Last night was a weak moment. I spent far longer than I would like to admit drooling over a pretty watch. It is amazing how in life we can justify stupid irrational decisions. Last year I fell in love with a watch … until I saw the price. Now I am lusting after another one whose only redeeming quality other than it being pretty is that it is 1/10th of the price of the original watch. 1/10th!?! **shaking my head**
It’s a slippery slope people, watch out. (pun intended!!) LOL
It is no secret that I like pretty sparkly things. But I am trying hard to keep it all under control.
I don’t need to buy things.I don’t need to buy things.I don’t need to buy things.
Maybe if I say it often enough maybe it will sink in.
On a different note, once this month is over and the no (low) spending is relaxed just a little, I will turn my coffee tin change pile officially into a “Sealed Pot“. It will not be opened again until December 2, 2012. At that time it will either magically turn into a watch or be put towards Christmas shopping. Either way a WIN-WIN.

I think you should have a different savings for Christmas and use your sealed pot money for something pretty & sparkly!!! (aka: watch)
That’s a great idea. This is why I like knowing you!!!
