Good weekend / Bad weekend

On Monday BF and I had been together for 2 years so he took me away for the weekend. We had a fantastic time but I didn't just fall off the MS wagon - more like jumped off from a great height only to smash into the ground at speed!

Spent far too much money on booze and food (in that order:beer: ) and bought lots of clothes that I can't afford. :eek:

Not sure whether I'm glad we had a fantastic weekend or gutted because I've totally blown my moneysaving task.:confused:
Reality check - hit rock bottom on 15 Dec 2008 with unsecured debts of £29,136 and not enough money to live on

:j NOW DEBT FREE!!!! :j
:oI try to take life one day at a time but sometimes several days attack me at once :o

    Firstly, congratulations and glad you had a nice weekend!

    Secondly, can you/do you want to take any of the stuff you bought back to the shops, as a bit of 'damage limitation'?

    Thirdly, right, you've confessed now.....don't do it again! :D:D

    There you go - you can stop beating yourself up about it now. :)
