    They're terrible, aren't they! Thankfully the money has already come back to my bank account and been spent again ;)

  • Signature updated to reflect the credit card balance transfer. Somehow 2 lots of £600 didn't look as bad as £1,200 does :o I guess that's how I got into this mess in the first place!

  • Nearly a NSD, but succumbed to the lure of a fr@ppucino on the way back from work. It's too bloody hot!

  • Sometimes you just need a wee treat.

    This weather is so strange, we need a good storm to clear the air.

    Hope you enjoyed your frappy!

    I'm far too Northern for this heat - happier in -25 than +25!!

    Thor made a quite spectacular appearance here last night to clear the air though, so that made up for it. Love a good storm!

  • Went out for dinner and drinks last night, spent about £30 all in all, so not too bad! I now have £30 spending money to last me 2 weeks. I *should* be ok, as I only have 2 social things in my calendar until then (an urban socialite I am not!): Wethersp00ns coffee catch up today (can't remember what they charge for coffee, but I seem to remember it being cheap!) and 2 for 1 Pizz@ Expre$$ in a week and a bit.

    This week has been more spendy that I would have liked - not in terms of amounts paid out, just in terms of not being able to get in a NSD - there's always been something I've needed to buy. Oh well, next week will HAVE to be better!
