    Feeling fed up always makes me spend money I don't have..sighh.

    At least it was only in Primark, so it could have been worse! :o

    Very much looking forward to the weekend. I am SO tired.

    As my finances are going to be stuck in this mess for a good while longer, I'd better come up with a plan. I think my income just about covers my outgoings, as long as I don't buy lunches at work, go out (I don't really do that anyway) or go shopping.

    Sounds easy enough... :eek:

    So true. Yesterday our front door lock broke. £75 for a locksmith later... :eek: And still I need to go and get three new keys cut.

    I also need to pay for DD's dancing show (£10 for tickets, £12 for costumes), and my winter boots now have a hole in the bottom and a broken buckle. I reckon I can just pretend it's not winter any more though, as long as it doesn't snow too much. :o

    By the time I've paid for transport and accommodation for our next trip to Yorkshire, I will have used up all the extra money I got this month as a refund. :o

    At least that means I haven't had to find it all elsewhere though!
