Not sure how this happened, but due to a combination of factors (not feeling well, pure laziness, being on holiday), I stopped keeping track of my expenses for a period of time in February. So I'm going to do the quick and dirty method of expense tracking. This will involve basically counting all the ...

Why do we moan about other people’s choices?
I'm guilty of making judgments about other people's choices myself. Some LBYM people will disparage other people's choice to have children, others complain about other people's choices to live in a higher priced area, or to travel, to eat out, buy high priced toys or pretty much anything that we've personally chosen not ...
When will I learn…? Tossing food.

The high cost of weight gain
I just cleared out and organized 10 boxes worth of clothes ranging from size 2 up through 10 (I'm a size 12 now in case you care thanks to a year of 16 hour days working 2 freaking jobs both of which involved staring at a computer and minimal exercise). So I basically ...
