My favourite biscuit!

When I’m trying to reduce sugar intake and I’m in a cafe having tea and toast instead of cake… and they give me my favourite biscuit!

Biscoff are the best biscuits in my opinion. If I’m going to cheat ob wheat and sugar then biscoff is worth it! Besides it is only a small biscuit, I tell myself. I will be good for the rest of the day. I won’t go shopping. I am determined to manage my money better. I used to manage it very well before I ever owned a credit card. I think also I manage money better if I withdraw cash. The only problem is there are some places which only take card! I use my debit card out and about, and the credit card for online purchases. The thing is I can get carried away, booking yoga retreats, nice events or workshops to have something to look forward to, and shopping! It’s the mindless shopping I want to get on top of but I’m not finding it easy. Next and Tkmaxx are my favourite shops, but I also like Joe Browns and Fat Face which I used to go mad on ordering online to my door. I’ve calmed that down at least. I have more than enough clothes, I really don’t need anymore! I love clothes though. I donated a bag full yesterday but then ended up buying 4 new items. Two jackets (Phase 8 and Coast), burgandy trousers (new with tag M&Co) and a jigsaw cardigan. All in immaculate condition! I think I use clothes to make me feel good.

I like to dress nicely but also love lounge wear. As you can tell, I really like designer labels.

Anyway, enough about that, I WILL manage my money better!

I will focus on writing more, and make new habits, like for instance, I began meditating daily. That helps. I may even have a declutter later on. Another thing I find challenging!
