    Oooh just realised I don't have a number!

    Well I couldn't even begin to remember what I've spent lately, been so busy! Probably mostly non essentials. Was one of my friends birthdays and I had ordered her fake tan but it hadn't came yet, so I thought I can't give her nothing so bought some perfumes from Body Shop for £16. Oh, also bought a little dress from Miss Selfridge for £12 and a necklace for £3.50.

    Aaannndd went to get a new tattoo! Was £30. I'm so bad at spending, or should I say good at spending??

    On a brighter note, sold a necklace on ebay and am going to list my Blackberry phone, it's an essential I really don't need, and may as well try to get some money for it :)

    Try to be good. And don't forget the sale mantra...if you wouldn't want it for full price - you probably don't REALLY want it....;) Oooh! I'm getting quite good at this aren't I :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    :grin: Save me from spending...

  • Good morning everyone

    well I have had a very very expensive week as I have bought stuff for my house my monthly food shopping and had my haircut!! I am hoping to spend the bare minimum for the rest of the month and next month to make up for it.

    I have finished decorating my house and I am really pleased with it. I have also given it a good clean and and had a major sort out (6 bin bags full of rubbish!!!!) and now have a box of things to sell at a carboot sale. I found things I forgot I had so I really don't need to buy anything for me for quite a while. The house also has a nice relaxing feel to it again so I don't mind being at home.

    Today I am going to make soup for the freezer and my friend is coming to see me this afternoon. I am going to a family party tonight but I am the designated driver so will be a cheap night as I will probably be drinking water! (Don't like fizzy drinks). I am aiming for a NSD tomorrow as well. Yesterdays went a bit wrong as I needed milk and Gravy Granules.

    Hope you have a good weekend.

    My words of wisdom didn't work then...;) I spent £26 last night on 6 padded coat hangers LOL. I thought they might inspire me to do some ironing - then i won't need to buy and more new clothes as it will be like having a whole new wardrobe:D:D:D Off into town today. Wish me luck...

    The temptation is terrible isn't it!?! I just got back from our local Next after spending £78 (only got two things in the sale!:eek: ) but I did have £45 in gift cards to spend from my birthday...... still feel guilty tho, esp as I didn't even look at the kiddies clothes, I just went 'me' shopping

    Good luck in resisting.....
