    i took a little dip in to the fun pot today to get LL this throw for his room.. it's not exactly turquoise but he likes the shade of it so we're gonna throw it on top of the old pouffe in his room which is currently cream coloured--it will add a splash more colour... actually feel a bit ( a lot ) guilty about messing up the no spend weekend tho :(... had to get ozzy some dog food so total spent was £7.. i guess i can swallow it and LL is pleased to have something for his room so that is worthwhile

    Just think of it as Ozzy's food meant you didnt have NSW, so the throw was for LL because it had already happened :-)

    anyways it could be worse it could have been two NSD that you "ruined" if you bought the items on different days or next week...

    See the positive :-)

    £7 is still a low spend for the whole w/e Levi - so well done you!! :T:T You'll have spent a lot less than if you hadn't set the goal to have a no spend w/e I'm sure! (And Ozzy had to have his food LOL!!)

    Glad you're feeling a lot better hun:T:T xxx

    Crikey. If things are that bad we'll send a food parcel :D.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    You'll feel a WHOLE lot better about your £7 of I tell you how much has left my bank account this weekend... I'm not even going to think about it...


    Love the throw, will be lovely to snuggle under with LL on lazy weekend mornings. We brought my kingsize duvet down to the lounge last weekend, a throw would've been much easier!


    Hope you've had a lovely Sunday.

    Hi Levi


    So imagine you went in to town!! Right you bought 2 shirts that you did not need. You bought a pair of trousers even though you already have some. You bought LL a new Turquoise pouffe for his bedroom with the view of chucking out the old one!! Then you bought Ozzy food even though you had some at home!! And lastly you bought LL another pair of new pyjamas even though he already has some he loves!!!


    READ WHAT I HAVE WRITTEN ABOVE AGAIN AND AGAIN UNTIL IT SINKS IN!!!!!!!! THAT WOULD ALL HAVE BEEN WASTFUL SPENDING IN YOUR CURRENT SITUATION AND HAD YOU NOT PURCHASED ALL OF THE ABOVE YOU WOULD HAVE CHUCKED THAT MONEY AT YOUR DEBTS!!!!


    BUT, and here's the BUT you purchased 2 essential items. One for LL as you are making his room nice for him to sleep in. The other for Ozzy as he does need food. So they were both essential spending. But, nothing for yourself and then you are beating yourself up over the 2 very small spends. Please think about it Levi and please be kinder to yourself. You are doing your absolute best and trying to spoil your LL on a very tight budget and feeding your much loved dog.


    Be kind to yourself hun!!! PLEEEEEEESE!!!!!!!
