Has anyone else lost the plot ??

Yep, me!

Christmas shopping just seems like a good excuse to spend spend spend. I haven't budgeted for treats, personal spends or clothes up until now as I wanted to manage as long as possible without so we could get our cards paid off. So being able to legitimately spend under the guise of Christmas shopping has been great fun! However, I have now finished my Christmas shopping so I need to regain control before I end up in a mess. Luckily I have paid cash for everything this year, so I don't have any Christmas on credit for the first time ever!!!

This is another me too!!
After months of no unnecessary spending (thanks CAFCgirl) I did the Debenhams Christmas shopping night!!
Yes I had planned to go - with my list - and take advantage of the 'up to 25% off' I did get some bargains like I planned, but also bought 2 cardigans, a pair of trousers, a manicure set and 8 pairs of knickers for me! Worse than that - I opened up a new credit card with them to get the extra 10% off!
Like some of you others it seemed like when I started I couldn't stop.
I know I can pay the bill as I am getting a back dated payrise next month, but that should be used for the existing debt.
Need to learn from this one.

New knickers!!!!
I'm glad to see my work paid off hun!
