  • Have you ever thought of adding eat chocolate to your list. If you're anything like me, that one always gets crossed off.

    Today I will spend money :( which is weighing heavily on my mind.

    This is an unusual feeling but probably an indicator that my lightbulb is very very bright at the moment.

    It will all be in budget and it will all be on things we need. I have made a list :D which I will not forget to take with me. Time will tell if I make it through the Mr T aisles without unessential stuff falling in............................chocolate digestives are essential, I just need to make that clear.

    I have been a busy bee already this morning. The dinner is prepped and is in the fridge, a meal plan for the rest of the week is written - hence the list. I have even harvested my red peppers and planted some wheat.

    I have checked my bank account, tweaked at my spreadsheet and made a PAD to a cc.

    Control is currently my middle name.

    My current addiction to chocolate digestives is the reason I need to do #3

    If I don't put - Eat an entire packet of chocolate digestives - on the list, we can pretend it never happened. :D:D:D

    Why? It's planned and in budget - that's good behaviour. It's the way it's meant to be. Feel smug and proud of yourself - I insist!

    Really? I thought it was By... Here all week, folks! :D

    On the other hand, if you put it on the list, you guarantee being achievementy!

    Good Morning :j

    I didn't get here yesterday, :o I am ashamed. All day I knew that I had to come here and something kept getting in my way.

    Never mind, I am here now. I managed an NSD yesterday. A true proper one. The day before I did spend money but it was budgeted and carefully worked out.
    I am starting to feel under control again. It is a lovely feeling.

    So now that I have feel more confident that I have my spending under control, I really need to start paying the bills - properly and on time.

    This may take more than a magic wand. :o:(:o:(
