    Before I confessed everything here I made a £20 purchase on my cc, I decided I didn't need is and as it was still in the packaging I thought I would take it back and see if they would give me my money back.

    And they did!!!!!

    Yea me!

    At the moment, I am just leaving it at home which seems to be working ok, but I will bare that in mind if I get tempted to much!

    Just got in from slimming class and I managed to stay the same! :D Which I am suprisingly with as I haven't been really good for the last 2 weeks and not been to class so very proud and hoping for a loss next week.

    Total spend today = £5.75p
