    Just thought I would post to admit that I have kind of lost the plot totally on not spending. I haven't been out shopping but I have seen the parcel delivery man every day this week. I need to really knuckle down again and rethink my spending. I bought useful things that we needed like low energy light bulbs and worms for my compost, oh I nearly forgot I bought 2 pairs of jeans for myself too.

    trust me, you CAN live without Harry P. I've managed it throughout the whole sorry affair!

    £3 on lunch for me today, very bad I know, and I do feel shamed but I'm a bit stressed out, to the extent of hair pulling and nail biting ARGH!

    Hi Cafcgirl,
    what's stressing you?
    £3 unnecessary in one week is not bad!

    To be very honest a hat is about the only thing I didn't buy this evening, but I have a plan to get one of those flowery feathery things for my hair before wedding next week:cool: :rotfl:

    Found another black & white dress for another wedding - reduced at debenhams (+ triple nectar points you understand!) then thought I needed new black bra to go underneath it and for some reason known only to the debenhams sales assistants I decided to be measured and have a fitting:confused:
    You tell me - ain't done that since my mum made me do it 30+ years ago.
    Needless to say I bought 2!! and although I can take take them back I still wouldn't know what size to get as one is a 38c and the other a 42 DD:confused::confused::confused:
    Must admit girls they do make a difference!!
    Then a found a section with big girls casual lovely sort of modern hippy type clothing reduced:eek: well I now need to hide the bags from me - let alone pops!!
    But you will be pleased to hear I didn't buy a coffee and I have not bought new knickers!!
    Think I will try them ALL on again and WILL take back the things that I will end up selling on ebay in a years time.
