My new years resolution:
Take advantage of glitches/deals on things I'd normally buy and/or things which are better than free - ONLY
I am guilty of wasting money on things I don't need and don't want - just because it's glitching or seems an irresistible deal.
A current example (for me) is Toberlones, yes they are 67.5p~ each (which seems to me a good deal). However, I don't want them and yet up, until now, I haven't been able to resist needlessly spending money on them.
Develop the willpower to avoid spending on glitches I don't really want.
Better than FREE glitches I can accept thoseBitcoin. If you haven't heard of it, you have now.0 -
Did prompt my Dad to insist that I'll probably change my mind about kids 'one day'. Well, I'm pretty certain that 30 years of being dead set against it hasn't made any impact on this opinion.Apparently I haven't met the right man yet, and that's all it is. Rather than a feeling deep within my very soul that I never want to have a childI ordered a club sandwich from room service and the guy who brought it up to me was genuinely a male model. In a white suit. This must be what heaven is like
Puts two and two together

My Elite resolution is think more carefully about my fillers. I don't need a carrier bag of 10p sweets in my cupboard (although I did give them to the foodbank)
It's only a bargain if you need/use/want it0
