    Forgive me Martin, for I have sinned (a lot) this week:
    • I ordered & paid for £26.50 of quite unecessary items from Avon
    • DS had a birthday party to go to (the party was for twins) and I spent a silly amount on presents! (Good party though)
    • Went food shopping to Asda, when I have a tesco clubcard, and bought far too much - it'll all end up in the bin
    • Didn't follow any sort of budget, or keep record of spending, so now have no idea where my wages went :confused:

    I se the error of my ways, and I repent. I promise to be a better DFW next week. :A

    For the first time in ages, I can't think of anything to confess! I suppose I've just been too busy changing nappies and being a milk machine to actually go out and spend money. :)

    I'll just confess to STILL not having listed any of my huge box of eBay stuff yet.... must get round to that this week..... :whistle:

    Time to 'fess up:
    1. I drank my body weight in Magners on Friday night
    2. I've been placing bids all over eBay
    3. I used my mobile to have a lengthy chat with one of my friends
    and haven't even given this week's menu plans a second though.

    That's better....
    Overpay!

    If you lived nearer I'd take you up on that! I know it's a complete extravagance but I'm so behind on stuff it's worth a tenner to knock it off my 'to do' list!!

    Forgive my for I have sined ...

    -I withdrew ten pounds from the cash point on last week and I have no idea where five of it went.
    -I didnt list any items on Ebay
    -I didnt do my Quidco clicks every day
    -I didnt phone T mobile and beg them to switch me to a cheaper tarriff
    -I havent started trying to claim back my bank charges (450 pounds)

    I have been a naughty little bunny and far too lazy. I probably wont have time to list much on Ebay this week so I have been truly naughty and deserve to be punished:o Dry bread and water for me for lunch!
