I dont think they can do anything really. I will learn my lesson and not ever do this again when i am tired. I bid on a perfume and have won it, costing £16 i can wear it in the house. I didnt really need it but bid on it and it was sooo cheap. It will cheer me up and is a treat for a birthday this week. Now i have £2 left of spending money. lol. Two working days till payday. Hurrah.Aiming for a minimal spend 20222

You need to step away from window shopping 2 weeks before payday, just to make sure you comfortably get through the month.

Thank you Skinty and everyone, I ate lots of chocolate and marked!!!! lol.
I had a good day at work receiving a thank you card and present from a student. How kind is that? I had another inspection today and it went well apart from one crackers student but i laughed about that on the way home as they are bonkers sometimes.
I am v worried that Clint@n cards is going to disappear soon as they are closing shops left right and centre so i have ordered 4 boxes of my fave cards just in case they disappear as i love their cards, and two calendars for £32 which is a total bargain and my only bit of Black Friday spending. I am taking this from my Christmas Fund which is pretty ample.
It is the weekend. Time to rest in front of telly. Hurrah I am taking tonight off.Aiming for a minimal spend 20222 -
They have a website, therefore you can still buy from them.
Very nice gesture from the student.
Chocolate was well deserved and hopefully it made marking easier!Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.1 -
I am worried they might disappear from online too, their range of my favourite cards has really been cut.
I am so happy it is the weekend. I have 6 lessons to write then rest and one hour of marking every day next week.
Payday is Monday at midnight.Aiming for a minimal spend 20222 -
They went into administration before in 2012 & 2019 but were bought out. Hopefully it won’t happen again SW. Glad you got a supply of your faves0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗

I fell asleep with the computer on last night. Zonked out on sofa, i cannot wait till Christmas only 3 weeks till hols.
It is v stormy out there this morning. It is sooo windy. I have a fair bit of work to do, prescriptions to collect, much housework to do as well as the usual lessons to write.
Rather than paying £81 for a monthly train ticket this month i am buying weekly tickets for £66.Aiming for a minimal spend 20221
