    Lol, i thought i should add i had a DS when they 1st came out.....also PINK! I sold it about a month after i brought it. :)

    Pink is the best colour :j, if i could i would sell mine, but i always decide not too as it comes in handy when i go on holiday and bored on the plane.

    Cool, have you put a pic on your facebook with your new hair do? I wanna see!:rolleyes: I have always had long blonde hair, feathered and layered for years and years now. I also thought about having a long victoria beckham style bob as the all the rage but my hair is a bit thin.

    Hello!

    Well much fun was had at the hen night and i only spent £60 over the weekend which included food, drinks.

    I went in a PINK limo! :D Spent an hour driving round Portsmouth getting drunk on "Champagne". Well 1 real bottle and then some Lambrini stuffs.

    My mate had a great time so that was the best thing!

    Maria theres piccies with my hair now on Facebook. :)

    Back to money saving.....:p

    My DS sold last night, only got £80 though, was hoping for £100 as got 3 games and saw some others sell for £115 but £80 more towards my debt and also have £28 top cashback payment coming my way this week so thats going on credit card too. Plus had £8 in paypal anyway so an extra £116 i can pay off my card at end of this week then the total will be £282 left to pay! :T

    Have £40 left in bank until payday and £30 left on Tesco Clubcard Plus so won't starve, get paid in 11 days.

    Also my Dad told me today my Nan is give me £300 spending money for our holiday!!! :eek: Was planning on taking that much between me and Nick anyway so that means i can pay off the rest of my credit card at the end of the month hopefully and Nicks mum is going to give him a little towards our holiday too so we shouldn't need to contribute a lot if any :D

    Hiya

    You went in a PINK limo? bet that was great fun driving around portsmouth in it. Any hunky strippers at the hen do? :-)

    Well done only spending £60, not bad for a hen do.

    Shame your DS didn't sell for me, especially with 3 games. Least its £80 to chuck at your debts. I really must sell mine, I'll add it to my list of things to do.

    Brilliant news about your nan giving you £300 for your hols, where is it your going again?

    Hiya all! :hello:

    Yep 2 weeks today until my holiday, still need to get some more clothes but don't get paid until Friday so will do that this weekend.

    So excited, 7 working days left! :D

    There are now pics on facebook of me drunk at my friends wedding reception! Ha Ha!

    Diet has kinda stopped too, haven't put any on, i have just completely lost motivation....

    Onto the money saving, i am still being quite bad, been totally neglecting my daily clicks and been a bit slack on surveys although done a £3 itsyourview one the other day so now got £37 in that account (need £50 to get my cheque), i would have had £40 but was too late to do that last one i got :rolleyes:

    Also did a £4 pinecone survey today and finally got to order another voucher from Pigsback so got a boots voucher to get holiday bits.

    Think the fact the weather has been warmer and i have been drawn back into the world of soaps and just been vegging out more than i was doing!

    So i got my holiday money but didn't realise they charge an advance cash fee so am now overdrawn with no overdraft so am going to get a bank charge i think though i don't know whats happening cos of the test case thingy? :mad:

    I know i can probably claim it back but such a pain and means i have to go into my free £10 buffer zone with HSBC to put money in Alliance and Leicester!

    My dad keeps moaning at me to get my claim restarted with HSBC, i am due about £300 in charges, i did write to them and they wrote back with a reference last Feb but then i never heard and never chased it up....i really should but just keep forgetting :o
