Confessions of a Bank Holiday Sinner.

Morning Guys. Well it's the Tuesday after the Bank Holiday and... I was wondering if anyone else had any BH confessions to make
My Sin is:
- I spent far to much :eek: and to make it worse it was on my credit card :mad:
But is has helped me have my second LBM, the card is now at home (I am at work) I have enough cash in my current about to get me to pay day. I now also have enough clothes to last the summer :rolleyes: or until I've slimmed back into my summer wardrobe from last year.
Oh and by the way the amounts haven't hit my cc's online account, so I have no idea what the damage is!! :rolleyes: :mad: :eek:
So what are your confessions, if any and how are you going to deal with them?

Hi,
My confession is that I went out on Sunday with a few friends for a supposedly quick drink. Ended up in an almighty session and used my cc to obtain cash from the bank and I lost my jacket in a club.
Feel a complete muppet for doing this and I promised myself I'd stay sober for the next few months. The upside to this is I woke up with some cash left and used it to buy a carpet.
Lesson learnt 1 - never take cc out again when going to the pub/club/kebab house
Leason learnt 2 - never fit a carpet whilst suffering from a force 5 hangover
Cheers,

morning campers, I had a day down hastings, spent a tenner on petrol, and a tenner on a couple of drinks each...and a couple of quid on some chips...so, even though i didnt spend too much, it was money i needed for getting through the month, but the memories of seeing the 1000's of bikes down there was worth itCorduroy pillows are making headlines!
