Well-meaning economy drive

Jump to: Newest in thread

 

By (user no longer on site) OP     over a year ago

Its nearing the end of the month and Christmas is also fast approaching so thought I'd go on an economy drive and stay at home all week.

So far I have had to pay the Avon lady, bought some books and music online, sent for a birthday gift and now the window cleaner has arrived! Ive spent a fortune and never left the house!

So much for saving money!

What hijacks your well meant intentions - not just regarding spending but general waylaying and procrastination that put a spanner in the works?

Bloody FAB for one!!!

Working from home is difficult if you are not organised and the constant interruptions are a pain. Makes you wonder what they do when you are at the office/shop! lol

(Now, must get on with the decorating! )

Yes getting more expensive. They're on par with a lot of cosmetic ranges you expect to pay for in department stores but she's just a bairn, newly married and looking for extra income and I feel sorry for her if I don't order. I said I was going on hol and handed catalogue back immediately, last time and she looked forlorn. Yep Im a sucker but we've all been there in your youth xxxx

1 bacardi is my downfall. 1 bacardi leads to a bottle which leads to large donar kebab and chips which leads to doing something i regret. So i dont drink bacardi anymore

I think my Christmas shopping bill will go down as he and his girlfriend are moving to Liverpool. Just some vouchers in a card for them. Ad to anything else, I buy most of my cloves at charity shops, my problem is that I often buy more than I should and end up struggling for a few weeks, no more I guess than those that pay full price.

Watched one of those money saving programmes, the one guy decided to buy a holiday online as it's supposed to be cheaper but what with all the add ons, it came out as expensive as if he had gone to a travel agent

petrol stations are really doing it for me at the moment, am off work for the next few weeks and every time i fill the bike up i think ''right take it easy and i wont have to fill up again this week'' but then i think, its coming to the end of the sunny days, the roads will soon be wet and slippery i may as well go for a little spin. A couple of hundred miles later i arrive back at home with an empty tank again, but with a big smile on my face.
