have a nice night out snaggles!
im off to a ward reunion from one of my old wards, driving so that should save a bob or two, and looking forward to a good natter, went to my new ward, and am starting on the 25th march, and am 3 earlies which works out fantastically for me, as the kids off on hols so i get to spend the evenings with them, am looking forward to starting and getting stuck into something i want to do instead of just ambling along!
nade £17 on the jewellery so its all lokking up for the jewelley fund, and have £50 ready to pay into the charity fund. yipee:A :j0 -
I think we all have to (HAVE to) include something for treats even in the tightest of budgets. Even if it's as little as £5 a month to buy a magazine and sit in a coffee shop enjoying feeling like a 'normal' person once a month.
Like a lot of DFWs, I made the mistake of treating myself a lot when I'd had a bad week at work. "Crap morning.................a leather jacket will make me feel better...................so I'll go shopping at lunchtime............."Honestly, I used to think like that!
Now a treat is £15 on payday to browse the charity shops and try and find a few clothes / records / books / bricabrac bargains as my treat. Because I'm so fussy now, I usually only spend about £5 on payday on my little treats!Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!0 -
I was so good, I only bought what I needed (apart from one item I couldn't find
) and I used my discounts to their full advantage

So really for one night out a month that means I have to forgo the weekly treats but they are worth it as they are lovely folk and we usually do cheap stuff but sometimes celebrations are called for.

You doing that wrong. You should be going to bed to start moaning...
