Comments

  • Do know what you mean, feel as though I've been scrimping most of my life, gets me down sometimes but when I find a bargain or manage to save some money it makes me feel good.
    I have 2 hobbies, crosstitch and scrapbooking, if ever I need anything always wait for the sales or look on Ebay, then I can use the money I've made selling items I don't want.

    Things will get better eventually and think how you'll feel when your able to afford luxuries while others are up to their necks in debt.
