I’ve been feeling very depressed these last few days, I think it’s because I’ve had to adopt a different routine than normal, i.e. No shopping!
I’m denying myself all the things that used to make me feel better, but put me in debt. I’m probably feeling this way because I’m denying myself the pleasures and not feeling any benefits. I have a bit of an impatient personality sometimes and like instant results, that’s why I don’t diet and don’t buy exercise videos.
I realise this is only my first month of Penny Pinching but it’s only a week after pay day and I’ve got no spending money- just enough for bills and everyday living and I can’t fall back on a credit card to supplement anymore.
This month I’ve found myself altering my spending habits, like by-passing my usual treats of hair products and make-up and using the few pounds in my purse to buy Mr Muscle sink unblocker! What’s happening to me?
Anyway by way of treat the *loml surprised me with a night at the cinema on Friday, the film wasn’t that great but I got to eat popcorn and was reunited with my old friend, the MacDonald Quarter Pounder with cheese and large fries. I felt a bit better about my situation after that except if my expense claim doesn’t come through next week I’m really up the creek without a paddle.
