    My Sins This Week
    • Bought a kitten which involved paying £10 for the kitten itself, plus another £10 worth of 'essentials'...
    • Used money that really should've been going towards debt on treating ourselves to alcohol and something nice for dinner last night
    • Bought some fastfret for my bass through ebay. Only really spent £1.98 on it though as already had £4 in paypal from an online survey... but still....

    I went into the supermarket yesterday for fruit and moisturiser and spent £10 but still have no fruit - does wine count as a fruit portion?

    i've spent too much money this week on christmas and birthday pressys, which were on sale but for which i'd been saving high street vouchers.
    I'm going to a craft shop today i although i know i'm only going for a look i know i'm going to end up spending.
    I bought ready meals last night instead of coming home and cooking, could have been worse could have been a takeaway.
    please forgive me.

    Forgive me Martin for I have sinned, since my last confession I:

    * Spent £14.99 on a Sims2 expansion pack. :o (I feel it necessary to point out that I went via quidco daily clicks to research the best price, then go back to quidco to find out which of the cheapest suppliers gave the most cashback. GAME won, at 11%) What shall the punishment be?? :D

    I'm a regular on this thread:o

    I spent £100 on making up some wedding photobooks and calendars to send to MIL and family in Canada. That's on top of all of the scrapbook albums I'd bought but I'm sick of making them already and thought the books were nicer.

    I spent quite a lot of money this week:
    Clothes for hubby who burst out of his trousers :rolleyes:
    Clothes for me, as I unexpectedly got out of a pair of jeans without unzipping them :T
    A little camera for me, because I haven't got one and I just want one :o

    I am confessing even though I am not sure whether I have sinned yet or not, so this is just in case:rotfl:

    I went out for a meal with OH and his friend last night and we had loads to eat and drink, but as I had been for a four mile run (just showing off now) and only had two weetabix to eat the four glasses of wine went straight to my head and not only can I not remember eating my main course but I can't remember who paid the bill!!!!!! So I have no idea whether my night out was cheap or not!!!!!!:rotfl: :rotfl:

    I will ask OH when friend has gone home:rotfl: don't want to admit to being so drunk in front of friend..
