Confessions of a (reformed??!) Shopaholic

jojitsui

you need to spoil your self once in a while.
I have started to work on my list... I have 10 things so far

misslauren

Oooh, Jojitsui you'll have to post your list somewhere when it's done, or some of it anyway! lol.

Just got back from Tetsuya's... my God, that man is a genious. The food was absolutely incredible, bl&*dy expensive, but incredible! Another one bites the dust.

On another matter I think I'm starting to get over the boy a bit... even though I've been seeing him regularly, the feelings that were there are starting to go. Its kind of sad actually.... I'm going to see if I can go without seeing him a couple of weeks...

Thanks pinkhayley!

I love my list too, the only problem now is deciding which one to do next

Morning All!

So unmotivated to go to work today... lazing around all saturday does not make it easy to actually do stuff on Sunday. But today is my first day living more frugally, and thus, I must put my chin up and get those penalty rates!

Been thinking about my list, and have decided to pick a few from each title to work on for the time being... so these are the ones to concentrate on for now (Some are ongoing so I have to keep them in there):

Well.. As some of you may have noticed I've updated one of my debts below... St. George Card is now $5,570.00.

I really need to watch that one, because as I'm concentrating on the ANZ one, I don't want the interest spiking the amount on the card.

As for ANZ... I have a purchase pending coming through. I'll add it when it's finalised. I hate the situation I've got myself in, but I am glad that my spending is slowly improving. The little spends of gone, and most of the larger ones that unfortunately were necessary, and one the other day that was not, are now over. And I'm moving back in with my mum.... Which will definitely help.

Don't seem to spend at all when I'm on the coast.

Anywho....

Well done on controlling your spending - I know how hard it is :rolleyes:

I find it hard to muster any motavtion on a sunday.
It is the day of rest(well according to the bible it is and who am I to argue with that )
I am on 25 of my list now!! Most of mine are either free or cheapish so i am starting to wonder why haven't I done them before!!

IKWYM Jojitsui...it's this debt/denial of self thing...you never get yourself or do what YOU REALLY WANT...then randomly spend loads of money on silly things you don't need- typical aint it.

misslauren

Exactly Ziggles... I think the main step is taking some time to think about what you really want in life and where you want it to go.

I'm starting to look at some of my shoes and think "That could be me swimming with dolphins, that's my horse ride on the beach.." ...

Although only some of them. For the most part they are my babies :D

Am currently organising the bits and pieces that have been moved so far... I'm quite impressed with myself, I like my new room! :T

What are some of the things on your list Jojitsui?

Thanks for the encouragement shoe gal... I'm pretty happy with myself, I think the little purchases can be the hardest to curb, and they add up to a lot!! :eek:
