Double Trouble - Nothing by halves

Karmacat

DT, Greying has the rights of it - and I think you're getting it, aren't you - just doing the basics, paying attention to the important things of life. Take care - I hop on a fair bit still, I'm checking up on you, you know :D:D

Ummm, is it really sad that I actually quite like that idea

I notice a lot of us seem to be in the "be kinder to ourselves" mindset this year ... in whatever format that takes with each person.

When I started my new diary ... I felt like I also needed to do "stuff" for me but kept worrying that it would detract from the debt busting. But after reading a few other diaries .... I realised that if I didnt allow just a little time or money just for me - I'd fizzle out again, like I've done before. I think we all need a little something to help us on our journeys :A

Hope your energy catches up with you again soon DT, mines still only making a half-hearted effort to keep up with me :rotfl:

OK that's two people I am officially worried about :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: actually I am quite fond of coloured pens myself

Yes GA I think the temptation is to get all out to debt bust because we just want rid but that is a recipe for a few months down the line saying sod it and having a big blow out

Energy is still lacking and now OH has taken himself off to bed so I am in charge ooh he has just got up I can feel a cappuccino coming on :T:T:T

Just keep hanging on in there GA that's about as much as I can do at the moment

Errr, excuse me, not just coloured pens, DT....coloured card. A different colour for each week with whole punched corners secured with purple ribbon......only the best for old fussy pants here (Just in case you were wondering, this week is lilac) It will obviously make shopping a far more enjoyable event

Being kinder to ourselves is definitely the way forward. It would be too much of a battle to survive long term otherwise.

Purple ribbon now your are talking my language I am known as the purple lady in Uganda :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I do think you need a new hobby though I am very worried now mainly because I could never ever find the time to do anything like that

Anything that makes shopping more enjoyable has to be worth a go :T

Hello your wooliness!

DT, I'm with you - I can't even make myself keep a spending diary, but I'm with you too, Hopeful - shopping has to feel good, or you (erm, I) can make some dreadful mistakes

Yes, you can include me in dreadful spending mistakes!!! I can't cope with a spending diary either, but I really need to tighten up on my spending. Since a change in circumstances I can only rely on my money and anything else i get has to be seen as a bonus. I've had to borrow to move and replace my car so there's a HUGE strain on my finances now. I am a stubborn devil and won't let it/people get me down (which is hard at times ). I function far better with a plan and always have my little ones for motivation. So wish me luck, 'cause i've gotta stick with it now,otherwise it will be a waste of pretty card and ribbon...i hate waste

:think: Errrrm... is now a good time to mention that some people also keep spending diaries / income forecasts / income & outgoing spreadsheeds and debtpayment logs :whistle: Some even keep dreamboards with pictures of their little n large goals on .... including bells, whistles n coloured ribbons

I am just sooooo sad :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Think I'd best go crawl in a corner somewhere & hang my head with the shame of it all
