    Do you think it's because you've struggled for so long and the end is in sight that you're a bit more chilled out about it because you're not worrying so much anymore?
    I think I'm just getting so p*ssed off with having to watch every penny that I'm thinking "Knickers to it" and just buying something because I need a treat :o

    I need to sort myself out, a new Fresian challenge maybe :D

    Hmmm.....depends on the day :D I tend not to count grocery spending because I budget for that. We can decide what a low spend is each day - total honesty and we judge each other, how does that sound? I can justify my spending till the cows come home, but I need someone to be harsh!

    Do you feel guilty if you spend on yourself? At times I do but I'm sucker for nice [STRIKE]expensive[/STRIKE] smelling toiletries and I feel guilty using them until the bottle/tubs/tubes are finished :o

    I really love the soap in lush but it's nearly £3.00 for 100g's :cool:

    Yeah that sounds fine!!

    I'm normally quite soft heated and quiet so it might be a struggle for me to be harsh, but I'll try my best. :A
