Your right and the answer is no.....but thankfully I had already come to my senses last night Skinny, the room never gets used so closed the door and moved on to the thought of xmas and the fact that I haven't bought one single pressy, think it gave me the shake I needed.
Must admit I have had a spendy day today, but only on DS xmas pressys "expected spends" and have managed to save £38 on some black Friday Deals...so good start me thinks
Then went for my food shop tried aldys and totally stuck to my list, in fact think I spent slightly less
Fingers crossed I am back on the right track
Fridays come round so quickly, funny how most people hate Mondays, heard the song. Here I go moaning again as the weekend creeps nearer0 -
£50 paid CC today. :j
Have bought almost last of DS xmas pressys so mortgage money gone down slightly but I have kept to my limit with DS....hoping I keep strong in the next few weeks, its really not easy when your walking around the shops and the music is playing and the xmas lights twinkling. Have to really fight to keep my purse shut...so need to stay away from shops and all that temptation

Oh dear, my drain is blocked, the bath and sink wont empty...must be jammed full of leaves, oh just reminded myself the year the very same drain was blocked and it was a poor toad stuck fast, poor little thing, hmm think I will leave that job to hubby, well he is a plummer after all!
managed a whopping £110 off mortgage today:Dand might have another payment by the end of the week depending on the vet insurance policy, still not sure if they are going to cough up full payment of £88 or £28 minus the £60 excess probably £28 not getting hopes up but will be happy with £28 better than nothing
