    Default if you aren't buying cm stuff do you find you spend elsewhere?

    Sometimes I really feel like I need to join a spending anonymous group or something.. last I spent loads on cm resources.. and this year I'm spending it
    on yoga classes, organic food and relaxation dvds...

    does anyone else find they seem to just spend and spend? and if you are
    like me do you curb yourself? I just don't understand why I do it...

    what do you do? would be really interested to here from you ladies as I think
    there are a few of us out there .xx

    I think online shopping is just too easy - a couple of clicks on a site like amazon and it's on it's way!

    I spend nothing for months and save everything I can, but then have a mad spending spree in one go, although its mostly stuff that needs to be spent on like the house.

    I'm just the opposite, I hate shopping and spending money, a bit of a miser I suppose.

    We are very lucky in that we have most things so find it hard to spend money but still do on 'stuff'!! Went out all weekend and spent a lot but had 2 lovely days so opposed to getting items its now more days out!

    Have had the garden done so thats been a lot lately.

    I keep spending my money on animals I currently have 5 horses, two pigs, two dogs ,two cats and am planning to get some chickens and then perhaps two guinea pigs as a friend has said i can have her hutch... i should be called noahs ark childminding. Its a huge amount of work and i am shattered every night oh and not surprisingly I have lost 1.5 stone so now need lots of new clothes...
    Go with the flow.

    That is sooo true! And paying by PayPal is even worse because it's not real money

    when the money starts coming in it will want to spend it on craft stuff for me but in reality it will probably go on electric bills and daughters music and swimming lessons!
