Part of simplifying my life is trying not to spend money. Well it seems to have ingrained well. better then I realised. Last week I grabbed a bargain on a corner computer des, I have been wanting one for a long time as it will allow me to rearrange my work space and make it work better.
the trouble is I really didn’t need it and i could have made do with what I have even if it isn’t exactly what I want. So it has sat on the floor waiting for me to make sure it is the right size (I was assured it was but I still need to check) Once upon a time it wouldn’t have bothered me buying but now it does. It will make my life easier and tidier but still ugh. I also purchased K 2 new pair of shorts which he has never worn. Still has the tags on. he just didn’t like them and now I think they are too big for him. I am going to return them. The money will be used elsewheres.
It is funny how things change in your life. i would never have thought twice a year ago and now, and now I can’t not think about it. DH was asking me what I wanted for my birthday last week and it took a long while of hinking before i came up with a pestle and mortar and pasta machine. I am truly happy to have them but it made me realise i am actually content with what I have in life. really don’t NEED anything else. The items i requested will make life easier but I don’t need them. And that makes me smile. I don’t need them anymore and I am fine with that. I am actuallt really happy with that.
The girls are learning to enjoy different things. Cooking, making, playing outside we have pumpkins growing and although they don’t like pumpkin they are really anxious to try the ones growing in their garden under their care. they check them daily. They watch tv and play music and the computer but i try encourage them into other things. we missed earth hour unfortunately as we had a business meeting occuring but the girls have asked to do it next weekend. I have said sure why not. If they wish to save the planet I will not discourage them.
