    I've been quite good this month, only unplanned purchases are pair of shoes in charity shop (I was looking for bedding) £5.99. Had loads of compliments about them tho so that makes me feel better and feel very smug when I tell people they were only £5.99 from charity shop. Plus 6x cushion covers £1 each in sale. I think I've been very good :D

    I booked a flight to Australia on Friday (I haven't seen my family (other than my mum) and my Aussie friends in a couple of years, and I couldn't really wait anymore).

    So, now I have to pay it off and I intend to by mid-year. That being said, I got a reasonably good price on it. I think if it wasn't for the cost of previous flights to Australia, I wouldn't have any credit card debts at all.

    I also bought a Stargate dvd off Amazon in the US, but getting it there was cheaper than buying it from the UK, and it comes out a month earlier there. :)

    Apart from that I've been (mostly) good.
