    You should be feeling sorry for the bf. In annoying and irritating our beautiful and esteemed leader, he's just showing himself up as have less sense than a vampire pumpkin.

    Hi
    Shirleypark- chew chewing gum when you are in the shops you are less likely to buy anything sweet. That is how I have been resisting the sweetie shops. Now I am getting good at walking past them.

    Kaz- DH has definately been done I agree with the clippers, maybe do his nostrils at the same time!!!!

    Still not spent anything, in fact gained 20p at the gym. People leave their 20p in the lockers so I am plus 20p.
    I am full of joy, abundance, wealth and love.
    I am a money magnet. Money comes easily and frequently.

    Well you all seemed to have a busy evening and I missed you.
    I so very nearly spent money as I had a work meeting at 6.30 and hung around from 5.30 so thought I'd have a coffee then the talking hair came into my head and NO!
    I did my mileage claim sat in the car instead so another NSD!!
    Have a good day everyone

    slowlyfading - ((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))

    CAFC - Luv the rhyme - how true - I got rid of a p*llock just before Xmas in a very messy break up (wish I'd heard of the ollock cream back then coz it would have come in soooooo handy lol). I feel much more in control now and looking back realise how depressed and sad I'd become. I've remembered life's about enjoying yourself again now!!

    Shirley Park - I find the best way to resist temptation is to only take the money that I've budgeted for with me and leave all cards safely in the bedside drawer.

    Hope every1 has a gr8 day!!

    Luv Jxx

    Good Morning All!

    Well think it might be a spend today for me ............
    I've got no bread and nothing in a tin I can take into work... How rubbish!!!

    Jet- That made me feel a lot better really, just to hear about the light at the end of it all. It's just calling it which seems to be the hardest thing. I know I'll survive but it's just so damn difficult to say the words.

    Ah well not to bore you guys with it!
    I'm gonna have to market this ollox cream though!!!
    I think I'm onto a winner with that one!

    As for the expensive latte. Make em yourself! Anyone want any tips, PM me. I am a coffee god!

    Not to blow my own trumpet OBVIOUSLY! lol

    Hmm, I would cut DH's hair but I did it once and he nearly cried. The trouble is [STRIKE]he's thinning[/STRIKE] has a large crown. It makes it hard to do (so he says). He doesn't have it all clippered now, he used to be a grade 8 on top and grade 2 at the back but now DS has that hairstyle!
    I must admit though I am poo with the clippers- If DS needs a hair cut then I will just take a chunk out of it one afternoon when we're not going out so that DH comes home, freaks and does it properly! I find it hard to cut someones hair when they are climbing up the walls! Like father like son heh?

    I have 3 £2 vouchers off > £8 spend on toiletries for Mr T. Original source is bogof- I wonder if they will scan together? May try later as I have to go to town. (Taking the hair for a walk!)

  • Went to the post office today (again) and didn't even think about getting anything else, maybe not eating my lunch before I go was a good idea as I knew I had food to come back to. Then again, I needed a NSD today to make up for last nights late night Tesco raid. Will update when I get home and dig out the receipt.

    I think I am going to just have 50p in my purse unless I know that I'm going to need to spend money, then atleast I can't spend too much. To be honest, I need to stop comfort eating, that would help.
