stop wasting money on little things I don't need and set my sights on the more expensive things that will mean more in the long run

I’m putting this on hold for a little while…

Because I’m sad

And when I did use all my money I’d saved on a big, important thing other things happened and it got cocked up

And now, buying crap of ebay gives me something to do and makes me feel a little better temporarily

And I need to make room for a goal that involves spending lots of money on flowers for my house to cheer me up

I’m just pressing the pause button on this goal for a while ‘til things start to get better again…

Tear.

I found some oh so beautiful red high heels with a t-bar, on sale for only £30. They were calling out to me….and I recently got a new credit card that wanted those shoes to be it’s very first purchase. It told me so.

But alas, it was no-win situation because if I bought them I’d feel guilty & if I didn’t I’d miss out on owning such beautiful shoesies and the associated gasps of awe as I wore them.

I didn’t buy them. sigh. I was strong. sob.

So, big fat yays to me for being a good girl!
(Just thought I’d post this cause it was haaaaard!)

Hehehe, life must be good when that’s your biggest problem eh! ;)

I’ve been shopping a few times and not bought any books/hairclips/shoes/clothes/general crap that I don’t need. I feel proud even though I’m stiiiiiill skint.
And I’ve started to tell my friends I’m not buying xmas pressies this year except for my parents and boyfriend. I know it sounds harsh but I spent over £500 last year!! Everyone else is getting hugs! And everyone I’ve told is actually relieved rather than offended coz they wont need to buy me something too!

Oh, how I need to work on this one; between eBay and used bookstores, I manage to spend far more than I should on little things.

I definitely need to buckle down on this.

I know the first two tattoos I want and where I want them. Jareth’s symbol from the 1986 fantasy film Labyrinth on my left shoulder, and an ornate, Russian Orthodox cross on my right shoulder. Both hold very special significance to me and I wouldn’t dream of putting something that wasn’t very important onto my skin for the rest of my life.

Now I just need to save up the money and get them done.
