    Well the start of another brand new month tomorrow! Crikey this year has flown already! :eek:

    I need to start pulling my belt in a bit more. I'm doing OK but I could be doing better. :think:

    I seem to be saying this to myself every month so I need a shake up to get my butt into it! :think:

    I want this month to be a good one for not spending and hopefully it will set a trend. :)

    Isn't the knowledge that comes from experience more valuable than the knowledge that doesn't?

    I've got a dilema! :think:

    I want to buy something for fishing that is gonna cost me about £400. Now I don't need it, but it will definately help me catch more!

    I don't know whether I'm looking for peoples approvals or looking for people to tell me it's a bad idea. :confused:

    I've wanted one for a long time now so it's not a whim (sp).

    I have got the money for it if I was to purchase it. It just means it wouldn't go towards the debts and that makes me feel guilty! :undecided
