Virtual Coffee - My Saving Progress

It's that time of the week again ladies (and gents), Tuesday is here already which means it is Virtual Coffee day. 

If I were really having coffee with you today I would offer you a cake or bun of your choice especially for Bee happy as she requested these on last weeks post and I promised I would bring them along : ). 

If I were really having coffee with you today I would tell you that I'm doing well so far with my saving.  A month or so ago I invested in this book.

I am loving it.  There are some brilliant tips in it, some of which I am pleased to say I am already following.  Always a bonus in my eyes, even better to know you are doing something right : )

I'm still not finished reading it yet, I have a little way to go.  It is my bedtime reading and sits next to my bed for me to delve into each evening after a long day at work.  What I love about it is how easy it is to read, you can read as much or as little as you like in a sitting and it is so easy to pick up from where you left off.  It has been written in sections for example, Crafts, Shopping, Food etc.  I'm sure I will be referring back to this one in the future, watch this space.

If I were really having coffee with you today I would tell you that I am actually quite enjoying this whole thrifting and saving experience.  I would be lying if I told you that it was easy, because it is far from it, old habits are not easy to break, but I am slowly getting there.  It has given me the opportunity to have a real good clear out and make a bit of money from things I no longer want or need.  I feel I have a clearer space around me and I can appreciate the things I have got and no longer feel the need to impulse buy (whether this feeling will last we will just have to wait and see).

So until next time ladies.

Take care
