    I just want to pay my bills for now!

    This ^
    It's been a very long month, with the bank phoning up asking for money on one hand and bouncing my direct debits on the other.

    I don't get paid to next week but I'm going to buy 30 DS so I have to stop borrowing it from my work and some new running shoes. Mine have seen better days.

    Some new foundation! Starting the payments on my new bike from the cycle to work scheme this month too, so that's my monthly treat for the next year!

    ah...dual income household, both paid every other Friday, but alternating Fridays. Every Friday is payday. Is it Friday yet? I like Friday.
    That was us until this month! My husband's employer switched to paying on the 10th and 25th so we're currently getting paid together. Berry knows that the last couple of weeks have been tight for us, too. Thankfully, my husband got paid today and I get paid tomorrow. We're rich!

    That said, I'm leaving tomorrow to Disneyland for the Tinkerbell Half marathon weekend. I'll be buying myself a trinket or something to commemorate the weekend.

    Setting money aside for mother/daughter/daughter in law bonding day at nail salon/spa the weekend before Valentines and new running shoes and new jeans if I can find some that fit.

    P*rn.

    LOL! Nice.

    I may opt for a new protein powder. I'm running low on my current one and want to try something new.

    Moving house on the 10th so almost all my wages (other than the normal bills like rent, food and utilities) are going on moving expenses, including a £500 security deposit, money for a new fridge, a £60 charge to cancel british gas, etc, etc, etc, etc.

    Also had to pay for car tax already, that's another £90 for 6 months.

    So if I'm lucky I might just have enough left over to spend £60 on getting my bike fixed up.

    I'll treat myself to some new makeup. Possibly the Electric Blue eyeliner by NYX if it's as good as I hope it is. Then maybe another piece of furniture from Ikea.

    Probably going reserve and pay for rooms for a Motorcycle trip I am taking in September. 5 nights at the Silver Legacy in Reno. Plus an overnighter hotel for the trip there and the trip back. Maybe Klamath Falls.

    We don't do Valentine's Day in our house, lucky if I get a brew made for me :laugh: I DID get an email from Interflora the other day for their flowers though and nearly spit out my coffee when I saw this one... http://www.interflora.co.uk/catalog/product.xml?product_id=2547456;category_id=1000333

    I have shoe envy now :ohwell:

    The new work shoes are replacing boots which have been leaking since November, and given that it's been a tad wet in Manchester.... let's just say my feet will be grateful! :sick:

    Red Hot Chili Peppers Concert Tickets!!!!! Woo hoo.. I can order them in a couple days....

    I also traded in my POS XBOX360 that wasn't working for a new one. It somehow worked just the second they tested it. Hallelujah!

    This might be kind of a boring answer, but I'm going to buy a new speaker for my bass cabinet. :)

    Mostly bills, trying to get my credit cards paid off... but maybe signing a lease for a new car this weekend! That'll take some of the extra cash right out of my pocket haha

    Some decent running shoes - my knees and ankles are killing me! Then, something nice for Valentine's day for my gorgeous, beautiful man - perhaps something revealing for me which he can unwrap!! :heart:
