I'm getting into library books to read during my lunch break at work and mornings with breakfast. That used to be when I read mags, and did I ever read loads of them - 7 a month! A real glossy addict. I'm trying to save money as we're living on my income only now - see my blog, below! Any tips would be welcome. I'm trying to generate more income by writing articles for helium.com and putting links on my blog. Let me know what you think!

But, probably my biggest money vice is shopping for deals. I'm one of those girls that is enticed more by the deal than the item itself. Unfortunately, a lot of stuff is not really needed or sits in my closet waiting to be given as a great gift. Trying to break this nasty habit, and unloading some of the accumulated damage on ebay.Kalihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02861169051206389197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29579128.post-1155932861963037362006-08-18T16:27:00.000-04:002006-08-18T16:27:00.000-04:00Starbucks all the way.

Like "My Pink Purse and Me" the folks in our local Starbucks know exactly what we want without asking. Our picture adorns the bulletin board along with other frequent customers. But, I don't go for the "coffee" per se since one could rightly argue that my favorite drink is mostly whole milk and other flavorings!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29579128.post-1155928402568716262006-08-18T15:13:00.000-04:002006-08-18T15:13:00.000-04:00starbucks. so much so that their giftcard is the O...starbucks. so much so that their giftcard is the ONLY thing my family and friends get me for birthdays and christmas.
