    I have been terrible recently and have not been particularly money saving. In fact life has been pretty rubbish recently as my boyfriend split up with me and I'm really upset, so have been in the rut of comfort spending.

    However, I'm back on the wagon and back on my challenges now (olympic and £20 k ones).

    Therefore today I have pulled myself together and kicked myself in the bum to get on with life and prove to myself that I'm worth more!

    :grouphug: :grouphug: Have a couple of dodgy hugs, hope you stay pulled together, and start feeling better in yourself:D

    Not a great day as have spent money I shouldn't on buying lucnch as I was at a clients and felt they wanted me out of the office for a while!

    But I have...
    Sold three items on ebay, not a great amount, but more than covers my lunch.
    Not small, but wanted to share, been told I'll get a £500 bonus in my pay on Monday. I had been told that I wouldn't be getting a bonus as due to circumstances my office didn't meet profit targets, but as I worked so hard I'm getting one! Must try not to spend that over the weekend!

    I can't think of anything else.

    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.
