Steve and Andy want me in a skirt or Teepee or a Tent from the Army and Navy store depending on the state of my diet (a direct quote). Thank you both of you for your best wishes. I thought if became skinny again I could wear nicer jeans. My current jeans are nice though.

I am sure you will look lovely whatever you wear :) although some people do have bridesmaids in jeans :cool:

Thanks for the picture Mrs Upsidedown Bear, they look great. I don't know what to wear I have so many nice clothes already I am not going to buy anything especially we are keeping the costs down.

I have just heard that some of my other friends are facing salary cuts too. Scary times. In a way it is good, as it is teaching me about what is important. I will stick to my budget of spending £40 a month at work and £100 on food and £50 on fun (£190 spending on top of bills of £280).

Any money left over will be put into overpayments on my mortgage. At least I am saving now and I am trying to stop spending unnecessarily. The important things are bills, food, mortgage everything else is a want.

I don't need anything. I have everything I want but I wonder if I will be silly and buy anything on fleabay. I hope I don't as I have read both my fleabay purchases. My history book was interesting and the money saving book wasn't even that good. I read them both in two days. I could have borrowed these from the library and saved £6.

stick the books back on fleabay and recoup some of your money.

you should get free kindle books, download kindle app to pc and you can read free kindle books on money making/saving etc.

saves spending money on fleabay

Holy moly Aesop. Are you an encyclopedia?

Were you the person that knows everything in The 39 Steps?

I wish. I saw the play, it was brilliant.

OMG. One of my favourite films of all time.

What are you up to?

I am supposed to be marking. Boring. Weather is glorious. Parents have come with lots of lovely food. I have written one lesson and no marking done. Yikes.

In 90 days I will get £150 from Clydesdale Bank. I'm not EXCITED or anything:money::j:rotfl:

I gave my parents some money for petrol and food. Now I am going to be good and not spend any money. I don't need to as they always bring me loads of food. Yay.

Stay away from the eBay!

I love libraries, although I've still got Christmas books so I won't need to borrow any for a while. When I moved back in with parents I got my old library card updated a week later and buried myself in the history section. Only problem is sometimes they don't have particularly great quality books. Good to know what authors to not buy in the future XD
