Hello!
My dear Cousin Bernadette (This is what I have named my relationship with debt.) is running all over the apartment in a huffy mood, trying to upset me so I go out and hit those after holiday sales with her..........sales I cannot afford to spend at right now. I know I don't need anything, but she wants me to go out. I am resisting....the best way I can right now is to start cleaning so I start seeing all the stuff I already have that I don't have room for.....Dear Cousin is doing her best to tempt me however, and she does not want to clean.
I am eyeing the coupons for the department stores in the newspapers........but I am also eyeing my bank balance and the bank balance says, "NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!" I am trying very hard to not create new debt unless absolutely necessary, and this is not necessary. (I may have to charge a medication shortly, however, but that is necessary.)
I am going out for dinner tonight as a belated Christmas gift which will be nice. I am also trying to catch up on rest that I did not get during the holidays (even though I was very sick). I don't need to go shoppng today, Cousin B............so shut up and leave me alone!!!!

I know exactly what you are talking about. My husband borrowed my father's car to baby a few things needed. However, he showed up with a backpack to carry his new laptop. (His boss bought him a 17" screen laptop.) The backpack cost $90 plus tax. He charged it.
I tell you.....Cousin B should just disappear from the face of the earth.

Hi, Heather! Yes, I did go and rent a video, and I just got done with it. After the news, I will start some project in the house...probably organizing the last of 2004's receipts and some correspondence I have to do with my insurance company. I also have a bunch of trash to throw out and some hand wash laundry to do....I made it thru the day without shopping....yay!!!! And it wasn't that bad. Let's hope I can get something done tonight as a continued positive step.
