I'm feeling a bit low at the moment so I haven't been around much. That and work are clamping down on internet use! LOL

Hi All, feeling fed up at the moment. Been an expensive time what with getting house ready to sell (new cupboard door handles, door locks, paint, paint and more paint,) best friends wedding on Saturday (new shoes, dress, gift voucher, card, drinks etc). Not really winning at the moment, although I am still accounting for every penny, collecting receipts and making the kids pay me back their subs.

Hoping for a better week next week. Still have a few accessories to buy to make house look nice for photos on Friday. Been avoiding the shops like the plague!!

keep up the good work everyone!

Hope you feel more cheery today. Anything we can do to help? Sending you a BIG HUG. I am still being a good girlie - not sure what's come over me. No naughty spending AT ALL. Think I've finally accepted that I am skint!:rolleyes:

Hello everyone :hello:

Well just thought I would check in. I have had a really really bad expensive couple of weeks. I have been shopping twice this weekend and once last week and have had to use my credit card! Everything I have bought I would use but I'm not sure it is classed as essential!

I had to buy a new phone last week and then this week I have bought shoes x 2 (one work pair one pair for a wedding) dress for a wedding, new coat, new jeans, new bag, cushion for living room (Mum paid for other one - thanks Mum), new pjs and a spending spree in Boots (all things I will use though)

I will try and stay away from the shops now for quite a few weeks.

I feel guilty for spending the money :mad: but obviously not enough to stop me spending it in the first place. I should be all set for my cousins wedding/family holiday in June now and I don't think I need any other clothes for the summer.

Hope everyone has had a good weekend.

Having a nightmare morning (again!) spent £20 on petrol yesterday and it hasn't come out yet, thankfully, but when it does i'll go over my o/d AGAIN!! So now I'm going to have to run into town at lunchtime today go to one bank take out money and rush to the other to pay it in!!

AND I've got to go to the post office to post some ebay parcels! Bearing in mind it takes 20 mins to get to town not to mention queuing, I'm sensing I'm gonna be over an hour for lunch today! Great!!! LOL :-)

Oh dear I am a bit rubbish..

Have been feeling meepy looking after OH all week, so mother took me shopping on Saturdaqy, mind you she paid for some new Ted Baker stuff for me and new shoes. I just bought some craft stuff

Then Sunday, I went to a bead fair at Malvern and spent a fortune on beads. The way I justify it is that it is an investment as I can make stuff with the beads to sell... or something like that

Yesterday, just food shopping, together with a couple of bottles of vino

Love and big hugs to those feeling a bit down in the dumps xx

I'm always a bit warey of send parcels for ebay any other way other than Royal Mail cause if they didn't arrive I don't think I'd get any cover from Paypal etc.
