Excellent stuff!

Here is my question... What one think do you wish you could stop spending money on?

Ink for my printer :rotfl: . Why is it so expensive. Especially when my DD's want to print off pictures that are so colourfull and long they could rival the Bayeux tapestry :rotfl: :rotfl: . Also smoking. Like teecee I gave up and then started again with my LBM.

I smoke about 5 a day but that's 5 too many, will be quite glad when the smoking ban comes in on 1st July as I'm hoping that will give me the kick up the bum that I need. I don't smoke in the house or around DD but I still wish I hadn't started again ( I blame stress!!).

I would definately agree that if I could do it all again I would have contacted CCCS years ago instead of struggling to pay minimum payments that then became overwhelming.

Ummm yes and I would definately improve my choice in men!!!

Mine has got to be clothes for the kids. I don't tend to buy expensive items but the odd £3 here and there at Tescos soon adds up. However, I have recently sold some of their clothes that no longer fit/don't like etc on Ebay.

dreamer I agree I have treated DD to some new clothes (money given by fantastic brother to treat ourselves ) but I do sell DD's old stuff to try and compensate.

Hi smiley,

My big question for today is................... What do you pay more attention to now than you did before your LBM??

I also pay more attention to online banking - tend to check it daily whereas before I just used to wait for the statement to arrive in the post.

Cost of things when food shopping. I now tend to buy whats on offer (buy one get one free).

Check the fridge and use before expiry date. Before it would just have gone in the bin.

Brilliant answers guys (wish my pupils were so inspired - but then again - it is maths!).

YM - that's such a heartfelt answer about spending time with your family. Brought a wee tear to my eye.

I really don't envy you guys with the smoking thing. It must be so hard. I can't give up chocolate and crisps, and they aren't nearly as addictive!

It must be hard dreamer having to buy bits and pieces for the kiddies. I'm lucky there I guess.

So true about starting it all earlier teecee - if only!! But then we might not have met each other!!
