Yes my mum lol, she tells me if you don't see yourself using/wearing it in the next 7 days then you don't need it and your wasting money.

I'm must be a little strange as if someone says I can't have something I want it more. Also as I work full time I would resent my partner commenting.We had a shared account for bills and savings, so anything reminding is my £ to do what I want .

But to stop myself splurging on non essentials I put them in my online basket but don't checkout. Normally you get a reminder from the company and if I still want it I check out then.🙂

beccatavender ooh I didn’t think of it that way. Interesting but true though. I think as long as bills and essentials are sorted... nothing wrong with getting what you like.. unless you have things you dont use once you’ve bought them. That’s a bit of insanity 🥴
