Hello,
I went into town today after a self imposed curfew for the last few months. I had decided that avoidance was the best way to stop me spending. However, I wanted to close an old Halifax savings account & pay a cheque into my new A&L account so ventured in at lunchtime.
But I found that I wasn't tempted into even looking in any of my old haunts. There was a new Cargo Homestore which looked to have some lovely cushions, homewares etc in, but managed to walk right by that too.
All I spent was my hours parking charge.
I think I must be becoming truly converted!

A true convert would have jogged into town saving the petrol and parking money!
Only kidding!

If you really must buy something, do it. Then get double the pleasure when you return it the next day
