Well done for resisting.
I would have cried if I had to spend that kind of money on a bag :eek: Then again I must look like a different kind of 'bag lady' :rotfl:.

Wow! Lots of catching up to do!
You've had a few rants since I was last on, but where better to post and get it off your chest?!
:)
You're all business now for 2014. Get your to-do lists sorted and get stuff scored off! Stay focussed. You can do it

I'm here! I'm here!!
Yay for getting outta all the present buying. We stopped birthdays a few years ago. And I stopped christmas 2 years ago. Sisters seem to have followed suit last year Only the nephew and 2x nieces to get for now which isn't so bad. Well, and 3 teenagers :eek::rotfl:
Noooooooooo chance to the steak and wine!!! I hear where you're coming from. If my meal/drinks is only a few ££ difference, I don't mind splitting equally. But anything more no way! You did right
And stuff them if they wanna give off. It'll be interesting who orders what next time :rotfl:
You WILL get your dream house one day I'm gonna stick a pic of my house in my purse. Hopefully it'll curb the spending
Aw your wedding will be fab and more than worth it I'm sure! Try to enjoy the planning of it rather than stressing!! Wealth is what you're left with when all your money runs out0 -
Hello Missy Organised-and-got-a-Plan-Of-Action
Great work on the meal plans. Stick at it.
Have to admit we don't do that! Our meals are dictated by what's yellow stickered!!
I do not have a problem with that though. We eat like royalty
And stick at the savings too - which means *tut*tut* to the Graze boxes! You could do without!!!Bad_Weather wrote: »STOP ranting on here about it and actually START doingsomething about it in “real life”. And Ineed to start being proactive about MY ACTIONS so that I do not get myself intoa situation where I am being a MUG. Even if that means being the bad guy…
Feel free to rant here any time
And sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do. 'Bad guy' or not Wealth is what you're left with when all your money runs out0 -

Actually, ranting is healthy. It gets stuff outta your head and outta your system, which means you're not frying and pickling your own head about stuff, which means you're not stressing. A problem shared is a problem halvedBad_Weather wrote: »I know, I get bored with the graze boxes aswell. On the back of your post I have allowed myself 2 boxes this month and then I have cancelled it until March where I shall reassess! You have actually saved me cash! Probably about £14 quids worth!
:T Well done! Can I suggest £land for 100-150g bags of fruit/nuts/yoghurt stuffs?
Hmmmm.... surveys.... reeeeeeally need to get back on the ball with them....
And :j to the vouchers!! Fantastic Wealth is what you're left with when all your money runs out0 -

Do you need books or can you just find the info for free on the internet?Bad_Weather wrote: »
I was up at a Friends house at the weekend and I am just soso jealous. The kind where you get a knot in your stomach jealous. They have anamazing house not in the city, but not in the country either. It is perfect. Mynew dream location! They have this gorgeous big back garden and behind them isa forest and some hills.
Started looking at houses in the area and they are onaverage 500k. LThere is the odd on that is 350k that pops up…
This seems to be a big motivation for you - can't you print out a couple of pics of houses you LOVE and keep them by your computer/in your purse so that when you're tempted to buy another necklace or pair of earrings you're instantly seeing your real dream and the bigger picture??

I only have about 5 different perfumes I wear.

Can't you capsule these the way you want to do your wardrobe and just have one signature scent? 'only five' is kind of a lot
