    Everything online was a bit rubbish looking. Lakeside is about a 35 min drive from me in good traffic, when i go there i go all dizzy as theres so many people rushing around and the bright indor lights do my head in! I have a next in a retail park 4 min drive away but the queue to get into retail park will be huge. Dont think i'll bother until monday...there might be something left!

    I think its time for a proper update now i am back from my hols. Had a fab few days in Italy, and then camping, and Alton Towers, and i'm amazed how little i spent thanks to my fab OH.

    I checked my bank yesterday and my pay has gone in, which was a nice surprise as i'm not meant to get paid till the 28th, which is Monday. I have paid a few bills now, and worked out my finances for August.

    I now have to put £100 away every month for my holiday to Las Vegas in November. Really looking forward to that as i BADLY need some new clothes, and I LOVE the outlet place they have there.

    Right, off to update my sig :j

    I want to clear more but decided to only chuck £300 this month at the debt, that will give me quite a bit of money left in the bank, so i can relax a little knowing i have money should i need it. I'm hoping the £50 i have given myself for a few treats will be enough to keep me happy, so i can then use the extra £300 to chuck at the debt at the END of the month when i get paid again. Thats the plan anyways lol.

    Its hard to be debt busting when the sun is shining and the weather is sooooo nice. Nobody wants to be sat at a computer when they could be in the garden having a BBQ, and drinking lots of vino lol. I'm on my laptop in the garden whilst drinking a glass on Rose!! Bliss.

    I have signed upto BView like you girlies have, i think i might get cracking with my 20 reviews for the voucher.

    The offer ends, yikes i didn't notice that. I best get reviewing then. When i was reading up on it i noticed they check your reviews, and if they are not up to scrach you don't get the £10 voucher, is that correct?
