Indeed. And it's winter. We are all tired all the time of late. Not long now till the shortest day though. There are some downsides to country living in hills. No where near enough light . Hardly notice it in cities. In fact, writing that has made me realise I need to restart sports centre. I need a boost before I flipping curl up into a ball and sleep till spring.

Admitted, she hasn't got on so well with taking her own lunch to work, that only happens one day per week.

Thank you, I suppose really it's no wonder I'm tired all the time as of late.

One day a week is a 25% improvement (no lunch fri - half days) on pre-budget days xx

Though the lack of street lights allow for all the stars to be seen brightly on clear nights. My wife and I have been sat out tonight.

Wednesday 4th December, 2013.
Day 95.

Dear Diary,

My day has not been so great today, as I got confirmation my customer was backing out of the other deal. However, I've had a nice evening with a new music pupil and later with Mrs. K.

Today I was woefully tempted to buy myself another watch for Christmas to replace the one I sold a while back. However, I forced myself not to walk into the jeweller's shop. Instead buying a very nice bottle of wine which my wife and I enjoyed a glass of this evening with half the bottle still to share.

At the moment, I have a lot of work to do and hardly have any time to do battle with my debts. Having said that I did hear back from the second Full and Final offer today but again, I will be sending another offer for I am certain I can get a better offer from them.

Summary:
+£50.00 Music Teaching.
-£35.00 Wine.

Yours Faithfully,
Alex.

At £35 maybe he is :rotfl:. I'll stick to my Campo Vieja down to £6 in Tesco, 25% off if you buy 6 = £4.50 a bottle :T.

I should lecture you over the cost of the wine, but you did bring in £50 from music, you avoided the jewellers, so in a way - ok - and as you said it was a treat.... Don't do it to often! x

It was a treat for Mrs. K. and I. She still doesn't know I've only got £15.00 left of music teaching money though.

We have bought a quite a few £5-10.00 bottles in the name of experimentation, Mara and enjoyed some.

In my effort to curb spending when I want to buy myself "a treat", I'm trying to find cheaper treats and seem to be succeeding. Had I bought the watch I know it would have left me feeling guilty and led to an argument.

:rotfl: My bank balance won't let me do it too often, not that it used to stop me, mind.
