I think I actually managed a no spend day today. woo hoo.
Spent the morning wrestling with bank accounts - as in one of our savings accounts is in an account I have never taken money out of and they have changed their security systems twice since I opened it. Still, I spoke to a nice man who took me through all the new questions and stuff like picking out a nice picture and phrase for it. I managed to keep the same password which was a relief as its such a bind having to remember them all.
Just one more bank account to go. And we won't starve. hurrah.
Am having trouble stopping the whole Christmas indulgence thing with all the treats still about the plaee. I can't bring myself to actually clear any of it out tho. I have decided to keep eating chocolate and drinking red wine for a while yet. It feels comforting and luxurious and is going some way to counteracting the austerity measures in other areas of life right now.
I did not get up to do my yoga this morning. Not good. I had a bad night due to most everyone else in the house waking me up for one reason or another during the night several times. But then this morning I was listening to a typically Radio 4 feature about some actress and what she learned from doing her paper round when she was younger and a comment came out, that a key thing she had learnt was commitment and follow through and 'none of this, I can't be bothered to do it today' stuff' which made me realise that just because you are a bit tired and would rather stay in bed is not a good enough reason to welch on a commitment. So.
Its easy to be lazy and uncommitted, its easy to blow with the wind and flit from one interesting thing to the other. And one of my words that I honestly think will indeed play a role this year is WORK. As in DO THE WORK. Follow through to the end, keep going, show up - even when you don't feel like it.
Off to do my Yoga homework now.
