and we are off

I had this great idea that I was going to post everyday
(therein lies the problem, exhibit a)
about my spending.
Not as the main part of my post
but as a footnote.
As a own wake up call exercise.

Only a I forgot already
(therein lies the problem, exhibit b).

The reason I thought this might be a good idea
is that according to Mags
I am a spendthrift*.

I am not.
And Mags doesn't know how to post comment so she can't respond
HA!

Whether I am or not is not really that relevant when
what I want to do is be more responsible with my money
and pay of all my debts by 31 Dec 2011
and get my story on the telly**
for living frugally and still living well.

Any ideas?
Other than on the discipline it takes to post regularly.
(therein lies the problem, exhibit c)
Did I tell you I may have less than ideal diligence and discipline
That is the problem.

I'll start on the 14th when I get paid.
Remind me ok?


* Spendthrift - a rather deceptive word denoting a money spender not a thrifty spender. 
** actually I'd tend be mortified at public attention (the luxury of anonymous blogging), after the one time I was on the telly and my brother Punky Pete said "Yeah you could tell it was you by your huge butt bending over in the background."  For the record the one thing that is not huge about me is my butt.  And my butt was attached to me at the time of said bending.
