What are you buying on pay day?

For those of us paid at the end of the month it's been a long one. Many of us got paid early in December before the Christmas close, spent it all on said holiday, then the sales. It seems like FOREVER since I had any money!

I'm on a budget but I plan to put £20 aside for an Amazon treat. I reckon with that I can get a workout DVD, a film DVD, a PC game and a paperback, or any combination thereof. Not the latest and greatest, but still goodies!

What will be your first purchase when the money fairy's been?

    Already ordered: Winter cycling gloved. My thumbs ACHED in the cold last weekend using my little running gloves. Cycling does not pump blood into your hands in the same way at all! Plus the extra wind chill factor!

    I myself get paid every other week, so I have had two pays since Christmas... That being said, on my next pay (which is Feb 3) I have to buy another pair of running shoes. This time though I am buying a GOOD pair. A supportive pair! I will have to go get fitted for one professionally this time, especially if I expect to run a 5km marathon in March!

    I feel bad because I am saving for a wedding and I just bought a nice pair before New Years but they aren't giving me the support I need so alas...I gotta do what I gotta do...lol I look at it as an investment for my wedding...the more I run the thinner and healthier I will feel for my wedding! :)

    Well, I get my yearly bonus at the end of this month and with that I will buy my daughter a t-ball bat and cleats as well as pants for games. Then I will buy my son a new pair of cleats and he has to have a new baseball bat (again...they change it every stinking season!!!) as well as pants and he needs a new pair of sliding shorts. Oh yeah, daughter needs a helmet, too.

    I'm so lucky, I get to pay my rent, electric, and water.

    Maybe if there's a little bit leftover I'll splurge on myself and get some petrol. I'll see how selfish I'm feeling afterwards...lol
