Today is day 8 of the spending fast and I cant say that it is going brilliantly.
I have been buying some junk food and today I bought a magazine.
No take away food though and no other frivolous spending over the last few days.
This is a big learning curve and I do expect to fall off the wagon. I also expect to get straight back on after a fall.
I think I need to remind myself more often why we decided to do this in the first place - so we can become debt free and buy a house next year.
I need to keep my eye on the prize.
Next week I start work. Im guessing that working 4 days a week will keep my spending in check. I will be taking food to work with me and from payday (next Friday) I will only be going to the supermarket twice a week.
The worst bit about being at the end of a monthly pay is that everything is running out and we end up going to the supermarket every day which means extra stuff that we might not otherwise get ends up in the shopping bags.
This is especially true if I have been for a run or swim.
Perhaps I need to pack a post work out snack so I dont go nuts in the supermarket? Hmmmm something to consider.
