Need it?

I have a bank app on my iPad
It is easy to use....now Apple have introduced the fingertip as the way of navigating around I don't even have to remember my number.
I go into it every morning so that I know day by day exactly how much cash is available...so....
I have had a week of profligacy......
This is unusual these days....there's almost nothing I actually need.
David's question before any new purchase was "Do you need it? "
Now, with no one to ask any questions I find I am usually very good...but this week has gone against that trend.
New cashmere sweaters, socks, slippers, all wooly and warm stuff to see me through the coming winter.
I have resisted new jackets, waterproof gear and cosy slippers...but today's Bank check reveals my profligacy far too clearly. .
I am not going to spend anything else for a while....well unless it's something I really need!
Having no one at home to query my purchases is not good for me.
I fail to say "Do I really need it?" to myself often enough!
But if I did remember the question I would probably lie.....of course I do...winter is on the way!
Frailty thy name is woman!

How about the advice from my mother on law.

Do you need it?
Can you afford it?
Go home and think about it.

I'm as bad as you. With no one to curb my spending. But hey ho it's mine to spend. I do occasionally ask myself would I go to work to earn money for it? The answer s always a resounding no! So I don't ask that question often however with a little dog soon to be joining me the garden has to be made safe. So like you this month.....oh dear
