Impulse, smulpulse...Wow, try saying that with a mouthful of chocolate...
OK, impulse buying really sucks. Top = nice. Top = spent all my money. Nothing wrong with a little impulse buy here and there. In fact, it rocks. But, um, having no money doesn't. So, tips. Tips, tips, tips for everyone!
- Have a little money set by, so you'll always have money if you, uh, need it. Oooh, those shoes are pretty!
- Just wait a day. It will still be there. Trust me. But you might not want it.
- OK, why the heck are you buying it? 'Cause it's cheap? Cool? You don't know? Just think of one thing you could use it for.
- If you can't, DO NOT BUY IT. And I did need those giant paper clips, nosey.

THE BROKE FASHIONISTA'S GUIDE TO CLOTHES
OK, you're broke, what's new?
But never fear, Money Miss is here to help you look like a million dollars, on a dime...(Couldn't resist!)
1. CHAIN STORES! DISCOUNT STORES! Whatever you want to call them, GO THERE! You can pick up great clothes for next to nothing. These are my saviour.
2. Don't be afraid to go to uncool shops. You can get basics like polos and jumpers. Don't just don't say where you got them!
3. Go through mom's old stuff. I just got a load of hand-me-downs from my mum from the 80s. Love them. Love that they were free!
4. Have a clothes swap party with your friends. Get together once a month with your best gal pals and swap clothes. You'll always have new outfits!
5. Go to the guys section. No, I am not joking. You can get super cheap polos, tees, and if you want the boyfriend trend, why not go straight to the source?

The Tooth Fairy
This is for JYP.
She sails through the night
Picking up your teeth
Cursing that you forgot to brush
"WHY?"
She wails,
"Is my job to do with placque?
I don't even get paid
A dentists Fees!"
And, so, tonight,
Little kiddies,
As you go to sleep,
Remember the tooth
Fairy
And don't
Forget
To brush

I'm feeling pretty crappy. This is because a week or two ago, I tried out for the school musical. We're doing The Sound of Music. I got a recall for the acting auditions, and for the last week have been waiting on tentorhooks to see if I made it.
So, after school, I went to the place where they were announcing who got a part.
All the major parts were announced, and I wasn't on the list.
I was a bit sad, but felt OK about it.
Then the guy said:
"These are the less major parts, they'll have one or two lines, and no singing. If you're one of these parts, the good thing is you can be in the chorus."
Oh, joy.
"Now, in the movie there's one major postulant, but we've decided to make two. Postulant 1, _________. Postulant 2..."
Then he called out my name.
See, the thing is, if I didn't get a part at all, I could just say to myself that I wasn't right for the parts, and there was always next year.
But being a postulant?
That's the worst thing ever.
If you've seen the movie, you know the scence where these two young nuns go up to the head nun (?), and say "mother, we have sinned" and hold up car parts from the Nazi jeeps?
I'm one of them.
I get to say mother, we have sinned.
It's so unfair. You know what makes it worse?
There's a girl who was really nervous at the auditions, and I lent her my song sheet and was nice to her.
Guess who got a major part?
She totally rubbed it in my face.
I guess I must have looked really downtrodden or something, because she "What's wrong?" and I was like "I play a nun," and she said: "Well at least you got a part."
Like she hadn't got a major part, or anything.
I feel so crappy.

Crazy, I know...
But I've started my holiday shopping. Seriously, you wouldn't believe the amount of money you can save by buying your stuff early. Personally, I hit clearance sales year round for cheap goodies. Here are a few things that they'll never know were bought months ago...
- Clocks. I picked up a few clocks a few weeks ago for---wait for it--- 0.50!!! And they look cool.
- Handbags & Shoes & Jewellery. Pick some up in the sales and come the holidays, you'll be very popular!
- Books! Need I even explain this?
- Stationery. Head out to your nearest discount stationery shop, and grab the cute notepaper.
Just a little planning will mean you'll have more money for the January sales!
PS: Sign up for the Money Miss newsletter! Yes, you read right, NEWSLETTER!!! Just send a email to mmnewsletter {at} lissamail {dot} com with "subscripe" as the subject. You know how much I hate spammer jerks, so your email will be kept private!

Lookin' pretty on pennies
*You onlu need one lotion---body lotion. Use it as hand cream, foot cream, hair lotion, and, oh yeah, body lotion.
*Get a hair cut that grows out graceully. That way, you need to get your hair cut every 6 months.
*Hello, do you know how easy it is to do your own manicures?!
*Cut open your lotion bottles when you can't scoop out any more, then put it in a bottle.

Sally Lockhart
If I email you, you'll see that it's from Sally Lockhart. Trust me, it's not. Sally Lockhart is a character from the a series of books by Philip Pullman, and I just typed it in for the fun of it. Whoops...
Ways to have more money, part 2
- Stop buying impulse things! Think about it: do you really need a pair of pink fluffy lepord print high heells??
- Buy your sweeties in bulk. And buy the own brand. 11 bars of own brand chocolate bars work out at... .25 each!!!
- Library, library, library....I'll be saying this forever...
- Instead of buying fashion magazines, just look on the net.
PS: Everybody thinks I'm weird because I'm a computer geek and I have tons of blogs. They don't know the addresses, I need someone to talk mean about them!
Me: Yeah, one them is a fashion blog.
S: That is SO weird.

School.
I actually like maths, but my teacher is fast putting me off it.
GUESS what he did?!
Oh, only put up a broken clock, so we were all wondering WHY time was going so slowly, until he told us.
Pure evil.
My year is one of the younger years, so we get shoved out of our seat a lot.
WOW, THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHOVING ME OUT OF MY SEAT AND SO WE ALL HAD TO EAT STANDING UP.
God.
Anyway, you're tired of this, so:
ASK MONEY MISS!!!!!!!! Email your questions and if you're lucky, I'll answer them on my blog.
So long. (And people, quit it with the bitch thing in my chat.)
