent any money this week and I really can't be bothered to make anything now. Plus I don't think I've got much in. Maybe I'll take some cereal!

    I'm so tired..........

    Not only that but it was a total waste of my time...

    All the wanted was the wine! I could have taken some wine and made about £40! I got two orders and that amounts to about £20, how totally rubbish and now im starving hungry and have no energy to make myself anything!

    Im so annoyed! Was told 50-70 people. It was the same 20 people all night!

    Oh well........ these things happen!

    I'm off to bed!

    sorry to hear that CAFC, hope you get a good nights sleep!

    Think protect and perfect is amazing stuff, i use it everyday and you hardly need any at all it lasts for years!! not wishing to be the devil on your shoulder BA but it is good value for money, look out for the free gifts on sale for about £2.00 a while after the offer has ended. they usually do a mini trial tube in there and thats what i've been living off for ages, get lots of other yummy stuff to!
    debt @05/11/11 £12210.63!! slowly chipping away!!

    I've not been on here much as I am still not spending even my weekly £10 but just wanted to share my news. We have been offered a FREE holiday in September by a friend. Its in UK and will just cost us petrol to get there and food.a084.gif

    We spent our holiday savings months ago on car repairs so this is a perfect boost for me as I really felt the need to get away even for a couple of days.
