Also lost track of my spending, have spent way over my weeekly budget (I reckon about £50 in total, and mainly on cr*ap)!
I have redeemed myslef (slightly) by moving OH a small step closer to the DFW way (he has handed his CC over after his mahoosive blow-out last week, and is content to live on whats left in his bank account (about £2
)

oh so many things this week... bought myself a coat which I did kind of need (could have lived without though) and a bracelet which well...um, it was pretty??? Been on night out and spent WAY too much and out for lunch that was totally unplanned but lovely. also didn't make packed lunches twice this week out of sheer laziness and I've left it so late posting cards that they'll have to go first class. I think the year of being good is catching up and I'm now dreading xmas as there will be toooooo many temptations.Mortgage OP 2026 £640/2000Mortgage balance: £32,240

I spent £100 last night on a meal and drinks ..... but in my defence it was budgeted for and was a one off once-in-a-lifetime celebration of my 1st class degree. We drank Moet & Chandon (£30 a bottle which I didn't think was bad for a restaurant) and had chinese, and then went round the pubs. I drank double vodkas and JD & coke all night .... was very drunk and danced my socks off ..... felt ok this morning though. No hangover. Been good in that I haven't spent anything that wasn't budgeted for.Olympic Countdown Challenge #145 ~ DFW Nerd #389 ~ Debt Free Date: [STRIKE]December 2015[/STRIKE] September 2015

Was welling up at Cranford too - hormones, hormones, all I need now is a cancer research ad to come on to finish me off for the night.
I overspent by £20 last night and managed to splurge in Pout in Covent Garden on Wednesday as the store is closing down and everything is half price.
But I didn't get a cab home last night (phew - thank goodness for OH who made me get public transport) and did tart my plastic yesterday from 29% to 0% for 9 months so am sure that cancels out any need for me to say any 'hail Martins' this week.:j£34,547 (Dec 07); Current debt: £zilch (Debt free December 2010)
