    Good luck for tomorrow, Liberty - hope it all goes well. Having been there myself I can understand the stress that you are feeling today, but can not emphasise enough the relief you will feel this time tomorrow. :beer:

  • Evening all,

    Ventured into town at lunchtime and all the shops have their mid-season sales on – nooooo! But I resisted! For now… I did spend £11 on a b’day pressie for a friend – scarf and little Japanese doll thing. Also £2.30 on a pack of plasters because my shoes were rubbing. Erm… is that it? Yep! Seems like more because I got the Argos book and it weighs a ton. Heading straight home now so no more spends for me! Oh hang on, I owe Dad £10 as he kindly took my car to the garage for me yesterday while I was at work and that’s how much it cost to find out there’s nothing wrong with it. Grr.

    Hope you get your moped back JW! And hope all goes well tomorrow Liberty! Until tomorrow… xx

  • Ok an update

    I spent lots ugh £51 but all on gifts for my friend and her family who I will be seeing this weekend (christmas stuff I just might not see her before christmas after this weekend) 2 birthday presents (also christmastime birthdays and also christmas gifts for a few other people I happened to find as I was out and about. That included 10 gifts in effect (some of the smaller things will be for the same person)
    Balloons for balloon animals X2
    Aeroplane magnets X3
    Over knee stripy socks X1
    reading glasses X1
    Set of cups X1
    Novelty pegs X2
    bubble mixture X3
    Alphabet magnets X2
    Champagne X1

    I have dutifully written all this in my spending diary and it looks horrible but it would have needed to be done sooner or later and since I have no money in my budget (stretched already) this will have to come out of savings.
