What are you like as regards to money?
If I have money then I HAVE to go shopping and buy something. Like today I had £30 spare so off I toddled to town and came back with 2 pair of jeans and a T-Shirt.
I love to get a bargain, like the jeans I got today were buy 1 get 1 free, so for £20 i got 2 pairs![:D :D](https://community.themix.org.uk/plugins/emojiextender/emoji/twitter/grin.png)
All I need now is some extra spare cash and I can go back and buy myself a new belt, I had a heart attack, the one I liked today cost £12.99 :eek: yeah for a bloody belt :eek2:

if i dont, sulk.
heh
I put my money for rent in savings as soon as my loan arrives.
Other than that, I seem to manage OK...seeing as I rarely have much spare, I can't go on shopping trips (apart from food and drink).
i have nothing, or as little as possible to do with the stuff.
i have agreed that emily is the accountant in this house.
if we go into a major city i'm alowed only about a tenner in coins, no folding stuff. trouble is i start giving it away to the homeless and stuff. i see a beggar and think and think, "there but for the grace of god go i".
complain
borrow it
get paid
pay back people i owe

you get the point.
But when I do have money I spend nearly all of it on clothes!!
Usually when i have the money i have to spend it other wise i end up spendind it bit by bit on sweets:rolleyes:
Mostly goes on Beer and gf. *And getting to work!!!* £7.50 EVER DAY just to get somewhere I dislike!
Dis is Crazyeee, no?!
I beg my parents
And fortunately my persuation skills, combined with a colgate smile has never disappointed me.
I feel guilty if I spend too much, like today in Tesco when I bought some coffee flavouring (Caramel - mmmm!), and a bottle of Green Ginger Wine. That was six quid that shouldn't have really been spent, but I felt like I needed some cheering up.

Terrible, I really shouldnt be allowed to have a switch card and a store card, Im not allowed credit cards either, it's for my own good so they tell me :impissed:
yes that's excellent news, it's just the amount of cash I need!
Please give it to meeee.
No that's bad!! :eek: Go shopping now!!
Most of my money these days seems to go on nights out & travel to college though.
Whenever I have spare cash, I end up going into town and buying new clothes and blowing it all.
Then a few days later something always comes up that I need the money for.
Like last Thursday I had £190, went into town and bought a pair of jeans and a shirt, came home, and about an hour later my pal phoned me wanting me to know if I was wanting to chip in for twenty pills, and go clubbing the next night :mad:
Where they lined with gold or sommat ? £190 for jeans & a Shirt :eek2: youre crazyyyyyyy :crazyeyes
I got 2 pair of jeans for £20 bloody quid
xxx
Only £180 - I got a pizza out Pizza Hut too
The jeans did have a kinda goldey/browney colour to them, though
Oh well that explains it then
Shit Id never ever pay that much for clothes, seriously I could buy a full wardrobe for that :crazyeyes
I wouldn't normally pay that much for jeans, but it's that 'I have the money, so I might as well spend it' mentality I was talking about.
I hate shopping. I get most of my clothes from my sister.
I'm good at saving.
I spend money on doing things rather than having things.
As all my friends are away at uni this has made it really easy for me to not go out and therefore have lots of money that I would have spent on my social life.
I'm being quite good at the moment, although I may still be in shock at the cost of my driving lessons. I have some money in a coat pocket somewhere that I've been meaning to stick in Halifax but I'm in dire need of a haircut so that's that gone already.
My dad did offer to do it with the shears, but I politely declined.
I have savings, although that's mainly due to my forgetting my PIN number and so can't actually get any out. Rah.
Usually I resent paying huge amounts for clothes I know will be in the sales for less than half price.
I like Primark, H&M, and places like Bay trading and Pilot.
One thing I hate is the price of decent shoes.
