Forgive me Martin, for I have sinned.....
Repent your wicked non DFW/MSE sins and ye shall be forgiven!!!
My Sins this week....:
Went out to a mate's birthday party and because it was a hotel we paid £6.40 for a pint and smirnoff ice :eek:
THEN stopped by the shops to buy more beer because we were in the mood = £10 down the drain
Have been buying jars for our baby who's weaning instead of pureeing meals just because it's EASIER :wall:
Have had to accept we've thrown away £77 by not sending an ebay parcel recorded delivery and of course it's not arrived :rolleyes: :mad: so he's opened a dispute :mad:

My sins this week include:
- have spent £35 on a new TV ariel so we can watch freeview - had a box but the ariel was not good enough. Still a whole lot better than paying for sky though.....:o
- spending far too much on chocolate in the hope it will make me feel better. Instead just makes me feel guilty for spending money I should be paying of credit cards.Successful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes.

Had a chogie on Fri night (but we shared it)
We had 2 chip butties from the chippy last night
We bought a film off Box Office (The Departed - good film BTW)
"We NEVER clean the toilet, Neil! That's what being a student is all about! No way, Harpic! No way, Dot! All that Blue Loo scene is for squares. One thing's for sure, Neil. When Cliff Richard wrote "Wired for Sound", no way was he sitting on a clean lavatory! He was living on the limit, just like me. Where the only place to put bleach is in your hair!"This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -
Oh, yes, I also bought chippie for the kids on Friday because I couldn't be bothered to cook.Successful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes. (Maud Van de Venne)Life begins at the end of your comfort zone (Neale Donald Walsch)0

Happy birthday for tomorrow I_A!
Well now. This weekend I have:
* Gone out for pub lunch with BF. However I did get sunburned so that's me taught a lesson.
* Bought myself a cake at Sainsburys....oh and a big tub of Moroccan cous cous & a tub of Queen Olives to go with Jacket potato on Tuesday. The aisle was rammed with egits so I didn't even look at the price, I just scooped them up and ran. :eek:
* Bought us two tubs of deli counter salads for lunch today.
However on the plus side, I didn't book the all inclusive holiday to Barbados that my mind & body keep telling me I 'deserve'. So that's something then.......Bank Balance: In the black for the moment.
Sainsburys Loan: Cleared July 2010
Credit cards: AMEX Airmiles Card: direct debit set to clear balance monthly

OK, I've not been too good this weekend...
I have:
- spent £36 on myself in Top Shop, for no other reason than I really wanted stuff
- when out shopping with a friend went to pub for a coke rather than buying one in newsagents
- not managed to motivate myself to list stuff on Ebay
I'm hoping to rectify the final one tonight though!Total Debt 13th Sept 2006 (exc student loan): £6240.06 :eek:

Not been too bad...... but....... menu plan last night said 'pizza', in freezer therefore zero cost.
Belly said 'fresh prawns and lightly smoked salmon please'. It asked so nicely would have been rude to refuse
. Oh, and DS & DD's bellies said 'steak please' and as my purse had got the hang of being open before I knew it I was £15 down......

Forgive me Martin.....
on way home from walk with children, me and DH both had telepathic thoughts of a pint of lager/shandy please - therefore an unscheduled stop at the Co-Op for Stella and nice Schweppes Lemonade (not even the cheap stuff)
They were on offer which is our only mitigation for such a crime, which is why we got 8 cans :eek:
They were nice though......:rolleyes:0 -
Forgive me Martin for I have sinned, it's been I-don't-know-how-long since my last confession....
Today I have been on DFW for approx 3 hrs, but have left the tv on downstairs and couldn't be ar$£d to go down and turn it off
To repent, I will not watch tv all day tomorrow, instead I will do multiple meal plans, list eBay items and have a NSD except for posting Amazon sale
