    Hi there - couple of comments -

    Well done on getting all that stuff for only £90, squirrel, thats fantastic! :j And Keren, also fantastic, at paying off that level of debt in a year, even if you had two big chunks of "help" from reimbursements. :j

    Okay.......... can we please agree to push "middle age" back to 55 please? :D Bear in mind the average woman lives till about 84 nowadays. Oh, that means even 50 is being generous, doesn't it. Rats. Oh well. :eek:

    Squirrel... It sounds like you bought what was needed at brilliant MSE stylie prices. Well done on getting so much for your money. Maybe you should have a wee bit set aside each month to buy/replace clothing and shoes. Nothing lasts for ever and no matter how hard you try you will still need to replace some of your clothes and shoes at some point. Maybe £5-10 pounds a month or whatever you raise by pisgback clicks or a particular survey or cashback site? HTH

  • I'd say don't worry Squirrel29... you needed new stuff and obviously went to cheaper stores... and if you do pay it off next week like you said where's the problem? ;) we all have blips... some of us can't walk past a clinique counter without having one lol... but the majority of time is spent fighting those debts...

    chin up.
