Just realised I spend about £150. Is that really excessive?

Well I have quite a good salary but am also 3k overdrawn, so I guess not!

Depends on your family income I suppose. It's about what I've spent on clothes/make up in the last year, but I'm pretty skint. If you can afford it, go for it. I'll just be over here.

Then yes, if you are £3k od it's very naughty Pay your od off first, and then you can spend it with a clear conscience

cos I've got money, but not for that. I have about £40 a month to spend on Stuff, but it's amazing how quick it goes if you buy a book and go to the pictures a couple of times

i don't spend anything on myself as i'm very overweight so everything looks quite crap, however I have 2 gorgeous slim children whose body are made for clothes and prefer to spend the money on them!

I guess I never spend money on house-type things and have to look fairly smart for my job... I do feel a bit guilty about it though

i'd try to get the overdraft down if you could otherwise you'll end up on spendaholics with that nosey woman shoving unopened packets of tights in your face

well my money on clothes and makeup in the past 6mths combined must total around £80 and that is only because I spent all that in the past 2wks on clothes to fit the ever expanding bump so bought 3 pairstrousers, 1 jeans[on order] and 4 sets pjs also on order. Very rare I buy something for myself.

This month have bought a top in a sale for £7. That is it! I don't have a particular budget for me, I just get things when and if I need them.
I have bought ds some pj's, shoes and a top.
