Saving and Profligacy

Sometimes I get the feeling that I'm constantly failing to be abstemious, on all fronts of my life.

- I keep eating stuff I shouldn't, and can't manage the hands-by-sides don't-eat-that thing that just might result in a few measly pounds disappearing from my now-rather-ample frame.

- I keep spending money I sort-of-can but can't-not-really afford to spend. This is a bit of a bummer, this one. I have a generous redundancy payment, but I also know it's going to take me several months to get to a point where I'm earning any money at all, let alone a decent living, so I really need to hang on to it and stop bloody spending it. And then there's pregnancy and the possible illness and inability to earn, not to mention maternity leave... I shouldn't be spending this money. But I am. Bother.

- Time. I keep spending time, when I should be saving it. I don't have so much of it each day, and I keep trying to do far more things than I have hours for.

- Resources. I keep using stuff up.

Bother all round, really.
