Naughty me!
Dear Santa, put me on the naughty list! Overall I am impressed with our efforts to save money and get out of debt fast but sometimes it is like being on a diet. Cheating is bound to happen at times, and boy have I been cheating!
Here are the things I recently have had a weakness for (and given into);
1. Christmas gifts. I tried to set a budget early on, but sometimes a really good idea will pop up after the other gifts have been purchased. Luckily it wasn’t a total budget breaker.
2. Books! I feel like it’s been far too long without something good to read (I think I have read everything at our library that I want to read.) Plus, when I saw Kelli’s post about the In Stitches sew-along I gave in.
3. House things. Due to the relatives’ upcoming holiday visit, and also the cold weather, thermal lined drapes were purchased. Hopefully they will help a little with the heating and cooling costs.
Oh there are so many other temptations! Luckily my desire for debt free living is stronger than my desire for new clothing, a salon haircut, a new purse, and many of the other fun things I have seen at the stores recently. Do you think that I can turn the lump of coal I will be getting in my stocking into a diamond if I try really hard?

oh yes – sooo hard to stay frugal! I am not good at it! ESP when it comes to Christmas presents for my son and niece!
Good Try Aimee, if Santa fulfil some of your wishes, pls send him over to Singapore ok
Well done on staying debt free pal.
Keep up the effort. It’s a marathon to get debt free; not a sprint. I wish I had your will power.
