Bad habits

In an effort to take control of our spending (with an aim to saving as much as possible) I have decided -again- to track everything that we spend, but this time, inspired by the yearly roundup posts from Thrift Deluxe, I will keep track of it in categories.
As I sat trying to decide whether to order a multi-sectioned notebook from Amazon, or take a trip into Swansea this week I had a Duh moment. 5 minutes, a big blank notebook (except for a few pages of job-hunting nonsense, not likely to need that), and a chopped up greeting card... voila. Goes to show what a reflex spending has become, yikes!
