Hi Everyone
I'm new, as I finally spent the last pennies of my october paycheck (8 days into the month) today on new clothes (although my dress was amazing), i feel then need to do something!
please share your stories with me, i think mine is pretty self-explanatory but if anyone can relate to my story please message me - especially if you live in the London- UK area.
Thank you :)Xxx

" Hi, welcome to the site :-)
I too have spent a lot already this month.I love your pic by the way- is that a new dress?!
I do live near your area.River Island I find to be quite expensive; I graduated there from Primark etc and need to stop going in there.
You'll see my posts on here; it's very hard but in brief: setyourself a limit of money on spending, try to go in charity/cheaper shops/jumble sales,reward yourself when you do achieve etc.
I am going to spend more time doing Art-painting soon. "
