  • Popped out for a pint of milk and ended up with a Double Decker as well which I had to scoff before I got home, as I hadn't bought one for anybody else!

    So, 75p when it should have just been 35p, but I don't feel too bad as I had spent all day with 3 kids who couldn't get out due to the bad weather. A few months ago I would have bundled them in the car and gone to the Wacky Warehouse which would have cost lots more! So I am learning.... slowly, very slowly!!:o
  • I spent £1.60. £1.20 on postage for e-bay so thats okay but £0.40 on library fines:mad: . Need to stop daft spending like that. I know it's only 40p but stupid spend. I could have got chocolate for that:rotfl: xx

  • £1.50 on bus fare.

    But I will also write this down as a sort of 'vent' too.

    I rang my brother on his landline tonight but his stupid phone won't answer so I had to ring his mobile. We chatted longer than I intended - 45 minutes. When I put the phone down I kicked myself so hard.....we're both on Talk Talk and I should have just asked him to call me back shouldn't I?
    Oh ****!!!!!!!

    dont worry la... one of those things i guess... just remember next time, or txt him and tell him to ring through the landline :rotfl:its just one of those things, dont beat yourself up over it
