retail therapy

this year we've decided to do less shopping and more saving. we need $$ for our visa application and we want to travel as much as possible before we try for children.

last year we roughly counted our expenditures and realized that we could have saved a lot if we hadn't bought as much as we did.

but i've got to say that i'm finding it really difficult and challenging to stop spending. i realize that ever since we've made that decision, i keep on getting emails of sale offers which is pretty often i must say. every week i get a couple of them. it's making me go insane especially since i've been quite stressed out with my studies. i either eat or shop to take the stress away.

i don't want to eat because i'm trying my very best to lose weight.
i can't shop because we're trying to save.

i'm trying to come up with valid reasons to shop to propose to the husband :)

on a different note, i've been feeling really tired lately. this week wasn't so bad because my 8 am class (which is the earliest class of the week) got canceled. the travelling and waking up early has taken a toll on me. 

i have to wake up around 5-6 am to get ready for class or placement. by the time i get back, i'm so tired to do any assignment at all. on the weekends, there's grocery shopping and church so i don't get to sleep in. well, we can go for the later service but then the rest of the day will be gone. 

now i should be doing some uni work but i just can't be bothered. my brains are too tired to function.

this is not good

oh wells. i'll rest as much as possible tonight and i will definitely do my assignments tomorrow! :)
