    Hi everyone :wave: I love this thread, it's really interesting to read....

    I do NOT need to go to Ikea just because I have a storecard with plenty of credit on it and by going there after work for a couple of hours means I miss rush hour traffic (New year's resolution that it'll be gone and paid off by March 2007)
    I do NOT need to buy anymore bedding or stuff for the house (see above). What's the point when I'm still renovating and building?All the gear I do love is packed away and it'll be brilliant when they do get unwrapped.
    I do NOT need to lust over `stuff' in the glossy home magazines on the 3x£1 offers. I got my `lightbulb' moment when the latest edition said `burnt orange and lime green' is the new trend for Spring! (makes puking noises - I mean, honestly!! Thank God the offer's ended now.....)
    I do NOT need a kebab as a fortnightly treat - I DO need to just drive on by the shop - 70mph is not fast enough lol!

    However.............

    I DO need to get motivated to start my new business.
    I DO need to get motivated to finishing my house off.
    I DO need to carry on being savvy with my money following LBM in September/October 2006.
    I DO need to have more confidence, stop bouts of miseries and be happier in myself!!!!

    Love Sas x
    P.S; And one last thought - I DO NOT need, or have to put up with cr*p, from small minded *&^986's at work! I am a competent, mature grown-up not five year's old!!! Grrrr

    Right after hunting through wardrobes, I definately don't need to buy more polo shirts, sweatshirts or trousers yet for the boys, they have over 10 poloshirts each, 5/6 sweatshirts, and ooodles of trousers, and they only go 5 days a week so it's time to start pulling my finger out and make sure theydon't run out because of the lack of washing/drying I have done!!!

    I don't need to buy things as a comfort or out of guilt as the feeling doesn't last long enough to justify it.

    I don't need to buy loads of chemicals to make my house smell good, I just have to keep it clean! Saving money and the enviroment.

    I also forgot the big one, no matter how much I could just do with one now, I DON'T NEED CIGARETTES any more!!!
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    I've been Money Tipped!
    I do not need the 60 or so CD's I own when I listen to them on my MP3 and they sit and gather dust.
    I also do not need all my DVD's which are also sat gathering dust as I never get chance to watch them.
    I do no need a guitar that I never play as it was not intended to be a ornament.
    I do not need Sky Sports just to watch one programme a week.
    I also do not need Sky Movies now as it's the same films everyday.
    I do not need 2 coats and 4 jackets when 1 coat and 2 jackets will do.
    I do not need books I have already read.
    I do not need txt messages telling me when Hartlepool have scored.

    I have reduced my Sky Package from £43 down to £21 per month.
    I have started selling all my CD's/ DVD's/Books and my beloved guitar.
    I have stopped my Goal Alerts for Hartlepool.

    • I do not need a machine that blows bacon flavored bubbles for my dog.

    I must have one of these, where can I find one?

    No dog though.

    The bacon flavoured bubbles will be mine.

    I dont need more clothes for work. My wardrobe is full and I don't LIKE these people anyway!

    I dont need to take a bus into town - a 30 minute walk never hurt anyone (it might even do me good)
