Hmmm...I must confess I spent this past weekend....I bought some treats for myself on Friday, and then I spent $35 on Sunday....I should not have, but I did....I won't beat myself up over it, but I know I should have had more control....but I am working on that. (I bought make up I really didn't need......)
I haven't totally shot my whole debt repayment plan, but I know I have to be more mindful of it. So I am starting again.....
I did manage to do some good things for myself this weekend, and I wish I had more time for it! I cleaned the livingroom last night.....got 3 bags full of junk paper, but then it still doesn't look like I did much. I think getting organized will have a lot to do with me getting a better grip on finanaces.....If anything, it will keep me busy and away from that tempatation trap called THE MALL!!!! (Yes, I went to the mall.....It is attached to the bookstore I wanted to go to.....I should not have wandered out the back of the bookstore, but I did....I even had the major credit cards all at home, but I had one empty store card, and so.......UGH!!!! But, it could have been much worse!)
My next money issue in my face will be next weekend. A dear relative and her daughter and I are going out for her birthday...and she is not shy about asking for gifts which I used to be able to give her, but since being unemployed and needing to recover from that and proices and rent going up and my paycheck not growing...I can only buy a meal, and that is it. I should not have had to explain to her I have no more money to be handing out as I did before, but I did, and I think she was upset even though she said nothing.....and she's getting divorced soon and I think she thinks I am going to give give give give give to help her set up a new household after the jerky husband moves out....she told me to buy her an iron.....I was floored.....I have decided to show up with $50 and whe it is gone, it is gone. (I like her, we'll have fun, we do have a nice relationship, but it won't be the kind based on gifts anymore......LONG story. I AM CURED.)
Going to exercise class now.
Best wishes, Littlesbigs
