Do you over spend?

[Wobbles]

I do! Mainly on junk as well all those nic naks you think you will like well you will but end of day it won't all fit in

I have so much junk food in my cupboards that I bought couple of weeks ago then I got a lovely hamper from you girls but today I still bought MORE!

we have a secret santa with 5 other friends and I ALWAYS go over the limit....other than that, I had to stay on budget this year with babes coming so soon after. Next year...I am going to be spoiling my little man a ton!!

wobbles darling I posted in main forum a money saving tips thread

and yes we kind of went a bit over what we planned for Christmas, but no where near what we spent in past years.

I am the anti-collector now... I swear my kids break everything. Broke my heart when they took Katia's first Christmas ornament off the tree! Plus, I did collect magnets and they always play with them and ruin them... do I have to hide everything? just venting and tired...

I didn't really overspend this year. I shopped for deals and got almost everything on sale. I had saved money for Hubby's big present over the past few months, so that didn't kill me. Neither of us put anything on the credit card. Getting ready for the LO next month has been our priority this Christmas.

Next Christmas is going to be a whole different story since it'll be the first one with the baby. He's the first grand child of my parents, not to mention the first BOY in the family for a long time. He's going to be spoiled rotten.

I think we did okay this year, I could have overspent but money got so tight i had to keep an eye on what we spent.
Our last food shop before xmas, full of junk But you only get to get fat once a year (okay so im getting fat over time for other reasons ) so we just spent out on what we wanted.
