Hey folks,
Nanny is back for real now:j
Got new tomy 'tuter so have to raise £200 to pay for the bits DS bought for me.
I've been like a person with an arm cut off or some similar disability for about 2 months now.
My brief and infrequent posts over the last 2 months took quite some doing with old 'puter dying on me.
never mind I have been faithful to the cause and even converted a colleague to save the stickers on Mcd's coffee for me so that when it is my bi-monthly turn for the coffees I get them for free:j
It will take me a while to catch up, but it is so good to be back!!
Poor old Pops has had to talk to me in the evenings and I think he is now very relieved too!!
Only 12 days to holiday & a wedding before that & I've not been able to get on line to ebay!!!
Never mind - £20 John lewis vouchers from pigsback for pressie - hotel via quidco £45 & £10 cashback, holiday paid for by DH (aka pops) how MSE is that?
Just need a new fat lass frock & sorted for wedding and those of you who know me will realise that I will have to buy new knickers as well!!
Take care folks & don't spend!!!!!!!!!!!!0 -

Oh dear I so 'want' too!!!
I want chocolate as well & I want magazines, posh cosmetics, new furniture, new towels new crockery... etc etc...
I know I don't 'NEED' these things, but I so WANT:eek: them. Guess that's why I'm still paying off cc debts:mad:
It's now August and since the lent challenge I've tried so hard not to spend unnecessarily but I am now feeling that 'I work hard I deserve to treat myself thing!!!'
Still struggling with the need/want about the wedding outfit for next week and I know I will buy at the last minute and probably pay over the odds 'cos I find something semi-reasonable that fits!
So I guess I need to be a bit more realistic about allowable spends & budgets 'cos if I was this wouldn't be an emergency and I could have taken my time to buy a 'value for money' outfit.
OK moan over - it's so great to be back:j0
