    HI

    went shopping today - managed to get quite few bargains and used advantage card points in boots but had a brain freeze and PAID for some of the stuff and forgot about the £20 pigsback vouchers in my purse - how stupid! Managed to get some cheap okish clothes and I hope I didn't spend too much- I kept within budget I think - will tot up and see I think.

    On the positive side, you still have vouchers to use for next time - a cheap shopping trip to look forward to!

    Hi all,

    As I said one the other thread - I went to my friend's wedding, had a marvellous time (and actually don't have much of a hangover as I didn't drink *that* much!). It was fantastic. Just amazing - the bride (old uni friend) looked stunning - a complete picture bride (unlike when I got married - yes, I looked nice but then got completely hammered, as did the rest of our guests lol!)

    however, I spent quite a bit - about £116 on hotel room for me and kids, wedding pressie, drinks etc. This is a LOT less than I thought i would and I'm going to work extra hard to pay this off now as well. Or rather earn it back as it was in savings anyway! :)

    Ebay is going really well tonight - some crazy bidders bidding high for some stuff, although other bits are going unsold. :( and :)
