    well after spending just £20 all last week and nothing yesterday, I thought that I would treat my self to a sat-nav that I have been wanting for ages.
    so off I set with a budget of £100, determined to stay focused on the job in hand when the most gorgeous lad maskerading as a salesperson swept me off my feet and out of the shop, spending £130 in the process!!!
    sat in the car after wondering how on earth that happened!!!!!
    damn the cute, sweet boy!!!

    so now have taken refuge in my office and refuse to move incase the same thing happens again!!

    good luck to everyone else today

    remember - if you see a cute, sweet gorgeous saleman - hide in the isles and never look them in the eye - you have been warned - lol :D

    Will be really strict with shopping list and stick to it - feeling the end of the month pinch :rolleyes:
    Try and work out what an earth I've done wrong with my spreadsheets and accounts as it's all a bit of a mess - oops.
    Get through more washing so it can all dry naturally and doesn't need to do in the tumble dryer
    Done piggyclicks already
